Laser hair removal for women in Zurich – Bikini area, legs, underarms
Shaving in the morning, stubble in the evening, razor bumps in the bikini area, waxing appointments every three weeks. With the Primelase® diode laser, we permanently reduce hair – on legs, underarms, bikini area, intimate area and face. Those who start now in autumn will have completed most of their sessions by summer.
Full legs + underarms: CHF 300 per session. Consultation is free.
Smooth lasts a day. Then it starts all over again.
Over the years, hair removal costs a lot of time, money, and nerves. Perhaps you know this:
Shaving irritates the skin – especially on the bikini area and the underarms: redness, pimples, ingrown hair.
Waxing hurts – and the hair has to grow back before the next appointment can be made.
Stubble by evening – the morning shave can already be felt on your legs.
Fine hairs on upper lip or chin – you keep plucking them, and they still come back.
The laser acts on the hair root. After a series, 80–90 % of the hair no longer grows back – even with sensitive skin and with hormone-induced hair growth, with a slightly higher number of sessions.
Laser takes time – autumn is the best time to start.
Anyone who doesn't want to shave in the summer anymore should start now. Three reasons:
Hair grows in cycles
That’s why it takes 5–10 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart. Each session reaches the hair that is currently growing.
Done by summer
Anyone who starts in October or November will have completed most sessions by summer – just in time for holidays, the lido or a wedding.
Untanned skin
In autumn and winter, the skin is not tanned. Then the laser works most safely and effectively.
Multiple zones at the same time – faster and significantly cheaper as a package.
Most women don’t just laser one area. That’s why we calculate in packages: You combine 3, 4, or 5 zones freely – including face, arms or bottom. For comparison: Elsewhere in Zurich, full legs with a diode laser usually cost CHF 200–600 per session – without the underarms.

Frequently asked questions about laser hair removal for women in Zurich at alestetics® — prices, sessions, Brazilian/Hollywood, pregnancy, sensitive skin and more.
-
How much does laser hair removal for women cost at alestetics® in Zurich?
One single zone costs CHF 100–200 per session, depending on size: Bikini line, underarms, upper lip or chin CHF 100, upper thighs or lower legs CHF 200. In the package you pay significantly less: 3 zones CHF 300 (e.g. complete legs + armpits), 4 zones CHF 350, 5 zones CHF 400. In the 5-session plan over 6 months, the 5th session is included. The laser consultation is free. -
What do ‘Brazilian’, ‘Hollywood’ and ‘French’ mean when it comes to bikinis?
Each studio uses these terms differently. At alestetics®, there are four clear zones: Bikini line (CHF 100), Intimate without bikini line (CHF 150), Perianal – the buttock crease (CHF 150) and Po (CHF 200). Brazilian means bikini line + intimate area here; Hollywood means everything, i.e. additionally the perianal area. In the 3-, 4-, or 5-zone package, you can combine the intimate zones freely with other zones. -
How many sessions do I need for my legs, bikini line or underarms?
In large areas such as legs on average 6–10 sessions A permanent reduction of 80–90% is realistic. This is usually the case for the bikini line, underarms and face 5–8 sessions. The first three sessions are spaced four weeks apart; thereafter, the intervals are tailored to the individual — usually five to six weeks, and later up to eight weeks apart. Hormonal factors, hair colour, skin type and consistency in adhering to the intervals all influence the outcome. Some women also need Maintenance 1–2 times a year — that’s biology, not a failed treatment.When should I start so that I'm ready for summer?
Ideally in autumn. It takes 5–10 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart because hair grows in cycles. Those who start in October or November will complete most of the sessions by summer. Additionally, in autumn and winter the skin is not tanned – then the laser works most safely. -
Does laser treatment on the bikini line and underarms hurt?
Thanks CrystalFreeze™ Sapphire Cooling: a constant 5°C The treatment is well tolerated. You will feel brief pulses, similar to a warm tingling sensation. More sensitive areas You’ll feel it more in areas such as the bikini line, intimate areas or underarms than, say, the thighs — but significantly less than with waxing. We follow a clear protocol and constantly adjust the intensity to suit your response. You provide feedback throughout the session, we'll sort it straight away. -
Can I have laser treatment whilst I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
Laser hair removal is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy — we do not treat. We also exercise caution during breastfeeding and assess each case individually. If you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, we will schedule your first appointment for after you have finished breastfeeding. Hormone-related hair growth during or after pregnancy often takes several months to return to normal — we will wait together for the right moment. -
Is laser treatment effective for PCOS or hormone-related hair growth?
Yes, the laser also works with PCOS, hirsutism and hormone-related hair growth — but with clear limitations, which we communicate honestly. In cases where the cause is hormonal, more meetings are needed than in standard cases, and the results are less stable — new hair growth can be triggered by hormonal fluctuations. Maintenance sessions 2–4 times a year are often part of the long-term plan here. We’ll discuss your individual situation during the free consultation. -
Is laser suitable for sensitive skin, redness or darker skin types?
Yes — Primelase® with an 810 nm diode is designed for Fitzpatrick skin types I to VI suitable, including for darker skin tones. The CrystalFreeze™ Sapphire Cooling At a constant 5°C, the skin surface also protects sensitive skin or those prone to redness. In very reactive skin, we start with a Patch test, in order to assess the response and fine-tune the settings. -
Does laser treatment work on very light, grey or blonde hair?
The effect is reduced on very light, grey or red hair. The laser works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in the hair — the darker the hair, the more efficiently the energy is absorbed. In blonde, light blonde, white or grey hair this pigment is largely absent, meaning that the treatment is less effective. In dark blonde, brown or black hair Primelase®, on the other hand, is very effective — we’ll be happy to clarify this during your free consultation based on your hair colour. -
When is laser hair removal not suitable for women?
Laser treatment is not possible in the following cases:- Pregnancy (absolute contraindication)
- Active infections or herpes in the treatment area
- Skin cancer or suspicious skin changes in the treatment area
- Tattoos directly in the treatment area (pigments react with the laser)
- Photosensitising medicines (certain antibiotics, antidepressants)
- Isotretinoin treatment (at least 6 months’ interval after completion)
- Freshly tanned or sunburnt skin (at least 4 weeks' interval)

It’s exactly the kind of consultation you’d hope for – knowledgeable, warm and genuine."

„I love coming here; it always feels like I’m going to a spa. They don’t try to sell me anything and are very open about what the treatments can (and cannot) do for me. They take health and wellbeing very seriously and always make sure I know how to look after myself outside the clinic as well."
„Alex is amazing! She listens to what the customer needs and explains the process. She is very knowledgeable and also makes recommendations. For me, her fluency in English is extremely helpful when we communicate."

„I had RF microneedling and EXILIS treatments on my stomach at Alestetics and am extremely pleased with the results. In fact, the results are much more noticeable than I had expected. Katia is highly professional, very attentive and incredibly warm. I highly recommend her!"
„I spent a long time looking for the right salon for me and I’m absolutely delighted that I chose alestetics®. The salon is beautiful, and everything is spotlessly clean and hygienic. Thanks to the team’s caring, friendly and professional manner, I felt very comfortable and safe throughout the entire treatment."
„I’ve been to Alestetics several times now. Before the treatment, they carried out an Aura skin analysis, during which they explained my skin condition to me in great detail — it was incredibly professional and transparent. Katia, Antonia and Alex are incredibly caring, knowledgeable and professional. You never feel like 'just another customer'."
„Today I had my first laser treatment (4 areas) with Katia and I felt completely at ease. She was particularly sensitive to my needs, as I can be a bit sensitive to pain at times. Her friendly manner made the treatment a really pleasant experience!"

„All the treatments here are sensational. This wellness haven truly lives up to its reputation. It’s centrally located — right next to Zurich main station — and the atmosphere at the spa is serene and calm. Every visit to Alestetics is my monthly treat and feels like a mini-break."
„I’ve had several Endospheres treatments at alestetics. Alex and Katia are very professional, but also very friendly and caring. They’ve always taken my needs and wishes into account (avoiding the tummy after pregnancy). I can’t recommend them highly enough!"

„My favourite salon in Zh! Top-notch service, lovely welcome tea, friendly staff, helpful consultations, and I left feeling happy and glowing, looking gorgeous after my treatments. Thanks Katia, Alexandra, and the Alestetics team – one love!"
„At first, I was really impressed by the Endospheres therapy. But the Icoone treatment has surpassed everything: it massages the skin gently and painlessly from head to toe. I started the treatments less for firmer skin and more for my health. The team are like best friends to me."
„Very friendly and professional staff, who take the time to carry out a skin analysis and offer valuable advice! I highly recommend it. It was a pleasure to have the AURA 3D skin analysis and to discuss my daily skincare routine."
