Laser hair removal for men in Zurich – back, chest, beard
You can hardly shave your back yourself; chest hair shows above your shirt, and on your neck, beard hairs get inflamed after every shave. With the Primelase® diode laser, we permanently reduce the hair – on your back, shoulders, chest, abdomen, neck, and beard.
Full back (upper, lower, shoulders): CHF 300 per session. Shaving on site available, consultation free of charge.
For men, shaving is rarely a question of willpower. It is a question of reach.
Perhaps you've been there:
The back – hardly accessible on its own, never quite clean, even with help.
Chest and shoulders – after two days, the stubble scratches under your shirt.
Throat and neck – Razor bumps and ingrown beard hairs, every single week.
Sport – Friction and sweat under tight sports clothing.
The laser acts on the hair root. After a series, 80–90 % of the hair no longer grows back.
Going into the water without shaving in the summer? Then start now.
Laser takes time – and autumn is the best time to start.
Hair grows in cycles
That’s why it takes 6–10 sessions at 4–8 week intervals. Each session reaches the hair that is growing at the moment.
Done by summer
Those who start in October or November will have completed most sessions by summer.
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 – significantly cheaper as a package.
Most men don't just laser one area. That's why we calculate in packages: 3, 4 or 5 zones combined freely, including the beard, neck, arms or intimate area. Individual zones starting from CHF 100.

Beard laser: all of it or just the outline – you decide.
With us, the beard consists of four zones: Cheeks, chin, upper lip and sideburns. You can have the entire beard lasered or just individual areas – for example, the line on the cheeks or the areas where beard hair grows in. Often added: the Neck for a clean line over the collar.
What is laser-treated no longer grows back. That’s why we determine together in the consultation how much of it should be removed. On the face, due to the dense beard hair, usually more sessions are needed than on the body.
All zones and individual prices.
Each zone can be booked individually or combined freely in a package. With our 3-, 4- and 5-zone packages, you can combine them as you wish — no matter which group you belong to.

Intimate area

-
How much does laser hair removal for men cost at alestetics® in Zurich?
A single zone costs CHF 100–200 per session, depending on size – for example upper back, chest or shoulders CHF 150 each, neck or chin CHF 100. Packages are significantly cheaper: 3 zones CHF 300 (e.g. full back: upper, lower, shoulders – CHF 450 individually), 4 zones CHF 350, 5 zones CHF 400. The full beard (4 zones) is also available as a package. In the 5-session plan over 6 months, the 5th session is included. The laser consultation is free.I can't shave my back myself – what now?
No problem: we shave on site for CHF 50 per zone. Or someone helps you the day before with a razor – please don't wax, epilate or pluck.When should I start to be done by summer?
Ideally in autumn. It usually takes 6–10 sessions 4–8 weeks apart, because hair grows in cycles. If you start in October or November, you will have completed most sessions by summer. And in autumn and winter your skin isn't tanned – that's when the laser works most safely. -
Which zones do men most often have treated at alestetics®?
The zones men most often have treated with us are:- Full back (upper back, lower back, shoulders)
- Chest and abdomen
- Neck
- Beard (cheeks, chin, upper lip, sideburns – all of it or just the outline)
- Intimate area and buttock crease – see our page on the intimate area & buttock crease
- Underarms and upper arms
-
How many sessions do I need for back, chest or beard?
For back, chest and abdomen, 6–10 sessions are usually realistic for an 80–90 % permanent reduction. For the beard and neck, the dense hair often needs more sessions. The first 3 sessions are 4 weeks apart, then individually – usually 5–6 weeks, later up to 8 weeks. In men, new hair can appear on the back and shoulders with age – a touch-up 1–2 times a year is then enough. That's biology, not a failed treatment. -
Does laser hurt on the back, intimate area or beard?
Thanks to CrystalFreeze™ sapphire cooling at a constant 5 °C, the treatment is well tolerated. You feel short pulses, similar to a warm pinch. More sensitive zones such as the beard line (straight neckline), intimate area, buttock crease or underarms are felt more than the back or legs – but much less than waxing. We follow a clear protocol and adjust the intensity to your reaction. You give feedback throughout the session and we adjust immediately. -
Can I have laser treatment as a man with tattoos?
Tattoos directly in the treatment area are a contraindication – the tattoo pigment absorbs the laser energy, which can burn or alter the tattoo. We treat around tattoos with a safety margin of about 2 cm. For large tattoos (e.g. a back piece or sleeve), laser hair removal isn't possible in that zone. We'll tell you honestly in the free consultation – sometimes treating the tattoo-free areas is still worth it. -
Is laser suitable for dark skin types (Fitzpatrick V–VI)?
Yes – Primelase® with its 810 nm diode is suitable for Fitzpatrick skin types I to VI, including very dark skin tones. The CrystalFreeze™ sapphire cooling at a constant 5 °C reliably protects the skin surface against hyperpigmentation. For skin types V–VI, we start with adjusted settings and often a patch test to assess the reaction. We have experience with all skin types and discuss individual risks openly in the consultation. -
Does laser work on blond, grey or red hair?
The effect is reduced on very light, grey or red hair. The laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair – the darker the hair, the more efficiently the energy is absorbed. In blond, light blond, white or grey hair this pigment is largely missing, so the treatment is less effective. On dark blond, brown or black hair, Primelase® is very effective – we'll assess your hair colour honestly in the free consultation. -
How discreet is the treatment – especially in intimate zones?
Discretion is standard for us, not an extra. Our clinic at Konradstrasse 1 is on the first floor, with no shop window to the street – nobody sees who comes or goes. Treatment rooms are closed, and we communicate clearly and matter-of-factly, without unnecessary comments. In intimate zones such as the buttock crease and intimate area, the procedure is standardised and respectful – we do this every day, it's routine for us. See also our page on the intimate area & buttock crease for details. -
What can I do about razor bumps and ingrown beard hairs?
Pseudofolliculitis barbae (razor bumps caused by ingrown beard hairs) is one of the most common reasons men come to us. The principle is simple: where no hair grows, no hair can grow back into the skin. Laser addresses the cause for good. If you keep your beard, we only treat the problem zones – usually the neckline and lower cheeks. If you want it completely smooth, we laser the whole beard area. After 6–10 sessions the razor bumps are usually gone. For many men, this ends years of skin problems. -
When is laser hair removal not possible for men?
Laser is not possible with:- Active infections or herpes in the treatment area
- Skin cancer or suspicious skin changes in the treatment zone
- Tattoos directly in the treatment area (the pigments react to the laser)
- Photosensitising medication (some antibiotics, antidepressants)
- Isotretinoin / Roaccutane therapy (at least 6 months after finishing)
- Freshly tanned or sunburnt skin (at least 4 weeks' gap)

„Laser treatment is very pleasant, quick, and extremely competent! (Compared to experiences in other practices, it’s simply great!) Your offers are tailored to the individual customer and are very supportive. I can only recommend them to everyone."
„exilis w/ katia … great service, very thorough, and super friendly. nice results as well… had already had some icons a few days before –)"

„Alex was pleasant to speak with and was able to answer all of my questions about my treatments and future treatments."
„Aleksandra was very professional, warm and friendly. She gave me excellent advice on what I needed, even though I’d booked a completely different treatment. All the risks and considerations were clearly explained, and I never felt like I was being pressured into anything. A great consultation… I’ve found my new go-to place for treatments.'
„A huge thank you to Alex for her advice. Her expertise and her calm, professional manner won me over straight away. She takes her time, tailors her advice to individual needs and gives fantastic tips for a home skincare routine. It’s exactly the kind of consultation you’d hope for – knowledgeable, warm and genuine."
„I really appreciate that there’s no pressure to buy extra services or products – just genuine, high-quality care. After nearly a year of visiting Alestetics, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences. Alex has been professional, kind and attentive throughout my visits. I highly recommend them!"
„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 a Vivace treatment combined with PRX-T33. The appointment went smoothly; the staff were very professional and efficient. The clinic is close to HB and centrally located. Alexandra was very nice and friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back!"
„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!"
„Katia is simply brilliant at her job! I’ve now had my third laser treatment. As I’m quite sensitive to pain, I really appreciate the fact that Katia always distracts me with a friendly chat. I feel very well looked after."
„I had a wonderful experience at the aesthetics clinic with Katia. She took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt confident throughout. I would highly recommend Katia for high-quality and truly personalised treatment."
„Review of the BTL Exilis treatment. I’m an active man and work out regularly, but despite my best efforts, I couldn’t get rid of that stubborn belly fat. I noticed a difference after just the first treatment. After several sessions, the difference was clearly visible."
„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!"
„I had five EXILIS treatments with Katia at alestetics®. The service was excellent – Katia is very professional and warm, and explains everything in detail. You feel at ease with her straight away. I’d definitely recommend her!"
„I feel understood, and they're absolutely lovely and professional!!"
„I had an excellent experience with the Icoone treatment. Antonia was simply fantastic – very professional, warm and incredibly friendly. She took plenty of time and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire treatment."
„I visit Alestetics regularly for Hydrafacial and microneedling treatments. The team are really friendly and flexible. The location is perfect, and the studio is clean and comfortable. After three treatments, my skin feels much clearer and my pores are slightly smaller."
„I feel completely at ease with Alex and her team! From the welcome to the treatments, the hygiene and the atmosphere: everything is simply always perfect. I originally came across Alestetics because of their laser treatments, but now I also go there for my facials."
„The treatments at Alestetics have worked wonders on my sensitive skin. With Katia, you’re in absolutely professional hands!"
„I'm absolutely delighted to have found this clinic in Zurich where, after just four sessions, I've seen amazing results! The girl who looks after me, Katia, is so lovely; she put me at ease right from the start and is incredibly professional!"
„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."
