Stop the endless cycle of shaving and waxing. Our 810 nm diode laser permanently reduces unwanted hair on all skin types, with visible results from the first session. Treatments performed by specialists with Sachkunde V-NISSG / V-NISRA in Basel.
Our medical grade 810 nm diode laser targets the melanin in each hair follicle precisely, permanently disabling regrowth without damaging the surrounding skin. Unlike IPL devices found in many beauty salons, diode technology penetrates deeper, treats all skin types including darker tones, and delivers visible results from the very first session. After a personalized plan of 8 to 10 sessions, most clients achieve a permanent reduction of unwanted hair.
Every laser journey at CP Praxis starts with a complimentary 15 minute consultation. We assess your Fitzpatrick skin type, hair characteristics, and medical history to confirm that diode laser is the right method for you. You leave with a personalized session plan and a clear understanding of costs, timing, and expected results, with zero obligation.
The treatment area is cleaned, shaved if needed, and a cooling gel is applied. Our specialist moves the 810 nm diode laser handpiece across the area, while integrated contact cooling protects the skin. Sessions take 15–60 minutes depending on the body area. Most clients describe the sensation as a warm pinch, similar to a rubber band snap.
Most clients need 8 to 10 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser only affects hairs in the active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions are essential. You will usually see visible reduction after the first 2 to 3 sessions, with the majority of permanent results achieved by session 6 to 8.
Most hair removal methods deliver only temporary results, with hair returning within days or weeks. Unlike IPL devices used at home or in many beauty salons, medical grade diode laser technology targets the hair follicle at the root for long term permanent reduction across all skin types. After 8 to 10 sessions, most clients no longer need regular hair removal.
Diode laser does not just slow hair growth, it permanently disables active hair follicles. After a full treatment cycle, most clients need only occasional maintenance sessions instead of constant shaving, waxing, or IPL treatments. The investment is finite. The results are long lasting.
Precision treatment for the most visible and most sensitive area. The 810 nm diode laser targets fine, dark hairs without affecting facial skin. Sessions are short (30 minutes), painless with integrated cooling, and especially effective for clients struggling with hormonal hair growth. From CHF 48 per session.
One of the fastest and most rewarding areas to treat. Most clients see dramatic reduction after just 3–4 sessions. The treatment also eliminates post-shaving darkening and ingrown hairs that affect the skin texture. CHF 88 per session.
The single most requested area in laser hair removal, and for good reason. Diode laser reduces recurring ingrown hairs, irritation, and discoloration caused by years of shaving or waxing. Three depth options available based on your preference. From CHF 98 per session.
Ideal for clients seeking a permanent solution to areas that are difficult to maintain on their own. The diode laser covers large surfaces efficiently, and most clients achieve full results within the standard 8–10 session protocol. From CHF 78 per session.
The largest treatment area and one of the highest long term returns on investment. Once the full treatment cycle is complete, most clients no longer need to shave their legs regularly. Sessions take 45 to 60 minutes depending on coverage. From CHF 155 per session.
A practical area for clients who shave or wax regularly and want to stop. The treatment is straightforward, comfortable, and delivers visible reduction from the first sessions. From CHF 125 per session.

After years of dealing with unwanted facial hair, I tried everything including waxing, threading, and IPL treatments, but nothing delivered long term results. The free consultation at CP Praxis was the first time someone explained why those methods were not suitable for my skin and hair type. After 6 sessions on my upper lip and chin, I finally see real results. No more irritation and no more constant maintenance. The investment was absolutely worth it.

I came in skeptical because two other clinics in Basel had turned me away or given me unclear answers about whether laser would work on me. CP Praxis took the time to actually test on a small area first and explain the full plan before I committed. The package discount made it possible to do face, underarms, and legs together. After 8 sessions, I'm 80–90% hair-free. The end is finally in sight, no more endless shaving.

Before booking your free laser consultation, there are a few important things to know. Below, we answer the most common questions from our clients, including the safety, legal, and practical details that matter most in Switzerland.
Yes. Since 2019, Swiss federal law (V-NISSG / V-NISRA) requires that all medical laser treatments be performed only by specialists holding the official Sachkunde certification. The transition period ended in 2024. At CP Praxis, every laser session is performed exclusively by Sachkunde V-NISSG certified specialists. We recommend that any client receiving laser hair removal anywhere in Switzerland asks for proof of this qualification before booking.
Diode laser permanently disables active hair follicles, but hair grows in cycles, meaning only part of the hair is in the active growth phase during each session. For the most lasting results, a full treatment cycle of 8 to 10 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is usually recommended. After completing the cycle, most clients achieve up to 90% permanent hair reduction, with only occasional maintenance sessions needed in some cases.
Most clients describe the sensation as a warm pinch, similar to a rubber band snap against the skin. Our 810 nm diode laser includes an integrated contact cooling system that significantly reduces discomfort during each session. Areas with thinner skin (upper lip, bikini line) tend to be more sensitive than larger areas like the legs or back. No numbing cream is required for the vast majority of clients.
Diode laser cannot effectively treat light blond, red, gray, or white hair because the technology targets melanin pigment within the hair follicle. Treatment is also not recommended during pregnancy, on tattooed areas, on freshly tanned skin, or while taking certain photosensitizing medications such as Roaccutane. During your free consultation, a specialist with Sachkunde V-NISSG / V-NISRA will assess whether diode laser is suitable for your specific case and recommend alternatives if needed.
Most clients need 8 to 10 sessions to complete a full treatment cycle, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin type, hair color and density, hormonal factors, and the treatment area. Smaller areas like the upper lip often need fewer sessions; larger areas like full legs may need the upper range. After your free consultation, you receive a personalized session plan with a clear estimate.
Pricing at CP Praxis ranges from CHF 48 per session (upper lip) to CHF 245 per session (full legs), depending on the area. Most clients save significantly by combining areas (up to 20% discount) or purchasing a session package of 6, 10, or 15 sessions (up to 20% additional discount). The free consultation includes a full cost estimate before you commit to any plan.
