No more ingrown hairs or nasty shaving marks
The ingrown hairs are significantly softer and finer and grow in noticeably less or not at all.

Great and visible results after the 1st treatment
Already after the first treatment a significantly slower hair growth and a noticeable hair reduction can be noticed.

No problems for tanned skins
With this method, permanent hair removal is possible with little contrast between skin and hair colour.
Pre-treatment care
![](https://www.atelier-sandgold.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Artboard.png)
Shave
The areas to be treated must be shaved the last time 1-2 days before the treatment so that short hair stubble can be visible.
![](https://www.atelier-sandgold.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Artboard-Copy.png)
No epilation
The hair must still have its root to be successfully sclerosed. Avoid waxing, sugaring, depilatory cream, epilating and tweezing, etc. for 6 weeks before the treatment.
![](https://www.atelier-sandgold.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Artboard-Copy-2.png)
Clean skin
Immediately before the treatment, the areas of skin to be treated should be free of oil, creams or other beauty products. A superficial cleansing can be done in the studio before the treatment.
![](https://www.atelier-sandgold.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Artboard-Copy-3.png)
Sunbathing
Avoid sunbathing for 2-3 days before the treatment. Reddened skin or skin burned by the sun cannot be treated with the laser and the treatment must be postponed.
Hair removal procedure
First consultation
During your individual first consultation we discuss the procedure of laser hair removal and ensure that the treatment is safe and effective for you.
Treatment
The body area to be treated is cleaned and coated with a cooling ultrasound gel. This gel keeps the skin cool during the treatment and optimizes the gliding of the handpiece over the skin to enable a pleasant treatment.
Protection
Laser safety goggles provided in the studio MUST be worn to protect the eyes. Our clients receive only the highest quality protective glasses from the companies laservision and formatk. After each client, the goggles are cleaned with disinfectant intended for this purpose.
Method
The treatment is performed with the High End SPARK PRO diode laser by the company formatk. It is the best choice when it comes to efficient and permanent hair removal. Read more about the procedure under Theory & Technique.
After the treatment
After the treatment, everyday life can be continued without problems. Desirable indications such as possible perifollicular (surrounding the hair) edema (water retention) or erythema (redness) usually disappear after a few minutes to 2-3 days.
Sun
Sunbathing and solarium visits should be avoided 2-3 days after the treatment to avoid possible skin irritations.
After the treatment

During the first 14 days
After 10-14 days the hair sclerosed at the root falls out.
![](https://www.atelier-sandgold.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Artboard-Copy-9.png)
After two weeks
There shouldn’t be noticeable hair growth for 1-2 weeks and no shaving should be necessary during this time.
![](https://www.atelier-sandgold.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Artboard-Copy-10.png)
Next treatment
Once the usual hair growth has returned it is time for the next treatment. Depending on the treated area this is between 4-12 weeks.
Theory and technique
![](https://www.atelier-sandgold.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Artboard-Copy-6.png)
The principle of laser hair removal
A diode laser is the best choice when it comes to permanent and efficient hair removal from thick black to dark blond hair.
The aim of epilation with light is to damage the hair papilla and its nutrient supply so that it permanently stops the hair growth. At 60°-70° C the hair root’s protein structures are denatured and the follicle’s finest supply channels (cappilaries) as well as the cells responsible for hair growth (stem cells) are destroyed.
Light of 400 to 1000 nm wavelength permeates the skin. Only color pigments (melanin and hemoglobin) absorb the light energy of these wavelengths and convert it into heat (selective photothermolysis). Melanin is formed in the hair follicle and is concentrated there. Therefore, it is possible to selectively heat the hair follicle with a very short but high-energy light pulse without affecting the surrounding skin tissue.
A treatment with IPL (especially IPL SHR), IPL home devices and other low power diodes can be problematic because the hair follicle is often not completely heated and therefore not destroyed, but only damaged. Sometimes the follicle regenerates completely or becomes only weaker. As a result, after some time the hair grows back normally, thinner or lighter.
The SPARK PRO diode laser by the company formatk is one of the most powerful lasers for permanent hair removal. The laser is clinically tested, has the highest level of certifications (FDA approval, Medical CE) and meets all the important criteria for an effective and safe treatment. You can rely on science and clinically proven results.
Light pulse technology
The light pulse technology on which laser epilation is based depends on your own hair growth cycle.
This growth cycle is divided into three phases which are always repeated. Only hairs in the active growth phase can be sclerosed and thereby destroyed in the long term. The hair cycle is asynchronous, which means that only about 15-20% of the hairs are in the desired active growth phase at the same time.
Hairs that are in the transitional or resting phase cannot be destroyed. This is why the treatment is repeated several times. On average, 6-10 treatments can be expected at intervals of about 4-12 weeks. The more often an area is treated, the longer the intervals between the treatments.
Achieving 100% hair removal can never be guaranteed or promised. Regardless of the treatment method, some individual hairs will always remain. However, these are usually very fine, light, and barely noticeable.
Hair removal for light-colored hair using light-based epilation (light pulse technology such as diode laser and IPL) is always a delicate matter. Since light-colored hair contains less or no melanin (the pigment), less heat is generated in the follicle, often resulting in damage rather than destruction. Light-colored hair is usually more successfully treated with IPL. It’s important to note that a powerful IPL device is necessary to achieve good results. At Atelier Sandgold, we have been offering high-quality IPL treatments since March 2024.
Another method for removing light, red, gray, or white hair is electrolysis. This method is more time-consuming but highly effective and is a good option when laser treatments cannot work due to the lack of melanin. This method can also be used to remove hair over tattoos, as laser treatments should not be performed directly on tattooed skin. Starting from September 2024, we will offer this method at atelier sandgold.
We recommend scheduling a consultation to determine the best method for you and how we can best assist you. If desired, there is no objection to having a first session. However, if there are no visible results after the initial session, it might be wiser to save your money and consider other options 😉

Transition phase

Resting phase
In general, one speaks of long-term and permanent hair removal. “Long-term“ refers to a certain period of time, while „permanent“ should leave you hairless. This is important to know because after a successful treatment, so-called „sleeper hairs“ can always come back. Everyone has these kinds of hairs and their growth can be activated at any time by the hormonal cycle, which is related to the hair cycle. In case of a hormonal change it is normal that hairs can come back again. In order to get rid of these hairs as well, one should expect 1-2 follow-up treatments per year to maintain the desired result.

Lash & Brow Lifting
![Artboard Copy 3](https://www.atelier-sandgold.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Artboard-Copy-3.png)
What is a lash and brow lifting?
A lash lift, also known as lash lifting, is a more natural alternative to traditional eyelash extensions or the constant use of mascara. Brow lifting offers a natural alternative to microblading or permanent makeup.
During a lash lift, the lashes are lifted and fixed in a curled position, then tinted to create the appearance of longer lashes. Brow lifting similarly volumizes and shapes the eyebrows naturally, creating a glamorous look and making the eyes appear more open and awake.
The effects of lash and brow lifting typically last between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on individual lash or brow growth and the current phase of the hair growth cycle.
Lash lifting is suitable for anyone seeking optimal lash curvature without the use of artificial extensions, lash curlers, or mascara. Brow lifting is also suitable for those desiring naturally voluminous and glamorous eyebrows.
Before the lash or brow lifting procedure, the desired lift effect is discussed, and silicone pads of appropriate sizes (used only in lash lifting) are chosen to achieve the desired result. These pads help lift the lashes upward, making them appear longer. For brow lifting, similar products are used to comb and fix eyebrow hairs into the desired shape, resulting in a polished look where the eyebrows also appear fuller. This lifting effect on the eyebrows opens up the eyes and makes them appear more awake.
Tinting the lashes further enhances the lifting effect, so lash tinting is often recommended during a lash lifting treatment. Similarly, tinting the eyebrows is a good way to accentuate the results of brow lifting. With a subsequent double care step (vitamins and keratin oil), the structure of your eyelashes and eyebrows is revitalized. This care strengthens and adds shine to your lashes and brows.
For maintaining healthy lashes and eyebrows, we highly recommend using the right products at home. We are happy to provide you with personalized product recommendations.
To ensure that the lifted effect lasts as long as possible, please avoid using waterproof eye makeup (mascara, eyebrow pencil, etc.) and styling products without nourishing properties (such as eyebrow gel). Plucking, pulling, twisting, or rubbing your eyelashes or eyebrows will ruin the beautiful results.
Our lash and brow lifting products come from renowned brands like InLei, MyLamination, Augenmanufaktur, and Noemi, and all are allergy-tested. However, in rare cases, allergic reactions may still occur.

Thursday 12:00 – 20:00
Friday 07:00-20:00
by appointment only
appointments can be booked online here on the website:
or
by WhatsApp message to
0677/62529589
You have the option to schedule a free initial consultation or combine it with the first treatment. If the free initial consultation is not canceled in a timely manner, the same cancellation conditions as for a paid appointment will apply, as the time was still reserved for this appointment.
A treatment is NOT possible if:
– You are ill (fever, etc.)
– There is an open wound in the area to be treated
– The skin in the area to be treated is very sensitive or damaged.
– You are pregnant or breastfeeding (only with medical approval)
– The treatment area includes a tattoo
– For further contraindications, please refer to the previous listing on this website
1. Preparation:
Avoid extensive/intense sunbathing for 7 days before the treatment. Skin that is red or sunburned cannot be treated, and the appointment must be rescheduled in time.
Please shave the area to be treated thoroughly 1-2 days before the appointment. There should be about 1 mm short stubble visible. If more days are needed for short stubble to appear, please plan accordingly between the last shave and the laser appointment.
If not all booked areas are to be treated, you must inform us at least 24 hours before the appointment. Omitting certain areas during the appointment still incurs the full cost as the slot was reserved for all areas.
2. Aftercare:
You can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment without special precautions. Sweating from activities such as sports or sauna is not a problem and is allowed.
You can shave the treated area immediately, but it is recommended to wait until the day after the treatment to be gentle on the skin. Avoid using very greasy creams directly on the treated area. Pure Aloe Vera gels and highly moisturizing lotions are ideal for skin regeneration.
For a week after the treatment, avoid sunbathing and tanning beds to prevent skin irritation. If sun exposure is unavoidable (e.g., vacation), apply SPF 50 to the treated area to ensure proper protection. However, avoid prolonged sun exposure.
3. Cancellation:
If you cannot make your appointment, please inform us at least 24 hours in advance. Otherwise, a cancellation fee will be charged. Exceptions are only made for acute illness with a medical certificate.
4. Payment:
Payment can be made in cash or via on-site transfer. We do not have a card reader, so if you prefer not to pay in cash, please ensure you can transfer funds using your phone while at the studio.
5. Punctuality:
We ask all clients to arrive at the studio as punctually as possible, but not significantly before the appointment, ideally no more than 10 minutes early. If you are more than 10 minutes late, the appointment may not be completed in full, but the full fee will still be charged.
6. Location:
Please check our website, Instagram, or Google for a view of the studio’s exterior to avoid confusion on arrival. The studio is located at Grieskai 42, directly by the Mur River and next to door number 40.
7. Hygiene:
Please sanitize your hands with the provided sanitizer upon entering. If you feel slightly unwell, we ask you to use one of the masks provided.
with warm regards, and we look forward to seeing you,
the atelier sandgold team in Graz✨
