    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much capital do I need to open a laser studio?

    With 0% financing via alixwork.de, many founders start with €5,000–€15,000 in equity for room equipment, marketing, and deposits. The device itself can be fully financed.

    Do I need training to offer laser treatments?

    Yes. In Germany, the NiSV certificate of competence has been mandatory for commercial laser and IPL treatments since 2021. We provide certified training partners, and the Alix Academy complements device-specific application.

    How quickly is a laser studio profitable?

    With a realistic 15–20 treatments per week at €100–€150, studios typically reach break-even after 8–14 months. Our ROI calculator provides exact figures.

    Which diode laser is suitable for starting out?

    For beginners, we recommend a combination device with standard wavelengths (755/808/1064 nm) and sapphire cooling. We can advise you specifically in a 15-minute call.
