Laser Hair Removal
With Soprano Titanium

Q: What Makes Laser Hair Removal a Smarter Decision? 

Are you suffering from a condition that causes excess hair growth? Simply desire a fresh, smooth look? In both cases choosing laser hair removal can vastly improve your life. How is that possible?
Just think about how much time you’ve spent shaving, waxing and plucking unwanted hair on your body and face. The average amount for people in the US is 1,286 hours during their lifetime! So that is more than 50 whole days in your life you can do more interesting and valuable things with.

Do you remember all of those times when you’ve felt embarrassed wearing a bathing suit because your legs were full of fuzz? Or perhaps you’ve peeked at the mirror before an important meeting and discovered your nose was overflowing with hair? Or noticed your pubic hair was thick enough to require its own grooming regime?

With precise technology available on the laser, you can decide exactly where to be smooth and where you can allow natural growth. Back, legs, chest, underarms, face and bikini – almost any area is treatable. Regardless of your skin type, you can enjoy a safe and proven treatment and enjoy permanent reduction or in other words, smooth skin that lasts!

Q: How Laser Hair Removal Technology Works?

The idea is pulsing the skin with a laser light so that the hair follicle which contains melanin would absorb the delivered energy, heat up drastically until destroyed. It is SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES. The traditional treatment was quite painful, and though much more effective than waxing it did not offer much in terms of patient comfort.
Luckily, over a decade ago Alma has developed the SHR technology which employs an “In-Motion” technique that vastly reduces discomfort during the hair removal treatment to a point it is virtually painless. All of Alma’s Soprano laser devices use this technology which was also adopted by many other brands.

Q: How Many Laser Hair Removal Session Will I Need?

Laser hair removal is a delicate procedure performed on a delicate part of your body (the skin). A practitioner who understands the science behind this technology has better chances at getting you the desired results while avoiding any unnecessary side effects.

You should remember that the normal body hair growth cycle is around 6 weeks. For facial hair it is a bit shorter. Also, it usually takes an average 6-8 sessions total to achieve maximum hair removal results. 

Attention! It is common some areas need extra touch-up sessions, especially facial hair or bikini area. 

Q: How To Prepare For Laser Hair Removal Procedure?

-Tanning. You should avoid tanning beds, and also fake tans for at least 2 weeks prior to hair removal treatment. Tanning products contain high levels of melanin. Though the Soprano laser is considered safe for tanned and darker color skin types we recommend not overwhelming your skin.

-Perfumes. Please refrain from using irritant substances on the treatment area prior to the treatment and after it.

-Waxing, dying, bleaching and threading. Avoid those prior to treatment to improve your chances to achieve permanent hair reduction. Besides, why bother waxing when you are going to your laser appointment?

-Shaving. You should shave prior to treatment. Why is that? Experienced practitioners in leading laser clinics point out that if there is some stubble left the exposed hair tips can make the area heat much quicker. Also, laser clinics practitioners who use the Soprano mostly utilize the “in motion” technique. If the treatment area is not shaved , the sweeping motion of the applicator over the skin might not feel as comfortable as it should.

-Tattoos. These should be covered with tape if they are within the treatment area to avoid burns. (Dark tattoos absorb increased amounts of laser energy due to special dye).

Q: What To Expect During Laser Hair Removal Procedure?​

• Wearing protective glasses. These would be supplied by the practitioner. Make sure to wear these during treatment.

• Pain. Though individuals react differently, the Soprano laser hair removal treatment should be virtually pain-free. Some areas might be a bit more sensitive, however if you feel too much pain you should notify the practitioner. The technician can easily adjust energy levels.

• Treatment time. Your session can take from 10 min. up to a full hour. That depends first on whether you are treating a specific area or several ones. The new hand-piece on the Soprano Titanium laser enables quick coverage of large areas reducing treatment time in half!

• Redness and swelling. The hair follicle might swell and the skin around it might be a little red which is normal and resides within 24 hours.

• Sunscreen. We recommend using a SPF 30/50 sunscreen on the treated area for no less than a week after treatment. That is important in order to protect your skin which will be more sensitive to sun damage. Especially if directly exposed to sunlight for extended amounts of time (mostly in summer).
