Faqs

Soprano Ice Titanium hair removal systems are virtually pain-free. During treatment, you may experience a gentle warming sensation in the area being treated with some clients feeling a mild pins and needles sensation.

Yes. Even if you have had laser hair removal elsewhere, it is 100% necessary to patch test before a laser hair removal treatment. The procedure allows us to check that your skin is suitable for laser hair removal and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

To ensure no adverse reactions occur, general inspection of your skin will take place and then a small patch of each body area you would like to treat will be exposed to the laser light. This provides us with the opportunity to tailor the machine’s settings to your skin type, and ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible.

Soprano Ice Titanium systems are suitable for all skin tones. They emit 3 different laser light wavelengths which means they target the widest possible range of hair colours and densities. As lasers target the brown melanin pigment within hair, ginger, pale blonde, white or grey hair will not be affected by laser hair removal treatments.  Various medications and medical conditions are a barrier to treatment. Prior to your first appointment you will be sent a medical form to complete. This will be checked the day prior to your appointment and potentially save a wasted journey if there are any concerns.

A minimum of 6 to 8 treatments are recommended to achieve optimum results with some stronger hair growth areas such as the face and private area possibly needing more treatments.

Facial laser hair treatments should be every 4 weeks for the first 4 treatments then every 4-6 weeks thereafter. Body laser hair removal treatments are performed every 6 weeks for the first 4 treatments then every 6-8 weeks after that.

The Soprano Ice Titanium systems are some of the safest lasers on the market. Rather than delivering all the laser energy in individual high energy, painful shots offered by traditional laser systems, the applicator is passed back and forth over the area to be treated as it flashes on and off 10 times a second at a lower energy.

This allows the necessary heat to build up over a few seconds which when compared to traditional shots based systems, is virtually pain free. After treatment in rare cases, you may experience mild redness or slight sensitivity. Aloe Vera gel is excellent to calm and soothe the skin.

Apart from shaving, avoid any other hair removal methods such as waxing, threading or hair removal creams for 4-6 weeks prior to treatment, the hair needs to be present to be affected by the laser, if hair has been pulled out, the laser will have nothing to affect.

Avoid sun exposure for 1 week and sunbeds or any kind of fake tan for 2 weeks prior to treatment. You should thoroughly shave areas to be treated or patch tested around 8 hours before your visit. Skin must be hair and stubble free for the laser to be operated safely.

For 48 hours after the laser treatment avoid any additional heat such as hot baths or showers, saunas, steam rooms or vigorous exercise. Avoid sun exposure for 1 week after treatment and avoid sunbeds throughout your treatment course. Avoid swimming for about 48 hours as the chemicals in the water may cause skin irritation.

The vast majority of patients will see around a 60-90% long term reduction in hair from a course of 6 treatments. More treatments will usually result in more hair reduction.

Our highly trained Soprano Laser specialists recommend face treatments every 4 weeks and body treatments every 6 weeks initially. As the course progresses and hair growth slows down, later treatments may be more widely spaced.

Laser hair removal treatments can last anything from 10 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the area(s) being treated.

We use Soprano laser hair removal lasers. These are class 4 medical lasers which are some of the safest and least painful systems on the market. We pre-screen all patients for any medication or medical condition that might make the treatment more risky.

A patch test is carried out prior to all treatments. Our laser specialists are fully trained and highly experienced in the operation of our lasers. We continually invest in staff training to ensure we maintain our multi-award winning service. Our first priority is your safety.

Soprano ICE lasers feature a sapphire cooling tip to rapidly cool the skin during treatment, ensuring client comfort and safety while targeting heat to the structures that actually create hair.

This type of cooling is by far the most efficient method of protecting the skin compared to the cryogen or cooled air systems used on other types of lasers.
