Clients respond differently to a treatment. In general, it takes about 6-12 treatments for complete hair removal. Clients usually see a 75%-90% reduction in unwanted hairs about half-way through treatment. Factors that influence the amount of treatments clients need include the hairs’ color and texture and the area being treated. Dark hair usually responds better to treatment.
Our Soprano laser can treat any area of the body where hair is present. The most common areas for treatment include the legs, underarms, bikini line, upper lip and chin for women and the back, chest and arms for men.
Yes, when administered by expert providers, laser hair removal with the Alma Soprano is a safe procedure. Most patients experience no significant discomfort and only feel a warming sensation on the skin, as the device is passed across the treatment area. This is in large part due to special cooling technology built into this hair removal laser, which makes the treatment comfortable and prevents damage to healthy tissues.
Laser hair removal works effectively for people who have pigmented hair. It is not suitable for people with blonde, grey or white hairs as they lack the pigmentation required to make this treatment effective.
Laser hair removal treatments with the Alma Soprano provide outcomes that are long lasting, once the follicle has been damaged.
When you arrive for your treatment ultrasound gel will be applied to the clean-shaved skin, which will help keep the skin cool and allow your provider to move the laser device on the treatment area more easily. Before the actual laser treatment begins, your provider will provide you with protective eyewear, and will then begin gently moving the laser across the treatment area. During your appointment, it is common to feel a slight sensation similar to that of an elastic band being lightly flicked on the skin.
Some patients may experience mild redness or skin sensitivity after the procedure. However, these side effects are typically mild, and do not cause noticeable discomfort.
