FAQs
How does Soprano Ice technology work for laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is based on the principle of “selective photothermolysis”, which means that its objective is to “selectively” heat the hair to destroy it permanently, without damaging the surrounding tissues. Laser energy is absorbed by the hair and the Laser light is transformed into heat. Today, laser hair removal is an effective and safe technique which is aimed at women as well as men, for all locations, for aesthetic or therapeutic purposes (hirsutism, folliculitis, ingrown hairs). Laser hair removal can today treat all phototypes: white, mixed, Asian or black skin. When laser hair removal is performed, a beam of light is applied to the skin. Melanin (source of brown hair color) absorbs this light and transforms it into heat. This intense heat accumulated in the hair destroys it. To be permanently destroyed, the hair must be reached at its root, that is to say at the level of the bulb. Indeed, if the bulb is destroyed, it will no longer be able to give rise to a new hair. In addition, the hair can only be permanently eliminated if it is treated while it is growing. The hair cycle includes 3 phases, which explains the fact that several sessions are necessary to treat the same area as all the hairs do not all grow exactly at the same time.
Is laser hair removal with Soprano Ice painless?
The tolerance threshold may vary from one person to another but in general, a slight tingling sensation may be noticeable on more sensitive areas of the skin. With the SOPRANO ICE LASER we can say that the treatment is almost painless. A forced cold air cooling system is used to cool and protect the skin before, during and after laser treatment. This system therefore allows maximum comfort and rapid recovery time for the client.
What are the contraindications?
It is best not to take medications that promote hair growth or make the skin photosensitive. It is also recommended to avoid UV rays (tanning), as this can cause redness, small crusts and/or oozing. We do not suggest doing laser sessions if a person is pregnant, epileptic or has any health problem. If we are in doubt, we will suggest an initial meeting with your doctor to determine whether or not you are suitable for treatment.
Should we shave the hair between each session?
Unlike waxing where you have to wait for the hair to re-grow completely between each session, you are free to shave the area between treatments but it is important NOT to PULL OUT THE HAIR between sessions. We will also ask you to always shave the area to be treated the day before your appointment.
How many sessions are needed for lasting results?
The number of sessions varies depending on skin type and hair color. We should generally plan 6 to 8 sessions depending on the region to be treated, with one session every 6 weeks for the body areas and every 4 weeks for the face areas.
Is Soprano Ice laser hair removal suitable for all skin types?
Yes, Soprano Ice technology is safe for most skin types, even darker skin tones. Our team assesses your skin type during the consultation to personalize the treatment.
