What is Laser Hair Reduction?

SopranoIce Hair reduction is a type of laser hair reduction treatment that uses advanced laser technology to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body. It is a non-invasive and painless hair reduction technique that targets hair follicles using gentle, yet effective, laser energy.

The SopranoIce Hair reduction system uses a combination of cooling and infrared technologies to deliver safe and comfortable hair reduction results. The cooling technology helps to protect the skin from the heat of the laser, while the infrared technology heats the hair follicles and destroys them, preventing regrowth.

This type of hair reduction treatment can be used on all skin types and is suitable for removing hair from areas such as the face, legs, underarms, bikini area, and back. It is considered to be a highly effective and long-lasting hair reduction solution, with many people experiencing permanent hair reduction after a series of treatments.

Is Laser Hair Reduction right for me?

There are several reasons why you might want to consider using SopranoIce technology for hair reduction:

  1. Painless: The SopranoIce system uses a unique cooling technology that makes the treatment virtually painless, unlike traditional laser hair reduction systems that can be uncomfortable and painful.

  2. Safe: The SopranoIce system is considered safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, as it uses a lower level of laser energy than traditional laser hair reduction systems. This reduces the risk of skin damage or burning.

  3. Effective: The SopranoIce system uses advanced laser technology to target hair follicles, leading to a reduction in hair growth. Many people experience permanent hair reduction after a series of treatments.

  4. Fast: The SopranoIce system has a large treatment area and can cover a wide area quickly, making it a fast and efficient hair reduction option.

  5. Versatile: The SopranoIce system can be used on almost any part of the body, including the face, legs, underarms, bikini area, and back.

Overall, if you're looking for a painless, safe, effective, fast, and versatile hair reduction option, SopranoIce technology might be worth considering. It's important to consult with a licensed and trained professional to determine if this treatment is right for you and to ensure that it is performed safely and effectively.

Your Laser Hair Reduction at ILLUMINATE MED SPA

Before you arrive for your laser hair reduction treatment, you’ll be given detailed instructions on how to prepare for your appointment. You should shave prior to the procedure but abstain from waxing, plucking or depilatories to ensure the hair follicle is intact. This makes it easier for the laser to target unwanted hair and helps to maximize the safety and effectiveness of your treatment for optimal results. You should avoid all sun exposure for a least 1 week before and after your treatment. We recommend to all patients to limit sun exposure and to always wear sun-protective clothing and sunscreen when out in the sun or in vehicles.

On the day of your appointment, you’ll arrive at the office to review your treatment plan with your specialist. Next, areas that will be targeted by the laser will be cleansed and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort. Both you and the laser specialist will then put on safety glasses to protect your eyes from any harmful light emitted by the laser. Once you’re ready to begin, a handheld device will deliver pulses of laser energy into your hair follicles, each burst lasting just a few micro-seconds to vaporize the hair bulb. You may feel some discomfort as the laser works to eliminate unwanted hair, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated, with most patients comparing the sensation to a rubber band slightly snapping on the skin. The laser can target several hairs at once to reduce the duration of your procedure, but the length of your session will vary depending on the size and scope of the areas being treated. The arms and legs may take an hour or more to complete, while smaller areas such as the chin or upper lip may only take a few minutes.

What happens after Laser Hair Reduction?

After your treatment, you may notice some redness, swelling or irritation in treated areas. This is completely normal and will subside over the next few days without a lasting impact. To help reduce any discomfort or inflammation you may experience, our specialists may recommend that you apply a steroid cream or ice and provide you with detailed after instructions. In the weeks following your appointment, you will be more susceptible to sun exposure and need to avoid the sun for a week and to apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen and UV protective hats and clothing to protect your skin at all times. Aside from these precautions, you’ll be able to resume all normal activities after your treatment with little to no downtime or recovery.

What kind of results can I expect from Laser Hair Reduction?

You’ll notice an immediate reduction in unwanted hair after your first laser hair reduction treatment, but more permanent results will take time to develop. Treated hairs will gradually shed in the weeks after your appointment and new growth will dramatically slow, but hair growth occurs in stages and will require a series of four to six treatments for an optimal outcome. After each appointment, your hair will come back thinner and finer until new growth ceases, permanently reducing unwanted hair by 80 to 90 percent. Touch-up treatments can help keep treated areas soft and smooth for years by quickly eliminating any new growth that may occur over time.
