LASER HAIR REDUCTION

Laser hair removal is the most popular aesthetic procedure performed annually. The SopranoTM treatment has provided safe and effective permanent hair reduction for thousands of patients worldwide. Because SopranoTM utilises IN-MOTIONTM and low-heat settings we’re able to provide a level of safety unlike any other laser hair removal procedure.

Typically, 6 to 8 sessions and additional treatments (top up sessions) are recommended every 6 to 12 months to keep any dormant hairs at bay. The number of sessions will be different from person to person with a minimum of 6 treatments being required.

Actively growing hairs that are treated should not grow back. Once a hair follicle is damaged it cannot grow hair. It is not unusual for patients to have a top up session once every 6 to 12 months, depending on hair type.

Hair growth occurs in four stages: Early Anagen (early hair growth), Anagen (active hair growth), Catagen (regression) and Telogen (resting, not growing). Laser hair removal only affects the Anagen stage, (actively growing hair). Therefore, approximately 25 percent of hair is removed with each treatment. After 6 to 8 treatments, the area should be free from hair. Additional top up sessions are recommended every 6 to 12 months to keep any dormant hairs at bay.

No. SopranoTM has no “down time” and requires no recovery time. You can have a treatment and return to work or other normal activities immediately.

Don’t wax or pluck the hair in the treatment area for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment. No sun exposure, fake tan or sunbeds for 4 weeks prior to treatment. Do not use retinols, AHAs or any active ingredients at least 3 days prior to your treatment.

Avoid sun exposure and if this is impossible wear a factor 50 sunblock. Avoid excessive exercise for 24 hours following your treatment. Avoid hot baths, hot showers or hot tubs for 48 hours post treatment. Avoid use of retinols, AHAs or any active ingredients for 3 days post treatment. If any changes occur you’re not sure of please contact the clinic.

Most people find the Soprano laser hair removal treatment comfortable, especially when compared with other hair removal methods and lasers. This is one of few laser hair removal procedures where numbing cream is not necessary.
