The Soprano laser machine is one of the best technologies available in the market. However, it does not mean that the result of the Soprano Ice Laser Hair Removal is permanent. In most cases and areas of the body, to maintain your result of laser hair removal treatment, a minimum annual touch-up is recommended and needed.
During time and to maintain the result that you achieved with your treatment, the touch-up session is needed since throughout the time new hair follicles could get active due to hormonal change, shift in weight, and other factors.

Soprano Ice Laser Hair Removal Procedure
We will assess your skin type and run some tests before scheduling your treatments plan.
We will assess your skin type and run some tests to determine which Soprano Ice Laser Hair Removal option is most suitable. We always aim to provide the best services possible to our valuable clients. In laser hair removal treatment, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.
The new ICE applicator further cools the skin by integrating numerous cooling mechanisms. With one of the lightest applicators available today, Soprano Ice Laser Hair Removal is comfortable and effective. Clinically proven SHR technology and the In-Motion technique moved laser hair removal to the next level. Laser treatments can remove hair from all parts of the body including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and back. Laser Hair Removal reduces the amount of original hair tremendously, slows down the speed of hair growth and the remaining hairs would be thinner and less dense. The amount of hair left after the laser is that even people don’t feel the need for shaving or waxing for them. Getting to this stage by laser is a successful result of laser hair removal.

Soprano Ice Laser vs IPL?
The laser hair removal technology is much more effective and has substantially better results than IPL. Right laser treatment can result in up to 90% hair reduction in 6 to 8 sessions. Lasers technology is far more precise, and it can selectively target hair follicles and leave the surrounding skin undamaged.
Soprano ICE Laser vs Alexandrite (Alex) laser hair removal machine
To get a good result from the hair removal process, three different wavelengths usually to be used based on the skin and hair type. Soprano laser devices utilize the best laser wavelengths for hair removal. The Soprano ICE combines all three major laser wavelengths in one applicator and fires all three wavelengths at once. As the result, it is suitable for all different skin types. This means that the laser clinic does not need to have and maintain three different applicators for different patients. Soprano ice provides virtually painless laser treatments regardless of your skin type. Alex (Alexandrite) has some limitations on light skins and hairs and based on the equipment, it could be painful, so usually cooling is provided with a freezing agent or air.
Does Soprano Ice Laser work on dark skin?
Yes, Soprano Ice is effective on all skin types (I through VI). Soprano Ice is almost pain-free and no numbing cream is required in general. The machine is equipped with a water contact cooling

General FAQ
Have any guestion?
While there are different factors that affect hair regrowth and each body is different from the other, there is not any certain answer to this question. There are some factors that affect Hair regrowth and the number of sessions that you need to receive which are as followed:
Some areas of the body need more sessions. The face is one of them.
The origin amount of hair that you have and the speed of hair growth affect the number of treatments. How much hair you have had originally and how often did you need to shave.
Age is one of the factors that affect the number of treatments that you need to receive.
Hormonal balance is another effective factor.
The texture of hair and skin colors are effective factors in the number of treatments. Darker and thicker hair and lighter skin show faster results.
The result that you want to achieve is another factor. Sometimes people are happy with slight hair reduction which they will need fewer sessions and sometimes people want to achieve the maximum result of laser that they will need more sessions.
There is not any certain number that could be guaranteed to get the result for each person but when you get to 80 to 85% reduction in the original amount of hairs, you have achieved maximum result. This could happen in 6, 8, 10, or… sessions. Do not stop your treatment before getting to this point and from that do touch-ups to maintain the result.
During time and to maintain the result that you achieved with laser, you need to do a touch-up because throughout the time new hair follicles could get active due to hormonal change, shift in weight, and other factors. So, in order to maintain your result, do a minimum annual touch-up for laser hair removal.

Hair growth cycles have a direct effect on how Laser hair removal works. One of the most popular questions is why laser hair removal is not 100% permanent and the answer is in the way that hair grows in our body. First, new hair will start growing at the root and will continue to grow until it reaches its maximum length. It will then shed and finally be replaced by a new hair and the cycle begins all over again. In total, there are three main phases in a hair’s life cycle:
First, new hair will start growing at the root and will continue to grow until it reaches its maximum length. It will then shed and finally be replaced by a new hair and the cycle begins all over again. In total, there are three main phases in a hair’s life cycle:
Anagen Phase (the active growth phase):
This is the active phase of hair growth. Hair has the most melanin and that is why it is the best phase for laser hair removal. This phase will last for several weeks.
Catagen Phase (transitional period):
This is the end of the growth phase. The hair stops growing and the hair follicle separates from the base. This phase will last for 2 weeks.
Telogen Phase (shedding phase):
This is the resting phase of hair growth. The old hair is pushed out by the new hair, and thus the cycle begins. This phase will last a few months and the Anagen phase begins again.
On average at any given time, 85-90% of hair is in the Anagen phase, 1% in the Catagen phase, and 10 to 15% in the Telogen phase. The laser can only target the hair in the Anagen stage and while not all of the hair is in the Anagen phase, that is why we need different sessions for laser hair removal treatment and it is not 100% reduction. At least Six to Nine laser hair removal sessions spread four to six weeks apart are generally required to achieve the results. However, the number of treatments to have the maximum result depends on the body, and part of the treatment would be more!

After laser treatment, your skin is sensitive and it is better to wait for a minimum of 12 hours before taking a shower. However, if you need to take a shower, wait at least 6 hours after your session. Avoid scrubs, exfoliating, any harsh products, loofahs, or sponges on your treatment area.
Yes, you can shave after hair regrowth if needed, but you should not shave right away.
