Those with a light or medium complexion usually require 6-12 treatments to achieve up to 90% permanent hair reduction, and those with darker skin usually require 2 more treatments. However, you will see great results after the first treatment. Fine hairs require more treatments than thick hair. You may need a maintenance session 1-2 times a year following these treatments.

Treatments are required on the face every 4-6 weeks. Treatments on any other part of the body are required every 6-8 weeks.

Laser hair removal is very effective with results being seen after 1 session. Hairs will detach from the follicle 1-2 weeks after each session and shed 2-3 weeks after each session. Any hair regrowth will be slow and thin between sessions. After completing all of your sessions, you should achieve approximately 90% permanent hair reduction.

No. Successfully treated hairs will not grow back. However, you must be consistent with your appointments to target all of your hair follicles effectively. This is because the hair growth cycle lasts approximately 6 weeks and laser hair removal can only kill hair in the anagen (growth) phase. Only a certain percentage of hair is in this phase at any given time. Therefore, treatments are required every 4-6 weeks on the face (since hair grows faster on the face) and every 6-8 weeks on other parts of the body to eliminate new hairs each treatment.

Absolutely not. Shaving does not make hair grow back thicker, but the blunt tip caused by shaving can give the appearance that hair is growing back thicker.

Ultrasound gel helps the laser handpiece glide across your skin.

IPL is not laser. IPL devices don't penetrate as deep as lasers because they target the skin and hair equally, whereas lasers mostly just target hair. IPL devices are ineffective for hair removal on dark skin and cannot be used on the darkest skin type at all. They pose a higher risk for burns than laser and are more painful than laser. IPL machines look like laser hair removal machines, so please be careful.

Laser hair removal with the Soprano ICE laser hair removal system is virtually painless. Instead of exposing hair follicles to a single high energy pulse, the Super Hair Removal mode in the Soprano ICE allows for gradual heating of the hair follicles until the required energy is delivered. This minimizes pain. Gradually heating the hair follicles also allows more energy to accumulate than any other laser hair removal machine, making the Soprano ICE the most effective laser hair removal system on the market.

Shaving before laser hair removal ensures that the laser energy is not wasted on hair that can be seen above the skin. Unshaved hair will burn and fall onto the skin, potentially burning the skin. Shaving 24 hours before your appointment also gives your skin enough time to heal in case you cut yourself.
