The Soprano Laser Hair Removal procedure is an effective, efficient, and virtually painless method of removing unwanted hair from various body areas. This section outlines the step-by-step process of a typical Soprano Laser Hair Removal session, providing insight into what patients can expect during their treatment.
Initial Consultation and Skin Assessment
Before the procedure, the patient meets with the practitioner for an initial consultation.
The practitioner assesses the patient's skin type, hair colour, and medical history, and discusses the patient's hair removal goals.
This assessment helps create a personalised treatment plan tailored to the patient's specific needs.
If you are happy to proceed the practitioner will also carry out a patch test on a small section of the area you want treated. This helps the practitioner assess the correct treatment settings and also helps you understand what the treatment will feel like before commencing the whole area.
Preparing the Treatment Area
The patient arrives at the treatment session with the treatment area clean, shaved, and free from any lotions, creams, or makeup including deodorant. Most clinics will wipe the area clean prior to treatment as well.
Once the area is clean, the practitioner may mark out the area and cover any areas that shouldn’t be lasered such as moles, tattoos, birthmarks etc.
They will then apply a cool ultrasound gel to the treatment area to enhance patient comfort and help the applicator glide across the skin.
Wearing Protective Eyewear
Both the patient and the practitioner wear protective eyewear to shield their eyes from the laser light during the procedure. If you are having areas on the face treated you will have to wear blackout goggles so will not be able to see anything during the treatment.
Application of the Soprano Device
Once ready the practitioner will start gliding the Soprano Laser Hair Removal applicator across the skin.
The tip of the Soprano applicator is -4 degrees to ensure it cools the skin as it passes.
The practitioner will usually do a few passes of cold before starting to deliver energy.
The device then emits laser energy in quick, repetitive, gentle pulses through the skin's surface down the hair shaft to the hair bulb.
IN-Motion™ Technology
The Soprano device utilises IN-Motion™ technology, which gradually heats the follicle while continuously cooling to the skin's surface during treatment.
This gradual heating and continuous cooling feature minimises discomfort and ensures the skin remains comfortable throughout the session.
Targeting Hair Follicles
The laser energy targets the melanin in the hair follicles, which absorbs the light and converts it into heat.
This heat damages the hair follicles, impairing their ability to produce new hair.
The practitioner must manage to generate enough heat in the follicle to ensure it is damaged.
Gradual Heating Process
Soprano's gradual heating process prevents discomfort or burns by targeting the hair follicles while keeping the surrounding skin at a safe temperature.
The energy reaches the hair root without affecting the nearby tissues, ensuring minimal risk of adverse effects.
The gradual heating and use of 3 different laser depths is the reason Soprano can be used on all skin types including tanned and fake tanned skin.
Moving Across the Treatment Area
The practitioner glides the Soprano device across the treatment area in a systematic manner.
The device's IN-Motion™ technology allows for smooth and continuous movement, ensuring uniform coverage.
Duration of the Procedure
The duration of the Soprano Laser Hair Removal procedure depends on the size of the treatment area and your skin type.
Smaller areas like the upper lip and underarms take just a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs may take up to 30 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care
Once the treatment is complete, the practitioner may apply a soothing gel or lotion to the treated area.
Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on the treated area to protect the skin during the healing process.
Follow-Up Sessions
For optimal results, patients require multiple Laser Hair Removal sessions.
These sessions are spaced several weeks apart to target hair in different growth cycles.
The Soprano Laser Hair Removal procedure offers a comfortable and effective hair removal experience for patients seeking long-lasting results. With its advanced technology, customisation, and emphasis on patient comfort, Soprano has become a leading choice for individuals looking to achieve smooth, hair-free skin in various body areas.
