Frequently Asked Questions
IS HAIR REMOVAL WITH SOPRANO ICE REALLY PAINLESS?
Soprano ICE uses Alma Laser’s SHR method, which is the only clinically proven method of laser hair removal that is virtually painless. The unique heating and energy delivery method effectively damages the hair follicle while preventing injury and pain to the surrounding tissue. At the same time, integrated ICETM tech cools the skin surface, preventing superficial burns and the sensation of pain.
IS HAIR REMOVAL WITH SOPRANO ICE SAFE?
Absolutely. Soprano ICE’s SHR method has been proven in multiple clinical studies as the safest method of laser hair removal for all skin types. With SHR, hair follicles are damaged not by a single pulse of high energy which can injure the skin, but by repetitive short energy pulses. These pulses produce heat build-up which gradually raises the temperature of the dermis to the level needed for preventing hair growth, while minimizing the risk of burns.
IS HAIR REMOVAL WITH SOPRANO ICE SAFE FOR DARK SKIN?
Yes. While the melanin in dark skin is exponentially more sensitive to the heat used in laser treatment, Soprano ICE’s SHR method has been clinically proven to be the safe for dark skin types. Rather than exposing the hair follicle to a single high energy pulse which can cause trauma to skin with a high melanin count, SHR gradually heats the skin until the required heat energy is delivered to the hair follicle. This makes SHR the safest laser hair removal option, including for dark skinned patients.
CAN SOPRANO ICE BE USED IN THE SUMMER AND CAN IT TREAT TANNED SKIN?
Patients should not go out in the sun 3-4 weeks before starting treatment. Treatment on sun kissed skin is not recommended, therefore it is best to not have these treatments done while patients are tan.
HOW LONG ARE TREATMENT SESSIONS WITH SOPRANO ICE?
While Soprano ICE offers the fastest laser hair removal solution available today, the duration of treatment can vary depending on the patient’s skin color, hair type and the area being treated. Treatment time can range from a few seconds for a small area such as above the upper lip, to 8 minutes for the entire back.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO PATIENTS TYPICALLY NEED BEFORE THEY SEE RESULTS
This is probably the most popular Soprano ICE FAQ. The answer is – depending on the patient’s skin and hair type, results are typically seen following 6 to 8 treatment sessions.
