Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is one of the world‘s most popular aesthetic procedures.

While some people may feel a slight discomfort, akin to the snap of a rubber band, it’s generally well-tolerated and far less painful than waxing.
The number of sessions required can vary, typically ranging from 6 to 8 treatments, depending on the area's size and hair growth rate. Each session lasts between 15 to 60 minutes, making it a quick, convenient option even for those with busy schedules.
Say goodbye to the hassle of shaving and waxing, and hello to enduring smoothness with laser hair removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
The procedure involves use of broad-spectrum laser light, which passes through the skin and gets absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This light is specifically designed not to damage the surrounding skin but to selectively target the hair. The heat generated by the light targets only the hair follicle and disables it, therefore eliminating the hair and its potential re-growth to achieve the desired effect.
Who is a candidate for Laser hair Removal?
Who is the ideal candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Anyone with excessive body hair, who is tired of shaving, waxing or having hair in the wrong place is most likely a good candidate for laser hair removal, which includes teenagers and elders. Traditionally, permanent hair reduction has been difficult to achieve on darker skin types, however the Soprano ICE, we can offer this treatment for all skin types and all hair colors.
How many treatments do I need to see results?
Clients will typically need 4-6 treatments (in some cases up to 10) every 4 to 8 weeks depending on the area of concern. Facial, chest and back hair in men is often denser and usually require more treatments. Very light and fine hairs are more stubborn and might need additional treatments to ensure permanent cessation of growth.
During your consultation with your doctor, it’s important to mention any medical conditions. Certain conditions, such as hirsutism (excessive hair growth seen in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) or hormonal changes might need further treatments.
Does the hair grow back?
A laser will only work on the hair follicle in its active growth phase. That particular hair will be permanently destroyed during the session. However, hair that might have been dormant during previous laser hair removal sessions can re-enter a growth phase. This is why multiple treatments are needed until all the hair in a growth phase is removed.
Which body areas can be treated?

When will I see results and how long does botulinum toxin last?
You should begin to see an improvement within 5-7 days and a significant change by the 14th day following treatment.
The effects of botulinum toxin varies from person to person but typically last for three to six months and is often dose dependent. After this time, the muscles will gradually regain their ability to contract and the wrinkles may return. However, after subsequent treatments, wrinkles appear less severe and results can last even longer as the muscles are being trained to relax.
