Why laser
- Quick: even a large area is covered in a short time
- Precise: it targets only the problem area, so the surrounding skin is not damaged
- More effective than depilatory creams and electrolysis
- Reaches any part of the body: face, arms and underarms, legs and bikini line, back and shoulders, chest and abdomen
Our laser: Soprano ICE
We use the Soprano ICE, an FDA-cleared laser. Our laser hair removal equipment is imported from the USA and Israel and USFDA-approved for safety and effectiveness.
The procedure
A consultation with the dermatologist comes first: the procedure, what to expect and how many sessions you will need.
The area is shaved and a cooling gel is applied.
The dermatologist sets the laser at the right wavelength for your skin and hair, and treats the area.
After a session
Some people see mild, short-lived redness on the treated area straight after the procedure; it usually settles in about half an hour.
- Avoid heat (sauna, steam room, hot showers and baths, swimming) for a day or two.
- Avoid heavy cosmetics, greasy lotions, deodorant and perfume for a day.
- Use sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours, and 20 minutes before you step outdoors.
Between sessions
Hair may shed 15 to 45 days after a session. This is not new growth but dead hair leaving the follicle. You can shave as often as you like, but avoid waxing, tweezing, threading and bleaching, which interfere with the laser. Your next session is planned 30 to 45 days later, depending on regrowth.
