How long do Soprano treatment results last?
Laser hair removal treatments with the Alma Soprano provide outcomes that are long lasting, once the follicle has been damaged.
What Should I Expect During Treatment?
On clean shaven skin a special gel will be applied, which will help keep the skin cool and allow your provider to move the laser device on the treatment area more easily.
Before the actual laser treatment starts, your provider will give you protective eyewear, and will then begin gently moving the laser across the treatment area. It is common to hear a beeping sound during this process, which indicates the laser has been turned on. The duration of the treatment session will depend on the size of the treatment area.
Because of the specialized cooling technology, patients feel virtually no pain or discomfort during the procedure. Of course, this will vary from patient to patient, based on individual sensitivities.
How many Soprano treatments will I need?
The typical laser hair removal patient will need 5-8 treatment sessions, spaced approximately 6-8 weeks apart, to target all of the hair follicles in the treatment area. Multiple treatment sessions are necessary because hair on the body grows in cycles, and while some follicles may be growing hair, others may be in a resting phase. Because the laser targets melanin in the hair, the follicle must be in a growth phase in order to be targeted effectively.
Are there any side effects?
Some patients may experience mild redness or skin sensitivity after the procedure. However, these side effects are typically mild, and do not cause noticeable discomfort.
