Are you tired of shaving and waxing all the time? If so, you might have thought about undergoing laser hair removal. It can be a great way to save time on your usual beauty routine! What should you know about laser hair removal with the Soprano Ice laser? This beginner’s guide provides some basic information.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Lasers work by targeting melanin in your hair. The laser energy travels down the hair shaft and generates heat, which then damages the hair follicle so it can no longer produce hair.
In the past, old-fashioned laser systems were only effective for light-colored skin with darker hair. Now, though, thanks to advancements in technology, the Soprano Ice laser can be effective for virtually all skin tones and hair types.
The Process
You should not wax or tweeze before your appointment; the roots of your hair should be present in order for the laser to do its job. During your session, you will wear special glasses to protect your eyes from the laser, and you will get to relax while a technician applies the laser to the areas you wish to target.
You might have heard that laser hair removal is painful, like having a rubber band snapped against the skin. The Soprano Ice laser is not like that. In fact, many people describe it as feeling like a warm massage.
You might have to attend several sessions in order to achieve optimal results. This is due to the fact that different hairs have varying growth cycles.
Aftercare
No downtime is required after a laser session. In fact, you should be able to dive right back into your usual routine. However, you may need to be extra-gentle with your skin for a while. For example, you may need to avoid exfoliating skincare products and avoid sun exposure for a few days. You should also avoid other hair removal methods; instead, let your hair shed gradually.
Results
The Soprano Ice laser can provide permanent hair reduction! However, there may be a bit of regrowth over time due to things like changes in your hormones or follicles that got missed during your initial sessions. Periodic touch-ups can help to keep your skin smooth and hair-free for many years.
