The Q-Switch laser works at a wavelength of 1064 nm meaning that it is shorter than other hair-removal lasers. Compared to a continuous laser beam, the Q-switch laser emits quick, intense pulses of condensed light energy to target the hair follicles. When this energy is absorbed the pigment in the hair follicles, it is converted into heat which damages the hair follicle & halts future hair growth. Q-Switch laser can effectively treat a wide range of skin types & hair colors.
Aside from hair removal, Q-switch also helps remove dark spots, freckles, wrinkles, and tattoos from the skin as well as improve skin tone and texture.
Candela Alexandrite
Alexandrite laser emits a powerful light beam of wavelength 755nm. The high energy wavelength emitted by the laser is converted to heat energy which damages the target area (hair follicle). The Alexandrite laser a highly versatile laser, well-suited for people with fair skin and dark hair because its wavelength is easily absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles.
Alexandrite laser removes hair permanently, and provides the best results in the armpits, arms, groin region, and the legs. Compared to other hair removal lasers, it has a high repetition rate which makes treatment sessions quick and efficient. It can treat large body areas like the back or legs in a relatively short time.
IPL
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light technology and is technically not a laser treatment. A broad spectrum of light with many wavelengths is used, leading to unfocused energy around the hair area. Light energy is absorbed by the dark pigment of the hair, turned into heat energy, damaging the growing cells that make up the hair after which the hair begins to shed. The hair will stop growing altogether with continued IPL hair removal treatment.
Soprano ICE Platinum combines the benefits of three lasers, Alexandrite, Diode, and Nd:YAG, into one – to target hair follicles effectively and provide optimal results for a wide range of skin types and hair colors.
The Soprano ICE Platinum laser is virtually painless and keeps the skin cool during treatment making the procedure very comfortable for the patient. It works on all skin types, including darker and tanned skin, which were traditionally more challenging to treat with laser hair removal. Its large spot size and fast repetition rate provide comprehensive coverage and quick treatment sessions for larger areas of the body.
The different wavelengths of the three lasers penetrate different depths of the skin simultaneously and target hair follicles on multiple levels. Soprano ICE Platinum laser is a well-established and trusted laser system that is known worldwide for its safety, effectiveness, and high patient satisfaction rates.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal works by destroying the hair follicles to permanently reduce hair growth. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light, which is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and converted into heat, damaging the hair follicle. This prevents future hair growth while keeping the surrounding skin safe.
When will the results be visible?
Following each treatment, the hair remains visible as the follicle is the part that has been damaged by the laser, not the hair shaft. The hair will eventually fall out in the next few weeks as it is pushed out of the hair shaft. A 10 – 25% reduction in hair can be expected after the first treatment. Typically, up to 80% clearance is expected after 6-8 sessions, and additional sessions are suggested as needed to maintain the results.
How long do the effects of laser hair removal last?
For many people, laser hair removal removes unwanted hair near-permanently. Most people remain hair-free for months, or even years! Some see a significant reduction in the thickness of hair that may grow over time. However, laser hair removal is not permanent as many external factors can stimulate hair growth such as stress and hormonal fluctuations etc.
What are the areas that can be treated with laser hair removal?
Unwanted hair from any part of the body can be safely eliminated by laser hair removal, due to the high precision of the treatment. Here are the body parts from which hair can be easily removed by laser hair removal:
- Face – chin, jaw, side burns, cheeks, ears, eyebrows, nose
- Upper body – hands, arms, under arms, abdomen, chest, shoulders, back
- Lower body – feet, legs, buttocks, bikini area
How do I prepare for the treatment?
You should ensure that the treatment area is freshly shaved i.e., shave a day or 2 before your appointment. However, avoid plucking, hair removing creams or waxing the hair as these methods remove the hair follicles, which are the target for the laser.
Aftercare instructions for laser hair removal treatment:
- Avoid plucking or waxing any hair on the treated area as it can possibly stimulate the hair follicle, leading to regrowth.
- Avoid body scrubs, deodorants and lotions with perfumes on areas that have undergone treatment to avoid irritation.
- Avoid hot showers/baths and steam rooms for at least 48 hours after the treatment.
- Avoid direct sunlight and getting tanned after your treatment since your skin will be sensitive after laser hair removal. If time is spent outdoors, make sure to apply sunblock with an SPF of at least 40.
- Avoid scratching on treated areas as it can break the skin, causing a scab which can lead to scarring.
What are the possible side effects of laser hair removal?
Minor side effects of laser hair removal treatment are common. They include mild swelling, temporary pigment changes and slight redness of the skin. However, you should contact your doctor immediately if you experience burns, blisters, scars, skin discoloration, swelling that doesn’t subside after 3 days, infections and pain that can’t be relieved with medication.
