Soprano Laser Hair Removal for Women and Men
at dermalclinic® Edinburgh

Laser hair removal is the fastest growing procedure in cosmetic dermatology. Most commonly women choose to remove unwanted hair from their chins, upper lip moustache, face, bikini line, underarm or legs, and men most commonly choose to remove hair from their chest and back areas.

The Soprano advanced laser system is replacing unpleasant, time-consuming hair removal methods like waxing, electrolysis, or IPL by gently removing hair without causing irritation and minimising the chance of scarring and pigmentation changes.

The Soprano Laser quickly and effectively treats multiple hair follicles at once with no down time, enabling patients to resume their activities immediately after treatment. Best of all, this non-invasive, effective approach yields permanent hair reduction and long-term hair removal.

The Soprano Laser parameters are specifically designed to match your skin and hair type, assuring exceptionally precise and gentle treatments. Immediately after treatment, the area may appear and feel mildly sunburned, a reaction that will subside within 24 to 48 hours.

While pain tolerance is an individual matter, most people tolerate laser treatment well. In particular the Soprano 'In-Motion' treatment enables the Soprano to be customised to the client's tolerance ensuring advantages that other treatments cannot provide.

While the Soprano Laser is able to cover relatively large areas at high speed, the exact time is determined by the size of the area being treated. The upper lip and underarms may only take 15 minutes however legs and larger areas may take up to half an hour. Full consultations and skin patch tests are given prior to any laser hair treatment.

Women and men of all skin colours and most hair colours have been successfully treated. For best results, laser hair removal treatments are customised according to skin colour, hair texture and body site.

All hair follicles go through periods of dormancy and growth. As laser light only affects hair follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment, resting follicles must enter the growth phase before they can effectively be treated. For this reason, treatment must be repeated until all hair follicles have passed through the growing phase. Clinical studies have shown that it is recommended to have typically 5 or more treatments at intervals of between one to three months.
