Laser Hair Removal

At Health & Aesthetics, we typically recommend between 6-8 treatments however this depends on your skin and hair type. After the treatment course is complete, we recommend patients have a 6 monthly maintenance session to prevent any new hair growth.

Staying out of the sun and using a high-quality SPF is essential for those undertaking Soprano ICE Platinum. This reduces the risk of pigmentation. Avoid heat treatments for 5 days after the treatment to prevent any damage to the skin.

The average person will see an approximate 50% reduction in hair growth after three laser hair removal treatments and up to an 80% lasting reduction after six to eight treatments.

However, results vary between individuals.
After you have completed a series of six to eight treatments any remaining hair will usually be finer in texture and lighter in colour. Most patients will then require one or two maintenance treatments per year.

Hair removal is one of the aesthetic medical industry’s most well-known and best researched laser treatments. The Soprano ICE Platinum laser is safe, successful and approved by the FDA.

The short answer is no. Once we damaged the hair follicle, it cannot grow new hair. However, there will inevitably be a few hair follicles that manage to escape the laser during each treatment. We suggest periodic, occasional maintenance treatments for optimal long-lasting results.

It is essential to use a broad spectrum SPF after any laser treatment to reduce the risk of pigmentation. This is available for the body with ColoreScience products and ZO Skin Health by Dr Zein Obagi.
