Unwanted hair from excessive or inappropriate hair growth may appear for a variety of reasons. This can cause immense distress and can have effects on self-esteem. Methods such as shaving, waxing, chemical removal and electrolysis all have significant limitation and are not always appropriate or effective.
The most recent innovation is the use of laser technology, which provides a more effective alternative. At Visage we use SOPRANO Pain-free Hair-free laser system. The laser we have chosen has been approved by laser specialists, and doctors for its safety and effectiveness. This revolutionary laser hair removal procedure is virtually painless. Its uses non-invasive laser energy to gradually heat hair follicles until they can no longer produce new hair.
To most people laser hair removal is a very new concept and to help you understand we will explain how it works and how it works in the clinic environment.
We have put together a few of the most frequently asked questions about the process, the answers to which will help you to understand the science and highlight how visage SOPRANO treatment works.
How it works
Using carefully controlled pulses of laser light, the Soprano Diode Laser System’s proprietary IN-Motion technology selectively and gradually heats the hair follicles within the dermal layer of skin. The heat is limited to just the area of the follicle and eventually damages the cells that would otherwise reproduce new hair. Surrounding tissue remains healthy.
With pain-free, Hair-free, the laser hand piece is constant motion, so a much wider area can be treated more quickly and easily than with earlier lasers. In addition, a patented Dual Chill mechanism ensures the surface of your skin stays cool and comfortable throughout your treatment.
It is the pigment in the hairs themselves that converts the laser energy into heat necessary for the permanent hair reduction. So it follows that the less pigment there is, the less effective the pain-Free, Hair-Free procedure.
