What is Soprano Ice Laser Platinum’s Benefit?
One of the key advantages of the Soprano Ice Laser is its ability to treat a larger area in less time. The In-Motion™ technology allows for continuous sweeping motions over the skin, ensuring full coverage and quick treatment sessions. This makes it suitable for treating larger body areas such as the legs, back, and chest.
The Soprano Ice Laser Platinum is also known for its versatility. It can be used on various skin types, including tanned or darker skin, which can be challenging for some other laser systems. This is made possible by the advanced cooling technology integrated into the device, which helps protect the surrounding skin while targeting the hair follicles.
It’s worth noting that while the Soprano Ice Laser is highly regarded for its effectiveness and patient comfort, individual results can vary depending on factors such as hair color, thickness, and hormonal influences. It is always recommended to consult with a trained and experienced medical professional or technician who can assess your specific situation and determine the most suitable treatment approach.
How does Soprano Ice Laser Platinum work?
The Soprano Ice Laser works on the principle of selective photothermolysis to achieve hair removal. It targets the hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface, disrupting their growth while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin.
Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how the Soprano Ice Laser typically works:
Consultation: Before the treatment, a consultation with a trained professional is conducted to assess your skin type, hair color, medical history, and determine the suitability of the treatment. They will explain the procedure, address any concerns, and provide pre-treatment instructions.
Preparation: On the day of the treatment, the area to be treated is prepared by cleansing and shaving the hair. Shaving is necessary to ensure that the laser energy is focused on the hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface rather than the visible hair shaft.
Application of Cooling Gel: A cooling gel or gel-based lotion may be applied to the treatment area to protect the outer layer of the skin and enhance patient comfort during the procedure.
Laser Parameters: The Soprano Ice Laser system is set to specific parameters based on your skin and hair characteristics. These parameters determine the appropriate laser wavelength, pulse duration, and energy levels for optimal results.
Targeting the Hair Follicles: The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin pigment present in the hair follicles. The absorbed energy heats up the follicles, damaging them and inhibiting their ability to regrow hair. The gradual heating approach of the Soprano Ice Laser ensures that the energy reaches the targeted follicles while minimizing discomfort or damage to the surrounding skin.
Cooling System: The Soprano Ice Laser features an advanced cooling system, which may involve a cooled sapphire tip or integrated cooling technology. This cooling mechanism helps protect the upper layers of the skin and enhances patient comfort during the treatment.
Repeat Treatments: Hair grows in cycles, and not all hair follicles are in the active growth phase (anagen) at the same time. Multiple treatment sessions are typically required to target hair follicles in different growth phases. The exact number of sessions needed depends on factors such as hair color, thickness, and the treatment area.
Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, the treated area may appear slightly red or have a mild sunburn-like sensation, but these effects usually subside within a few hours. It is important to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by the practitioner, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using sunscreen, and refraining from activities that may irritate the treated area.
