What To Expect

Laser hair removal offers an efficient solution for eliminating unwanted hair by targeting and disabling hair follicles at the root - without damaging the surrounding skin - reducing further hair growth.

• Advanced Alma Soprano Ice technology utilizes a precise diode laser beam that selectively targets melanin in the hair shaft, transforming laser energy into heat that damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth
• Dual-wavelength capability combines the powerful absorption benefits of Alexandrite wavelength with comprehensive treatment coverage, enabling practitioners to treat the widest range of skin and hair types quickly and comfortably year-round
• IN-Motion SHR technique with gradual heating and high-frequency pulse delivery allows constant movement of the applicator over the skin for fast, safe hair removal, with strong cooling that enables effective treatment for all skin types
• ICE technology cooling system continuously cools the skin with a cooled tip that minimizes epidermal risks while maintaining therapeutic heat within the dermis where hair follicles are treated, creating a virtually painless experience often described as a "hot stone massage" sensation

With each treatment, clients will see a noticeable decrease in hair growth, unveiling skin that's smoother, clearer, and more radiant!

FAQs

What makes the Alma Soprano Ice different from traditional laser hair removal systems?

The Alma Soprano Ice features revolutionary dual-wavelength technology that combines Alexandrite and diode laser wavelengths, enabling practitioners to treat the widest range of skin and hair types comfortably year-round. Unlike traditional systems that use single high-energy pulses, the Soprano Ice uses SHR (Super Hair Removal) technology with gradual heating through repetitive low-energy pulses at high frequency, which leaves the epidermis intact while effectively warming the dermis to damage hair follicles—resulting in a virtually painless experience.

How does the ICE cooling technology make treatments comfortable?

The Alma Soprano Ice's integrated ICE technology features a cooled sapphire tip that continuously cools the skin's surface throughout treatment, minimizing epidermal risks and preventing superficial burns. This advanced cooling system maintains therapeutic heat within the dermis where hair follicles are treated while keeping the surface comfortable, creating a sensation that clients often describe as similar to a relaxing hot stone massage rather than the painful snapping associated with older laser technologies.

How many treatment sessions are needed to achieve optimal results?

Most clients require between 5-8 treatment sessions spaced approximately 6-8 weeks apart to achieve optimal hair reduction results. Multiple sessions are necessary because hair grows in cycles—while some follicles may be actively growing hair, others are in a resting phase. Treating during different growth phases ensures all hair follicles are targeted effectively. Clients typically notice significant hair reduction after just a few sessions, with long-term, nearly permanent results after completing the full treatment series.

Is the Alma Soprano Ice safe for all skin types and tones?

Yes, the Alma Soprano Ice is FDA-cleared for all skin types I-VI, including darker skin tones and tanned skin, making it safe to use year-round. Many earlier laser technologies could cause skin discoloration, especially in clients with darker complexions. However, the unique dual-wavelength technology and SHR method behind the Alma Soprano Ice ensure treatments are safe and effective across all skin types without risk of discoloration or damage to surrounding tissue.

What should clients expect during and after their laser hair removal session?

During treatment, clients wear protective eyewear while the practitioner moves the Alma Soprano Ice applicator over the treatment area using the IN-Motion technique. The cooling sensation from the device ensures comfort throughout the session, which typically lasts between 5-45 minutes depending on the area size. Post-treatment, some temporary redness or mild swelling may occur but typically dissipates within 48 hours. Clients should avoid hot showers and sun exposure immediately after treatment and wear sunscreen daily during the treatment series.
