Laser treatments provide long-term hair reduction. After completing the sessions, hair will be 80-90% removed. Due to some factors such as medication use, hormone changes, stress and ageing, some hair follicles can be reactivated. This usually leads to soft, thin hair growth. Therefore, maintenance treatments may be needed to maintain results. For areas such as legs, armpits, bikini, lower back and abdomen, results are often permanent, and little maintenance is required.

The number of laser treatments required for optimal results depends on several factors, such as the area to be treated, hair growth, thickness and density of the hair. Generally, 6 to 9 treatments are needed for optimal results. However, it is often quite visible after the first session.

The sensation during the treatment is often described as a rubber band tapping against the skin. Due to the built-in cooling system of the Soprano Ice Platinum, the treatment is very well tolerated.

There are a few key guidelines we recommend to ensure effectiveness and safety:

Apart from shaving, you should not use other hair removal methods such as waxing, tweezing for 4 to 6 weeks before treatment. It is important that the hair follicles remain intact for the laser to treat them effectively.

Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds 2 weeks before treatment. Do use sunscreen in the warm months.

Do not use self-tanning creams to darken the skin.

Make sure the skin is clean on the day of treatment. So no skin care products, creams, skin oils, etc.

For the first 24 hours after laser treatment, avoid all forms of additional heat, such as hot baths, saunas or intense exercise. In addition, it is important to avoid exposure to the sun and tanning beds for at least a week. We also advise against swimming in the first 24 hours, as chemicals in water can cause skin irritation.

We recommend starting laser hair removal from the age of 18. In cases of strong, disruptive hair growth, starting earlier, from 17 years of age, can be considered in some cases, with parental consent.

The time between laser treatments depends on the treatment area and hair growth. For the face, it is on average between 6 to 7 weeks and the body 8 to 10 weeks.

Possible side effects include redness, swelling and mild irritation of the skin, which disappear on their own within a few hours.

Unlike all other laser devices, the Soprano ice Platinum also allows you to perform treatment on sun-tanned skin, safely and effectively.

Shaving between treatments is allowed but often not necessary. Epilation, waxing or waxing are not allowed while the treatment is in progress.

Almost any part of the body can be treated with the laser. The most commonly treated areas are: face, arms, legs, bikini line, armpits, abdomen and back. Please note: laser treatment on tattoos is not allowed!

Not all hair types are eligible for laser hair removal. Light, thin hairs such as blonde, red, light brown and grey cannot be treated. This is because they contain little to no pigment. This is because the laser light is absorbed by the pigment to destroy the hair follicles. If the hairs are thin or light in colour, the laser light is lost and is not effectively absorbed by the hair. Dark, thick hairs, on the other hand, are well suited and are best destroyed with the laser.

Thanks to the innovative laser device, the Soprano Ice Platinum, we have also been able to treat dark and sensitive, thin skin types safely and without side effects for years. On these skin types, laser treatments are just as successful.

No, we do not recommend lasering during pregnancy. 6 months after childbirth, it is possible again. When breastfeeding, we do not treat the armpits.

Yes, we do recommend make an appointment for a no-obligation intake first. During the consultation, you will be properly informed about the treatment and we can assess hair growth. This also allows us to draw up a personalised treatment plan.

The skin may turn red and slight swelling may occur around the hair follicle, but this will subside within minutes.

After the first treatment, you will already see visible results. However, the hairs do not fall out immediately. In the days following the session, they first continue to grow. Within 8 to 10 days, the hairs begin to die off and let go on their own.
