Before & After Underarm Laser Hair Removal

Why Does Royal Laser Clinic Use Soprano Technology?

Soprano laser hair removal is one of the Alma Group’s top technologies. This new laser hair removal system helps our technicians give customers a painless, comfortable and long-lasting hair removal experience. The Soprano machine is an effective hair removal solution for all skin types, genders, and ages. The Soprano laser uses a continuous-in-motion, pain-free laser hair removal technique. The Soprano uses laser technology to gently produce heat in the pores and stop new hair growth in the hair follicles.

What Should I Expect from a Laser Treatment?

There can be some anxiety as the appointment draws near. To help alleviate those fears, it is a good idea to learn what happens during the treatment. In many cases, knowing what is to come will relieve anxiety, and the treatment can be a comfortable, painless experience.

Laser hair removal treatment typically is done in a sequence of sessions that take place in four to eight-week intervals. There may be three to five appointments scheduled, depending on the area that will be treated and how effective the treatments are. The first appointment consists of a consultation with the laser specialist who will be performing the procedure. At this meeting, the patient will learn what to expect from the treatment and have the opportunity to ask questions about the laser hair removal process.

At the next appointment, the area that will be treated may be shaved, and an anesthetic cream applied. In many cases, a cooling device is attached to the laser to increase the comfort level for the patient. After the procedure, the treated area may be slightly red and swollen. This will go away fairly quickly with gentle cleansing, and a topical ointment can also be provided to ease any discomfort.

Prepare Yourself For Your Laser Treatment

1. Stop tanning at least one month before treatment.

Avoid tanning for at least four to six weeks before your laser treatment. Always wear sunscreen during this period. It is important to avoid the sun is because the sun helps your skin produce melanin. Melanin is what makes your skin change color; it also happens to be what the laser is targeting your unwanted hair. Why? Melanin absorbs the laser energy and converts it into heat. If enough heat is produced, the hair follicle is destroyed. If there is too much melanin in your skin, most of the laser energy will instead be absorbed by it. This means that only the excess heat will be absorbed by your hair, and not enough heat will be produced in the hair follicle to destroy it.

2. Have the treated area of your skin free of cosmetics, creams or lotions.

Please do not wear any moisturizing creams, lotions or cosmetics for your treatment. You should also clean the body part to be treated. If you have used any antiperspirant, please remove it before the treatment.

3. Avoid supplements, and discuss this with your cosmetic specialist before your treatment.

It is important to avoid taking vitamin A supplements, as well as ingesting Beta Carotene. Beta Carotene is usually found in vegetables, such as carrots and squash. The reason why you should avoid Beta Carotene is that it changes your skin color to a subtle orange or yellow, which means that more melanin is produced in the skin. Melanin dilutes the power of the laser energy heating the hair follicle and makes the treatment less effective.

4. Shave the body part you are treating 24 hours before your appointment.

Shave the body part you intend to treat 24 to 48 hours before the going for the treatment, or as directed by your specialist during the pre-procedure discussion or consultation. Remember that laser treatments are more effective on the smooth skin; unlike waxing, longer hair does not improve the treatment results.

5. Wear loose-fitting clothing

On the day of laser hair removal, wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that can conveniently expose the treatment area or can be quickly removed to reveal the part of treatment.

How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?

The length of time for hair removal and the number of treatments will depend on the area being treated, the skin type, hair growth cycles, skin tone, hair coloring and the coarseness of hair. You will definitely need more than one treatment. Normally, five to eight treatments are required for the best results. The sessions are spaced five to six weeks apart (depending on the treatment area and the individual).

NOTE: Please avoid exercise for the first 24 hours after a treatment session. Perspiration can irritate the skin. In addition, please avoid sun exposure for several weeks, and wear sunscreen when you are outdoors.
