Laser permanent hair removal
Who are we talking to?
With permanent hair removal services, we cater to women and men who want to eliminate excess hair.
Facial waxing is used to remove hair on the cheekbones, upper lip or chin (for women) and on the chin and ear flap (for men). We use state-of-the-art laser technology to make the treatment safe and gentle. The laser specifically targets hair follicles, is skin-friendly and provides long-lasting results that restore your confidence and satisfaction.
For women, permanent body hair removal is a skin care method with multiple benefits: significant time savings compared to other hair removal methods, but also the avoidance and treatment of skin health problems such as folliculitis.
In the case of men, pain-free permanent laser hair removal is recommended for sportsmen and women, as well as for people who suffer from excessive hairiness in unwanted areas (armpits, neck, back, etc.) and for those who want to eliminate the burning sensation often experienced after shaving.

What is laser? What types of lasers are there?
Laser hair removal involves the process of removing hairs by exposing them to pulses of laser light that target the hair follicle. This irreversibly destroys the hair follicles to a significant extent. The mechanism of action is a specific wavelength for melanin, the pigment that determines the colour of hair and skin, with absorption at the bulb (root) of the hair and significant destruction. Laser hair removal started with IPL, a non-selective wavelength with limited absorption on the hair follicle, but laser treatments have innovated this treatment. The diode laser is the most widely used, the ideal wavelengths are Alexandrite 755 nm, Diode 810 nm and YAG 1064 nm, with absorption in the dermis and epidermis to destroy as many hair follicles as possible and protect the superficial layer of the epidermis.
Is there a difference between IPL and laser?
The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) laser has both melanin and haemoglobin as target chromophores, with a non-selective wavelength of 500-1000 nm and absorption in dermal hair follicles, but also in the epidermis, with the risk of adverse effects. The laser treatments are adapted to the depth of the hair follicles to destroy the vast majority of them, with limited absorption in the epidermis and minimal risk of adverse reactions, and can also be used for tanned skin and light-coloured hair.
Which patients can benefit from this treatment?
Anyone can perform this treatment to remove unwanted hair. There are also medical indications such as folliculitis, associated with classical epilation techniques, or medical conditions such as hypertrichosis (the presence of excess hair) or hirsutism (the presence of male-pattern hair for the female sex, in areas where it does not normally exist, such as facial hair).
What types of skin or hair can we work with?
Soprano is effective for all skin phototypes (including tanned/dark skin) and all hair types (including thin, blonde hair).
When do we act on hair follicles? Hair growth phases
Hair growth is a cyclical process, alternating between resting and active phases. At the same point in time, hairs are in different stages of growth.
The first phase - the anagen phase - is a period of rapid hair growth. During this period, the hair forms and migrates outwards until it forms permanently. During the anagen phase, hair grows by 1 cm per month. The longer this phase lasts, the more hair will grow. Approximately 85-90% of scalp hairs are in the anagen phase at any one time.
The second phase - the catagen phase - lasts for 2 weeks, during which time the hair follicle shrinks due to disintegration and the papillae decrease in size. While the hair does not grow in this phase, the length of the terminal hairs increases due to the follicle pushing them up.
The last phase is the telogen or resting phase. The hair follicle remains dormant for one to four months. 10-15% of scalp hairs are in this growth phase at any given time. This phase results in normal hair loss.
How many sessions do we need to remove the pilosity and what is the frequency of the sessions?
The TRIO technology incorporated in the SOPRANO applicator guarantees the destruction of more than 95% of hair follicles, a result proven by histology studies. For large areas (such as lower limbs or arms), a frequency of 6-8 weeks between sessions is recommended, and for small areas (facial or underarm), a period of 4-6 weeks. On average, 6-8 sessions per treatment area are recommended, with maintenance every 6-12 months.
Is this procedure definitive?
Yes, hair follicles are irreversibly destroyed by more than 95%, but over the years new hair follicles may appear and maintenance sessions are required every 6 months-1 year.
How long does the procedure take?
The QUATRO technology is patented by Alma Laser and is the only laser with a 4 cm² applicator that considerably reduces working time, especially for large areas such as the lower limbs. Whereas before this procedure took 60-90 minutes, now the time is halved and the patient has to spend 30-40 minutes in the office. For small areas, the time is between 10-20 minutes. After optimising efficiency by combining the three most effective wavelengths, the working time has now also been optimised and halved.
Is there a risk of burns associated with these procedures?
No. Because Soprano's cutting-edge Titanium/Platinum technology, the patented ICE Plus™ minimizes the risk of burning at the skin's surface, while retaining heat in the dermis, where we target hair follicles. At the same time, the end we work with cools the surface of the skin, prevents superficial burns and soreness
Is there a risk of skin cancer, what about moles? What other risks are there for our skin?
Melanocytic lesions should initially be visualized with the dermatoscope and then covered during treatment. The risk of transformation of the lesions only arises when the treated skin suffers post-treatment burns. Side-effects are rare, with erythema, irritation or pigmentation changes being the most common.
