How laser hair removal works
The laser’s light targets the colour (melanin) in the hair and turns into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle, which slows down hair growth.
Hair grows in three phases: growing (anagen), resting and shedding. The laser works best on hairs in the growing phase, so several sessions are needed to treat every hair at the right time, followed by occasional maintenance.
Our laser: Alma Soprano ICE

We use the Alma Soprano ICE by Alma Lasers, a diode laser with SHR technology.
Instead of a few strong pulses, SHR delivers many low-energy pulses at a high repetition rate while the applicator glides over the skin (the In-Motion technique). Heat builds up gradually in the hair follicle, so the treatment is more comfortable for most clients. Its ICE cooling keeps the surface of the skin cool during the session.
According to Alma Lasers, the Soprano ICE is FDA cleared for all skin types (I–VI), including tanned skin.

Who it’s for
Laser hair removal can treat hair anywhere on the body and works on all skin types. Many clients choose it to stop regular shaving or waxing.
It can also help with excessive hair growth, such as hirsutism (hair on the upper lip, chin, jawline or lower stomach) or hypertrichosis (more hair than usual).
Results are best on light skin with dark hair. Darker skin or lighter hair may need more sessions.

Risks and safety
Laser hair removal is widely used and trusted, but like any cosmetic laser treatment it has possible side effects. We reduce them by choosing the right settings for your skin and hair.
- Skin sensitivity: redness or irritation that usually fades within a few hours.
- Burns: a small risk, reduced with the right laser settings and technique.
- Pigment changes: more likely on darker skin, usually temporary.
- Scarring: a minimal risk, as with any cosmetic laser procedure.
Results vary from person to person. Your treatment plan is confirmed at your consultation.

Frequently asked questions
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients see lasting results after 6–12 sessions. Many see an 80–95% reduction in hair. Results vary from person to person. The exact number depends on your hair type, with maintenance sessions about once a year.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It gives a large, long-lasting reduction in hair. When the follicle is destroyed, the hair does not grow back; when it is only damaged, some hair can regrow, which is why maintenance sessions may be needed.
Does skin or hair colour make a difference?
Our Alma Soprano ICE is cleared for all skin types (I–VI), including tanned skin. It works best on dark hair; lighter hair may need more sessions.
How long does a session take?
It depends on the area: about 10–15 seconds for the upper lip, around 5 minutes for the underarms and about 30 minutes for full arms.
Is there any downtime?
No. You can leave right after your session. Some redness or bumps may appear and usually settle within a day.
