How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. The laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle, which absorbs the light and destroys the hair at its root without damaging the surrounding skin.
During the procedure, a handheld device is placed on the skin and emits a laser beam that heats up the hair follicle. This heat damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth. The laser used at VIVIS Luxe Laser is the Soprano Titanium, the latest addition to the Soprano laser family by Alma lasers. This laser is renowned for it’s comfort. The laser glides over the skin and gradually heats up, which is in contrast to many other lasers the market which employ a shot method of firing lasers with an elastic band snapping sensation. Client comfort is most definitely at the heart of laser hair removal at VIVIS Luxe Laser.
The Soprano Titanium combines three laser wavelengths, alexandrite, diode and Nd:Yag. This means that all skin types from white to black can be treated safely, comfortably and effectively. In fact Soprano lasers are one of the few lasers that has FDA clearance to treat tanned skin.
Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results, as hair grows in cycles and the laser only targets hair in the active growth phase. The number of sessions required varies depending on the individual and the area being treated. Typically we expect to see strong results with an 85% permanent reduction in hair after 8 sessions. the sessions are spaced 6-8 weeks apart for the body and 4 weeks for the face.
Overall, laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to permanently reduce unwanted hair growth. However, it is important to have the procedure performed by an experienced professional to minimise the risk of complications.
