Laser Hair Removal in St. Louis

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

The sensation felt during treatment with the new Soprano Xli laser has been likened to a ‘hot stone massage’ whereas other hair removal lasers have been said to feel like ‘a rubber band snapping’ or ‘small shocks.’ Your trained technician runs the Soprano XLi in slow sweeping motions across your skin. Because of the dual chilled cooling head, this treatment usually creates a mild sensation of warm pins and needles rather than one of discomfort or pain. Treatment typically takes around ten to fifteen minutes.

There is less risk of side effects associated with the Soprano Xli because the ‘Gold Standard’ 810-nm diode laser heats the sub-dermal layers first, providing more protection to the dermis, even in darker skins. The system also uses a dual chilled cooling head to further protect the skin.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

With traditional laser hair reduction, a single pulse of high energy is fired at a small area of skin, destroying the hair follicle permanently.

With the Soprano XLi, a laser sweeps smoothly over large areas of skin, destroying the follicles more gradually but leaving skin undamaged.

What Should I Do/Not Do After Treatment?

Pain-free laser hair removal with Soprano XLi means that there is no down time after your treatment and you can return immediately to your day-to-day activities.

When will I see results?

When opting for pain-free laser hair removal with Soprano XLi, some people see instant hair reduction while others may have to wait a few weeks, depending on the hair growth cycle.

How many treatments do I need?

The number of treatments you require varies from person from person but we would typically advise 5 sessions. Occasionally clients may require a few more but we can assess this as you move through your treatment.
