Laser hair Removal by
Skinfinity Aesthetics

Soprano Ice Platinum & Cynosure Icon are popular laser systems used for various aesthetic treatments, including laser hair removal. They utilize advanced technology to target and remove unwanted hair from different areas of the body.
Laser hair removal involves the use of a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. This light energy converts to heat, damaging the hair follicles and inhibiting their ability to produce new hair.

What’s Our Process?

1. Consultation

Before undergoing the treatment, you will typically have a consultation with a trained professional who will assess your skin type, hair color, and medical history to determine your suitability for laser hair removal.

2. Preparation

In preparation for the treatment, you may be advised to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and certain skincare products for a specified period.

What To Expect?

Sensations

Laser hair removal can cause a slight stinging or snapping sensation, often described as a rubber band being snapped against the skin. However, the discomfort is generally well-tolerated by most individuals.

Treatment Duration

The duration of each laser hair removal session varies depending on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas like the upper lip may take only a few minutes, while larger areas like the back or legs can take up to an hour.

Number of Sessions

Multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and laser treatments are most effective during the active growth phase. Generally, 6 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart are recommended to achieve significant and long-lasting hair reduction.

Post-Treatment Care

After each session, you may experience some temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort in the treated area. Your provider may recommend avoiding sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and certain skincare products for a few days.
