FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions: Soprano ICE Platinum Laser Hair Removal
1. What is Soprano ICE Platinum?
Soprano ICE Platinum is an advanced laser hair removal device that combines three laser wavelengths (Alexandrite, Diode, and Nd:YAG) into a single applicator. It is designed for safe, effective, and virtually pain-free hair removal on all skin types and tones.
2. Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as virtually painless. Thanks to its ICE™ cooling technology and gradual heating method (SHR™), you may feel a warming sensation but minimal discomfort.
3. Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes. Soprano ICE Platinum is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to be safe and effective on all skin types, including tanned and darker skin tones.
4. How many sessions will I need?
Most clients require between 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area, hair type, and individual hair growth cycles. Some maintenance sessions may be recommended annually.
5. How long does each session take?
Session time varies based on the treatment area. Small areas like the upper lip can take just 5–10 minutes, while larger areas like the back or legs may take 30–45 minutes.
6. Is there any downtime after treatment?
No. There is no recovery time needed. You can return to normal activities immediately. Slight redness or warmth may appear for a few hours but usually subsides quickly.
7. What areas of the body can be treated?
Common treatment areas include the face, underarms, arms, legs, chest, back, bikini line, and neck. It’s also effective for smaller areas like ears, nostrils, and glabella (between the eyebrows).
8. How should I prepare for my session?
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and waxing for 2–4 weeks before treatment. Shave the area 12–24 hours prior to your appointment. Clean, product-free skin is ideal for treatment.
9. What should I avoid after treatment?
Avoid direct sun exposure, saunas, and hot showers for at least 24–48 hours. Always apply sunscreen to treated areas when outdoors.
10. Is it permanent?
The Soprano ICE Platinum offers long-term hair reduction, with many clients seeing up to 90% permanent reduction after a full treatment course. Maintenance sessions may be needed annually.
11. Can I get treated if I have light or fine hair?
While laser hair removal is most effective on darker hair, the Soprano ICE Platinum’s triple-wavelength system improves results on finer or lighter hair compared to older technologies.
12. Who should not get laser hair removal?
Pregnant women and individuals with certain medical conditions, active infections, or photosensitive disorders may not be suitable candidates. A consultation is required to assess eligibility.
