Face it, for most people, getting rid of unwanted hair is a daily drudgery. Alternatives that allow for less shaving are painful, costly, and need to be repeated forever. Waxing, electrolysis, and even hårfjerning med laser are painful and in some cases require topical medication to soothe the pain. hårfjerning med laser works because the laser energy is absorbed by melanin (a pigment) within the hair follicle. Most laser hair removal systems are very painful as the laser energy is applied to the skin. In addition, they only work for very dark, coarse hair and cannot be used on dark skinned patients. The patented Soprano laser system is safe for all skin types, for hair colors, and on any hair types. The system gently and safely heats the targeted areas of hair with pulses of energy that are directed to the hair follicles. The systems cooling mechanism makes the skin comfortable and the process enjoyable. Many patients report that the technique reminds them of a hot rocks massage. Hair usually grows in several stages: Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen. The Catagen and Telogen stages are when the hairs have stopped growing and are resting. The Anagen phase is when the hairs are actively growing. This is the phase when the hårfjerning med laser is effective. Typically, 25% of the hairs treated in a given area are going through their Anagen phase. This means that to hit all the hairs effectively, the patient will need 4-6 treatments. As many patients grow new hairs throughout their life, some may require touch-up treatments two years after they were first treated. All regions of the body can be safely treated. Men who are tired of shaving their heads or beards can have these areas effectively treated. Backs and chests can be treated in 15-20 minutes. Legs, bikini areas, underarms, and private regions can be comfortably treated with the system. Typically a patient will arrive at the med-spa and be greeted by a nurse practitioner or aesthetician. The region to be treated should not have had any active tanning for about four weeks prior to the procedure. If the patient has not shaved the area, this area is then comfortably shaved. A cooling lubricant is then applied to the area. The laser is then individually calibrated for each patient's hair color, hair type and skin type. The laser is then placed on the skin and rubbed back and forth very quickly to transmit energy to the targeted hair follicles without causing any pain or discomfort for the patient. At the conclusion a comfortable moisturizer is applied to the skin.In general, the costs of treating an area are similar to repeated waxings, electrolysis and the expenditures for razors and shaving creams. Most patients will have multiple areas treated in one session and then return in several weeks for their follow-up session.
