Overall, the concept of using lasers for hair removal is relatively simple. A beam of laser is concentrated to the pigment of the hair follicle, and the heat produced destroys the hair at the root.
Laser hair removal is most effective on actively growing hair. Over a staggered series of treatments, virtually all of the hair growth in a treated area can be halted.
Keeping up with the latest in laser technology, Maine Laser Skin Care has converted both our offices in Augusta and Scarborough to the Soprano ICE, which is considered to be the elite laser hair removal system. From Alma Lasers, this system combines an innovative Super Hair Removal (SHR) with in-motion technology to provide faster and smoother results with minimal discomfort.
The Platinum ICE device uses 3 distinct wavelengths of laser energy affecting deeper follicles while also being safe for all skin types, including tanned skin. It can also be used on all body parts with 80-90% hair reduction after an average of 6 sessions.
Plus, unlike other hair removal lasers, the Soprano ICE handpiece itself contains a cooling mechanism that reduces the temperature of the treated area immediately after the heat of the laser has done its work. Thanks to this cooling addition, the time and mess of numbing creams are now no longer necessary for almost all areas.
If you are in the Augusta or Scarborough areas and have unwanted body hair in any area of your body, you may be an excellent candidate for Soprano Platinum ICE.
