LASER HAIR REMOVAL
PAIN-FREE, HAIR-FREE
Tired of constantly shaving, tweezing or waxing? Laser hair removal is the most quick, effective, and pain-free solution to getting rid of unwanted hair! BeautiDoor Spa uses the Soprano XL, Soprano Ice, Soprano Ice Platinum from Alma Lasers. Alma Laser’s hair removal technology is of the highest quality equipment and is the worlds most advanced laser hair removal treatment available today!
HOW IT WORKS
Laser works when the hair pigment (melanin) absorbs the heat from the laser, which then damages the follicle and inhibits regrowth. Darker hair is easier to treat since the laser targets the hair’s pigment. This is why laser is unable to treat grey, white, blonde or red hair – electrolysis would be a better solution instead.
It takes a minimum of six treatments in to see long-lasting results, and treatments are spaced out a minimum of four weeks apart. Although you require several treatments for long-lasting results, you will see a difference with just one treatment. The reason for the monthly appointments is to ensure you are targeting all hair follicles in each stage of growth. Your medical aesthetician will go through a thorough consultation to ensure you are spacing out your treatments correctly according to several factors, such as health history.
WHY DID BEAUTIDOOR COSMETIC CLINIC CHOOSE THE SOPRANO TECHNOLOGY?
Unlike some commonly used laser technologies in the market, the diode laser is an IN-Motion technology meaning its never on one spot for too long. It gradually heats up the hair follicles as its constantly moving over the treatment area. Most clients say that the treatment feels similar to a hot stone massage.
The great thing about the Soprano lasers is the ICE™ cooling technology, which cools the skin during the treatment. The ICE™ cold sapphire tip minimizes the risk of burns on the skin surface while maintaining heat within the dermis where hair follicles are treated. This increases patient comfort, making treatments more enjoyable than ever before.
Pre-Treatment Protocols
Stop threading, bleaching, plucking, waxing for a minimum of 2-4 weeks prior to beginning any laser treatment. Keep in mind that laser works by targeting the root of the hair, therefore it’s vital to grow out the hair after plucking, threading or waxing and shave 24 hours before your laser appointment.
Shave 24 hours prior to your laser appointment. This is an important step for any body part to ensure a safe and pain-free experience. It allows enough time for unwanted hair to not grow back before the appointment. Shaving well in advance also allows your skin to avoid experiencing any increased sensitivity from the razor such as razor bumps or razor burns.
The area being treated must be cleansed thoroughly on the day of your appointment, but refrain from using deodorant, makeup or any lotions on the areas being treated. This is to ensure the laser is being penetrated well into the skin without any barriers. If mistakenly used, make sure to inform your medical aesthetician so she can take the necessary steps to cleanse the area before beginning the treatment.
Avoid the sun and tanning in order to avoid skin discolouration and increased skin sensitivity post treatment. It is recommended to avoid prolonged, direct sun exposure, self-tanning lotions, as well as tanning beds minimum 2 weeks before any laser hair removal treatment. Sunscreen is highly recommended to use immediately after the treatment and continued use throughout the series of
appointments. Your medical aesthetician at BeautiDoor Cosmetic Clinic can help determine which SPF will be best suited for your skin type.
Medications. There are certain medications that should be avoided before beginning laser hair removal treatments, especially those that cause sun sensitivity (photosensitivity). Many of these include certain acne medications. It is important and highly crucial to inform your medical aesthetician during the consultation process.
These tips will help your treatment go a lot smoother and to work better, and safer. Do not hesitate to ask questions when making your appointment. You are welcome to consult with one of our medical aestheticians in person, or virtually to ensure all your questions are being answered, and that you are fully prepared for your treatment!
