Any medical laser treatment can initially seem a bit daunting. However, after learning more about our painless laser hair removal at Silk, you will feel completely comfortable with the procedure.
Is the treatment safe?
Hair removal is one of the most popular, well-known and researched uses of laser in the aesthetic medical field. Silk’s Soprano XL laser has provided permanent hair reduction for thousands of patients worldwide, successfully and safely since it was given the green light by the FDA in 2005.
How many laser treatments will I need?
There are several factors that can affect the success of a course of hair removal treatment, but typically, after each session, you’ll see a permanent and noticeable reduction in the number of hairs that re-grow in the treated area.
Typically, it will usually take 6 sessions to permanently reduce the number of re-growing hairs by more than 80%, six months after the last treatment. Some people require as few as 4 or up to 8 sessions to get the full effect.
Will my hair ever grow back again?
The simple answer is no, the hair will not grow back. Once the hair root is damaged, it is not able to grow new hair. However, there are always a few follicles that partially evade the laser during each treatment session. Some of these follicles may be only weakened and will need to be re-lasered.
Do I need to plan to take time off for the treatments?
Not at all. Our Soprano XL Blue painless laser hair removal requires no recovery or down-time. You can have a laser hair treatment and return to work straight away.
How do I know it won’t hurt?
Treatment with our unique Soprano XL Blue laser is very comfortable. Although pain tolerance varies between people, patients often describe the feeling as quite soothing. If you find your are experiencing any discomfort, please talk with your therapist.
