Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses focused light energy to target and destroy hair follicles. The laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, which is then converted into heat, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth.

Alma’s SHR hair removal method uses groudbreaking technology to offer a simple, one-stop solution for truly efective hair removal. SHR’s unique gradual heating method effectively damages the hair follicles while avoiding injury to the surrounding skin. The sweeping In-motionTM delivery technique keeps the laser in constant motion ensuring full coverage.

Of course! We use the Soprano ICE laser machine. Soprano ICE features Alma’s unique AlexTM Technology which combines the high absorption benefits of the Alexandrite 755nm wavelength with the treatment coverage, comfort and low maintenace of the diode laser. Advanced ICETM technology cools the skin during treatment for longer periods f time, minimizing the risk of burns while maintaining heat within the dermis where hair follicles are treated. The result is a cutting-edge hair removal solution that delivers superir results for all skin types, including dar skin. This is the most complete and effective hair removal system available to date.

While laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, it doesn't guarantee permanent removal. Most people experience a substantial decrease in hair density and thickness. Some hairs may regrow over time, but they are often finer and lighter in color. Maintenance treatments can help keep the skin smooth.

Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any area of the body where unwanted hair is a concern. Common areas include the legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, back, chest, and face, except for the eyelid or surrounding area.

Although laser hair removal has traditionally been most effective on individuals with dark hair and light skin, advances in technology have made it possible to treat a wider range of skin and hair types, including dark skin.

The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment area, hair density, hair color, skin type, and the cycle of hair growth. Typically, clients require between 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

Discomfort levels vary from person to person and depend on the treatment area. Many describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Modern laser systems often include cooling devices to minimize discomfort.

•Immediately after your treatment, redness & bumps are normal

•Wash area gently with a mild soap, pat dry

•No makeup & lotion/moisturizer/deodorant for the first 24 hours.

•Within 5-30 days after the treatment dead hairs will shed

•5-30 days after treatment exfoliate

•Avoid the sun

•Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin

The duration of each session depends on the size of the area being treated. Small areas like the upper lip can take a few minutes, while larger areas like the back or legs may take up to an hour.

Yes, shaving is allowed between treatment sessions because it does not remove the hair from the follicle. In fact, shaving is often recommended over other hair removal methods that might disturb the hair follicle, like waxing or plucking.
