Soprano ICE is the latest generation of the award-winning Soprano laser hair removal system. It is one of the most complete and effective laser hair removal system available today.

Soprano ICE is an advanced hair removal platform that incorporates multiple laser wavelengths and technologies. It offers power and versatility that allows you to treat the widest range of patients and hair types all year round.

Soprano ICE uses Alma Laser’s SHR method, which is a clinically proven method of laser hair removal that is virtually painless. The unique heating and energy delivery method effectively damages the hair follicle while preventing injury and pain to the surrounding tissue. At the same time, integrated ICETM tech cools the skin surface, preventing superficial burns and the sensation of pain.

Absolutely. Soprano ICE’s SHR method has been proven in multiple clinical studies as the safest method of laser hair removal for all skin types. With SHR, hair follicles are damaged not by a single pulse of high energy which can injure the skin, but by repetitive short energy pulses. These pulses produce heat build-up which gradually raises the temperature of the dermis to the level needed for preventing hair growth, while minimizing the risk of burns.

Yes. While the melanin in dark skin is exponentially more sensitive to the heat used in laser treatment, Soprano ICE’s SHR method has been clinically proven to be the safe for dark skin types. Rather than exposing the hair follicle to a single high energy pulse which can cause trauma to skin with a high melanin count, SHR gradually heats the skin until the required heat energy is delivered to the hair follicle. This makes SHR the safest laser hair removal option, including for dark skinned patients.

Yes. Soprano ICE’s SHR method affects the melanin of the skin using a unique method, allowing the procedure to be performed anytime of the year as well as on tanned skin. Furthermore, sun exposure is less traumatic to the skin following SHR treatment.

Treatments with Soprano ICE are easily delegated to clinical staff. The Soprano ICE system is simple to operate featuring a user-friendly interface. Treatments are clean and quick with no disposables.

While Soprano ICE offers the fastest laser hair removal solution available today, the duration of treatment can vary depending on the patient’s skin color, hair type and the area being treated. Treatment time can range from a few seconds for a small area such as above the upper lip, to 8 minutes for the entire back.

This is probably the most popular Soprano ICE FAQ. The answer is – depending on the patient’s skin and hair type, results are typically seen following 6 to 8 treatment sessions.

The hair should be shaved a day before your appointment. Otherwise, the entire hair will absorb the energy and heat up, which can burn the skin, as that singed hair hits the skin. It also means less energy will reach the base of the follicle, so the results will be less than optimal.

• Avoid sunbathing, tanning beds, waxing, chemical peels or collagen injections for two weeks prior to the procedure.
• Do not use perfumes, deodorants or any potential irritants in the treatment area before and after treatment.
• Avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements due to increased risk of bleeding.

Following treatment, patients should expect:

• Some redness and swelling of the hair follicle, which is a normal occurrence.
• Pain and discomfort, which can be easily treated with over-the-counter pain medicines.
• To be given a prescription for a topical antiseptic cream to be applied after treatment.
• An advice to avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week following all laser hair removal procedures.
