Laser Hair Removal for Different Skin & Hair Types

Everyone’s different, and sometimes it can be impossible to know how our bodies will react to certain treatments. Especially with dermatology treatments that involve hair and skin, it is normal to be unsure.

We often get asked about the risks involved with laser hair removal for different skin and hair types. So, in this article, we’ll be clearing up any confusion on the topic. Overall, laser hair removal is an extremely inclusive treatment that can be available for any skin pigmentation and hair type.

Does Laser Hair Removal work on all skin complexions?

Yes, our laser hair treatment works on any skin complexion!

At our clinic in Southampton, we use the Soprano ICE machine which makes this treatment inclusive of all complexions. It used to be common that old-technology laser treatments would impact melanin in the skin to achieve the same permanent results. We only use industry-leading technology, that that targets the hair at the follicle, providing precise, comfortable and safe results for our clients.

Although the hairs that are targeted will grow back lighter after each session, our lasers have no impact on the pigmentation of your skin.

Does Laser Hair Removal work on all types of hair?

Traditionally, laser hair treatment has been ideal for darker and more coarse hair. However, as technology has advanced, laser hair removal has also become suitable for fair and lighter hair. The Soprano ICE machine targets breaking down the follicle as opposed to the melanin pigment of the hair.

This treatment is just as safe for people with fair or blonde hair as it is for those with dark and coarse hair.

What machine do you use for Laser Hair Removal?

Our hair removal treatment is pain-free and will leave you with permanent hair removal after a series of sessions.

We use the Soprano Ice Platinum© machine. This laser device is FDA-approved, and CE-marked, so know you’re receiving the highest quality treatments using the best technology. Traditional hair removal methods such as shaving, tweezing and waxing only tackle the hair on the surface of the skin.

The 3 wavelengths in 1 of the Soprano Ice Platinum penetrate the root and destroy the hair follicle. After 6-8 sessions, you can achieve permanent results.
