Laser Hair Removal

Highly Effective Results with Minimal Discomfort

Laser Hair Removal with Alma Soprano XLi ICE: Safe, Comfortable and Effective


If you're tired of regular shaving, waxing, or dealing with painful ingrown hairs, laser hair removal offers a long-term solution. At our clinic, we use the Alma Soprano XLi with ICE technology, an advanced system that delivers highly effective results with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

​

Whether you’re looking to treat facial hair, underarms, legs, bikini area or back, this state-of-the-art technology makes laser hair removal more accessible and comfortable than ever before.

​

What Is the Alma Soprano XLi with ICE Technology?


The Alma Soprano XLi is a medical-grade diode laser system used to reduce and permanently remove unwanted hair. It features Soprano ICE technology, which delivers energy gradually using a technique called SHR (Super Hair Removal). This makes the treatment virtually pain-free, even in sensitive areas.

​

Key features include:

​

  • Continuous contact cooling handpiece (ICE) for a soothing experience

  • Gradual heating for maximum comfort and safety

  • Safe for all skin tones, including darker or tanned skin

  • Suitable for all hair types except very fine, white or grey hairs

  • Can treat both large areas (legs, back) and small areas (face, underarms, bikini) quickly and effectively

​

How Does It Work?


The laser emits gentle pulses of energy that target the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle, gradually heating and destroying it without damaging the surrounding skin. Unlike older laser systems that use a single high-energy pulse, the Alma Soprano XLi delivers repetitive low-energy pulses, significantly reducing discomfort while still being highly effective.

​

This approach also reduces the risk of burns or skin irritation, making it ideal for a broader range of skin tones and even for treating tanned skin safely.

​

Who Is Laser Hair Removal Suitable For?


Thanks to its advanced SHR and ICE technology, the Alma Soprano XLi is suitable for:

​

  • All skin tones, including Fitzpatrick skin types I to VI

  • Men and women

  • Clients with coarse or dark hair (laser works best on pigmented hair)

  • Those prone to ingrown hairs, shaving irritation, or folliculitis

  • Anyone seeking a long-term reduction in unwanted hair growth

​

Please note: white, grey or very light blonde hairs may not respond to laser and may be better suited to electrolysis for permanent removal.

​

What Are the Benefits?

​​​

  • Virtually pain-free: Many clients describe the sensation as a warm massage

  • Quick treatments: Large areas can be completed in under 30 minutes

  • No downtime: You can return to your usual activities immediately

  • Long-term savings: No more razors, waxing appointments, or depilatory creams

  • Smoother skin: Helps reduce ingrown hairs and razor bumps

  • Boosts confidence: Enjoy lasting results and smoother skin year-round

​

What Areas Can Be Treated?


The Alma Soprano XLi can treat almost any area of the body, including:

​

  • Face: upper lip, chin, jawline, cheeks

  • Underarms

  • Arms and legs

  • Bikini and Brazilian areas

  • Chest and abdomen

  • Back and shoulders

  • Neck and beard line (for shaping and reducing irritation)

​

What to Expect During Treatment


Before your treatment, we’ll conduct a full consultation to assess your skin and hair type and create a personalised plan. During the session:

​

  • The area will be cleansed, and a cooling gel applied

  • The handpiece glides over the treatment area while emitting pulses of light

  • Most clients experience little to no discomfort, thanks to the ICE cooling tip

  • Treatment times vary from 15 minutes for small areas to 60 minutes for full-body sessions

​

A course of 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically required for best results. Maintenance sessions may be recommended once or twice a year depending on hormonal factors and hair type.

​

Is It Really Permanent?


Laser hair removal offers permanent hair reduction, not complete hair removal for everyone. After a full course, most clients experience a 70–90% reduction in hair growth, with remaining hairs growing finer and lighter. Hormonal changes (e.g., PCOS, menopause) may influence regrowth patterns.

​

Safety and Suitability


The Alma Soprano XLi is CE and FDA-approved and is widely recognised for its excellent safety profile. Unlike older lasers, it is less dependent on skin type and has a much lower risk of pigmentation changes when operated by trained professionals.
