What is Soprano ICE Titanium™?
Soprano ICE Titanium™ is a breakthrough hair removal platform that combines ultimate functionality with unparalleled comfort. This premium laser system is the market leading method of effectively banishing hair without the pain of traditional laser hair removal systems.
The new Titanium has the same triple laser wavelength diode system as the Soprano ICE Platinum for fantastic results on all skin types, including tanned skin. It has an improved skin cooling system and a larger treatment hand-piece which means significantly quicker treatment times.
3D Technology
Featuring its exclusive 3D technology, Soprano ICE Titanium™ combines the three most effective laser wavelengths into a single applicator, simultaneously targeting different tissue depths and anatomical structures within the hair follicle. It combines the absorption and penetration levels of different wavelengths:
Alex Technology: 755nm wavelength offers more powerful energy absorption making it ideal for the widest range of hair types and colours, especially lighter coloured and finer hair.
Diode Speed Technology: 810nm is the classic wavelength to offer deeper penetration of the hair follicle and high average power.
YAG Technology: 1064nm wavelength offers the deepest penetration of the hair follicle making it a optimal solution for darker skin types, and thicker, darker hair.
Superior SHR™
SHR™ is the only clinically proven method of laser hair removal that is virtually painless, and it is the safest laser hair removal method for all skin types, including dark and tanned skin. Its unique gradual heating and single pulse delivery method effectively damages the hair follicle and hinders re-growth, while preventing injury to the surrounding tissue. SHR™ 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.
ICE Plus
ICE Plus is an advanced technology that continuously cools skin and facilitates range-controlled temperature throughout the entire treatment. The ICE Plus cold sapphire tip minimises epidermal risks while maintaining heat within the dermis where hair follicles are treated. Temperature remains controlled and constant which contributes to the diode’s efficiency. You can now enjoy a completely pain-free, cool and comfortable experience throughout your session.
Soprano ICE Titanium™ FAQs
Does it hurt?
Soprano Titanium uses SHR™ method, which is the only 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, it is integrated with ICE Plus cold sapphire tip - an advanced technology that continuously cools skin and facilitates range controlled temperature throughout the entire treatment.
How many treatments and how often is this treatment needed?
Laser hair removal will only treat hair in the Anagen phase of growth, roughly 10-15% of the hair in any particular area will be at this phase at any time. Each treatment, 4-8 weeks apart, will treat different hairs at this stage of their life cycle so you should see a roughly 10-15% reduction in hair per treatment. Most people will go for 6 to 8 treatments per area, possibly more for more resistant areas such as the face or private area.
Is it safe?
Laser hair removal is one of the most well-known and researched uses of lasers within the aesthetics industry. The Soprano Titanium system has provided hair reduction treatment for thousands of patients worldwide, safely and successfully since it was cleared by the FDA in 2005.
Soprano incorporates SHR™ technology, the only clinically proven laser hair removal method that is virtually painless, and also the safest for all skin types, including dark/tanned skin. Its unique gradual heating and single pulse delivery method effectively damages the hair follicle and delays re-growth, while preventing injury to the surrounding tissue. This treatment can be performed anytime of the year, and works well on tanned skin, while ensuring that sun exposure does not leave any marks following treatment. We recommend to avoid direct sun exposure for 7 days before and after your treatment.
How do I prepare before my laser treatment?
Apart from shaving, avoid any other hair removal method such as waxing, threading or hair removal creams for 6 weeks prior to treatment and throughout your course. Avoid sunbeds or any kind of fake tan for 2 weeks and normal sun exposure for 1 week prior to treatment. You should shave areas to be treated or patch tested around 8 hours before your visit, areas should be smooth and stubble free for treatment. Medications that may cause photosensitivity (an increased sensitivity to light and heat) may prevent us from treating you.
What is the aftercare for laser treatment?
After treatment you may experience mild redness or slight sensitivity. Aloe Vera gel is excellent to calm and soothe the skin and works well straight from the fridge. For any areas treated that are exposed to sunlight, you should protect your skin with a 50 SPF sunscreen.
After the laser treatment avoid heat such as hot baths or showers, saunas, and steam rooms for 24-48 hours. Avoid vigorous exercise and swimming as the chemicals in the water may cause irritation.
