Details
Soprano ICE (SHR) is a state-of-the-art procedure designed to remove unwanted hair faster and more comfortably than ever before. With SHR, you can receive treatment regardless of skin colour or season, and can even treat sensitive areas without any discomfort.
The secret to SHR’s virtually pain free treatment is the method by which the hair follicle is damaged. By using a sweeping, paintbrush technique with low doses of energy applied multiple times to the hair follicle, the SHR procedure is shorter than other laser methods, move comfortable and gives top results.
Details
SHR works by gradually heating targeted hair follicles with gentle pulses of laser energy. Because the laser is constantly in motion, treatment is more similar to a hot stone massage than traditional laser hair removal where single high dose of energy is applied to the hair follicle, resulting in both pain and potential burns

FAQ
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a safe, virtually painless method of removing unwanted hair. It works by focusing a laser beam at the base of the hair follicle, halting hair growth. Laser hair removal is different to the Intense Pulsed Light system (IPL) which uses less powerful, diffused light waves. Laser hair removal can be used on any part of the body, including the most common problem areas: face, bikini area, legs and underarms. Many professionals and celebrities choose laser hair removal as it is considered the highest quality, most safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair from visible areas.
How does the treatment work?
The laser is attracted to the dark pigment in hair called melanin. The energy from the laser travels down to the base of the hair follicle using melanin as a ‘conductor’ where it disperses as thermal energy. This damages the base of the hair follicle rendering it unable to produce hair as quickly. This rate of growth will decrease more as you have further treatments.
As well as the laser needing melanin, the hair must also be in a certain stage of its growth cycle for the treatment to be effective. This cycle is known as the ‘active growing phase’, or anagen, and is when the hair is connected to the base of the hair follicle. This connection provides a direct pathway for the laser energy to disperse where the hair is produced at the base of the follicle.
Not every hair is in this phase at any one time on the body which is why you will need multiple treatments. This is referred to as the ‘resting phase’ or telogen.
Is this the right treatment for me?
As melanin is needed in order for the treatment to be effective, laser hair removal unfortunately does not yet work on white blonde, white or grey hair.
How often will I need treatment?
You must have the treatment on a regular basis to get the maximum benefit. Facial hair is treated every 4 weeks and body hair is treated every 6 weeks. We recommend a minimum of six treatments.
What happens after treatment?
You may have some redness in the skin; this is completely normal and generally settles within 24 hours. Protecting your skin from the sun is essential to avoid any darkening caused by increased pigment in the skin called hyperpigmentation.
