The Soprano XL – A Novel Laser Hair Removal Technology

Laser hair removal is one of the best semi-permanent hair removal treatment modalities available nowadays. The current rather rapid advancement of laser technology has been positively reflected on the effectiveness of laser as a tool for hair removal. Rox Spa is one of plastic surgery Beverly Hills spas and specializes in hi-tech laser removal techniques.

The basic idea of laser hair removal is using light energy to destroy the roots of hair which leads to permanent or semi-permanent hair reduction. This demands a deeply penetrating laser wavelength that must reach the deep layers of the skin without adversely affecting the surrounding skin structures. Most hair removing lasers target melanin, the dark pigment of the skin, and deeply penetrating laser technologies such as the diode, alexandrite and YAG are mostly effective on individuals with dark colored hair and fair skin. Individuals with light or gray hair shouldn’t be candidates for these lasers’ treatments. Intense pulsed light has been promoted as an efficient method of hair reduction for individuals with fair hair.

The newest laser technologies, which are FDA approved, are utilized in Rox Spa to offer the best permanent hair removal outcomes. The Soprano XL laser technology is one of the best technologies that are used for hair removal in Rox Spa. Soprano XL is useful for everyone; both dark hair and light hair individuals. The laser treatment session is completely painless and is convenient for removing hair from parts of the body with large surface areas such as the chest, back and thighs.

Candidates should receive a minimum of 5 Soprano XL laser treatment sessions to get a pronounced effect. However, it must be emphasized that hair removal is not always permanent. Hair reduction and delaying hair re-growth are more realistic goals than complete hair removal.

The policy of Rox Spa implies that the use of an expensive laser technology to treat conditions beyond its capabilities, or the exaggeration or falsification of the outcome of treatment for monetary gain is unethical and can lead to medico-legal disputes. In Rox Spa, patients are offered realistic understanding of the predicted results and the risks of treatment, as well as alternative treatment options.
