Laser Hair Removal in Vancouver & North Vancouver, BC

During a Soprano ICE Platinum treatment, the laser is moved across a grid of skin using the In-Motion™ technique, which gradually heats the hair follicles within that area.

The ICE™ cooling keeps the skin cool during treatment for a more comfortable session, while the heat reaches the hair follicles deeper in the skin. It is used for permanent hair reduction on all skin tones, including darker skin.

Most people need a series of 6 to 8 Soprano ICE sessions to treat an area. You can book single sessions or a package, and your medical aesthetician will plan your sessions with you at your complimentary skin consultation.

During each session, the In-Motion™ technique gradually heats the hair follicles while the ICE™ cooling keeps the surrounding skin comfortable. Most people describe a gentle warming or mild tingling.

Dark skin is typically more sensitive to heat used in laser hair removal treatments due to the increase in melanin, but with Soprano ICE technology, patients with darker skin can be treated. This is because hair follicles are treated with repetitive short energy pulses in place of single, high energy pulses. This technique minimizes the risk of burning the dermis in the process of treating the hair follicles.

Another safety feature built in to the Soprano ICE technology is the gradual heating of the skin, which safeguards the surrounding skin from pain and potential burning. The safety measures also apply to tanned skin that has been exposed to the sun.
