The Laser Hair Removal Process

How does it work?

Sona’s advanced laser hair removal technology can safely and effectively remove hair from virtually any part of your body and help you achieve beautiful, long-lasting results. An intensely concentrated beam of light and a series of high-repetition pulses work to deactivate the growth of hair follicles and inhibit any further growth, so you can say hello to smoother skin.

Advanced Technology for Lasting Results

rectangle

Treatment optimized for your skin

Our Soprano XL Diode Laser system from Alma Lasers, Inc. is the gold standard for hair removal technology. It uses an intensely concentrated beam of light and a series of high-repetition pulses to increase the temperature of the hair follicle and the surrounding tissue to ensure that the hair is destroyed at the source. The patented software-controlled pulse management method optimizes the treatment best suited to each skin type.

Treatment Steps

  • Step 2

    The Treatment

    You may be asked health-related questions by the provider in order to clear you for treatment. Laser gel is applied to the area(s) being treated and the treatment is performed. Treatment times will vary based on the body area being treated.

  • Step 3

    Post-Treatment

    Once the treatment is complete, the provider will remove any remaining laser gel and go over post-treatment instructions. You may temporarily experience some flushing of the skin due to the heat from the laser. If needed, cream will be provided to help calm any irritation.

  • Step 4

    Check Out

    You will schedule your next treatment appointment at checkout. The number of treatments required may vary, depending on the area you are treating. Typically, 5 or more treatments spaced six weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.

Check In

Our medical providers will walk you through the process and ensure you are feeling comfortable at every stage of your treatment. Once you arrive at the center and check in for your appointment, a provider will escort you to the treatment room, where you will change into a Sona robe (depending on the area being treated). Many treatment rooms offer a private changing area.
