Painless Laser Hair Removal – Alma Soprano Titanium

SkinVitál Clinic Banstead, Surrey

Treatment Overview

What to expect

At SkinVitál Clinic we use the Alma Soprano Titanium, one of the most advanced diode laser hair removal systems available. It combines three laser wavelengths (755 nm, 810 nm and 1064 nm) in a single applicator, so every pass targets hair at different depths and suits a wide range of hair and skin types, including tanned and darker skin.

Unlike older lasers that deliver single, high-energy shots, the Soprano Titanium uses SHR technology and the IN-Motion technique: the applicator glides over the skin, gradually heating the hair follicle with rapid, low-energy pulses. ICE Plus cooling keeps the skin surface cool throughout, making treatment virtually painless and quick, even on large areas such as legs and backs.

How the Soprano Titanium works

The three wavelengths are absorbed by the melanin in the hair.
The light energy converts to heat, which builds up gradually inside the follicle.
The heat disables the parts of the follicle responsible for hair growth, while ICE Plus cooling protects the surrounding skin.
Treated hairs shed over the following 1–3 weeks, and any regrowth is finer, lighter and slower.

Because hair grows in cycles, a course of 6–8 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart gives the best long-term reduction. Every treatment is carried out by Jolanta Rusakoviene RGN, an experienced Registered Nurse, following a consultation and patch test.

What laser do you use?
We use the Alma Soprano Titanium, a medical-grade diode laser that combines three wavelengths (755 nm, 810 nm and 1064 nm) in one applicator, with ICE Plus cooling for comfort.

Does laser hair removal hurt?
The Soprano Titanium is known for being virtually painless. Its gradual SHR heating and ICE Plus cooling mean most clients describe a warm, massage-like sensation rather than the sharp snapping feeling of older lasers.

Is it suitable for my skin type?
Yes. The Soprano Titanium is safe for all skin types (I–VI), including tanned and darker skin, thanks to its 1064 nm wavelength. Very light blonde, grey, white or red hair has little pigment and responds poorly to any laser.

How many sessions are needed?
Most people need 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart for the face and 6–8 weeks apart for the body, because hair grows in cycles and the laser works best during the active growth phase.

Is laser hair removal permanent?
It provides long-term hair reduction rather than guaranteed permanent removal. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed to keep results at their best.

Do I need a patch test?
Yes. A consultation and patch test are carried out before your first treatment to confirm the treatment is safe and effective for your skin and hair.

How should I prepare?
Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid waxing, plucking, threading and epilating for 4 weeks beforehand, and avoid sun exposure, sunbeds and fake tan for 2 weeks before treatment.

How much does it cost?
Prices start from £40 per session for small areas (women) and £50 (men). Every area is also available as a 6-session course for the price of 5.

Which areas of the body can be treated?
Almost any area, including the face, underarms, arms, legs, bikini line, Hollywood, back, chest and abdomen.

With the Alma Soprano Titanium, most clients notice a visible difference after just a few sessions. Treated hairs shed within 1–3 weeks of each appointment, and over a full course you can expect:

Significantly less hair growth in the treated area
Finer, lighter hair when it does grow back
Slower regrowth, so you shave far less often
Smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs and less razor irritation

Most people achieve around 70–90% long-term hair reduction after completing a course of 6–8 sessions. Hormonal changes can stimulate new follicles over time, so occasional maintenance sessions (typically once or twice a year) keep results at their best.
