One of the main benefits of the Soprano Titanium is its reduction in the intensity of side effects caused by traditional laser technology. With that being said, there are still some common side effects that are likely to occur. These include redness, sensitive to touch, and slight swelling.
Keep an eye out for any unexpected side effects such as prolonged redness, swelling, or blistering. If these occur, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
Although the Soprano device has a built in cooling system to enhance comfort during your treatment, you should expect some redness and mild swelling immediately after your procedure. The Soprano Titanium system is designed to minimise discomfort, but we recommend applying a cool compress or aloe vera gel to the treated area to help soothe the sensitive skin.
Following your treatment, the treated area will be more sensitive to direct sunlight. We strongly advise that you avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours post-treatment. If you need to go outside, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin. This does not mean you need to stay in a dark room with the curtains drawn, instead just to be concious of time spent outside in the direct sun.
Keeping the treated area clean is important to avoid any complications or in the rare case, infection. We suggest cleansing the treated area gently with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. You should avoid harsh or abrasive products that could irritate the skin as this can prolong side effects and impact your final results.
We recommend keeping the treated area well-hydrated with a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free moisturiser. This helps to prevent dryness and peeling of the treated area. We offer a wide variety of suitable moisturisers in our shop. Speak to a member of our team and they will be able to make the best recommendation for you and your skin.
Refrain from using exfoliating products (scrubs, acids, etc.) for at least one week after your laser hair removal treatment. Exfoliation can increase sensitivity and disrupt the healing process, prolonging your side effects.
As mentioned above, your treated skin is likely to be sensitive and slightly swollen. We encourage you to wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent friction and irritation on the treated area. Not only will this help you to be comfortable, but also will not prolong your side effects. Side effects should only last up to 48 hours, after this time you can return to wearing whatever.
Skip hot baths, saunas, and activities that induce excessive sweating for a few days. Heat can exacerbate skin sensitivity. This includes strenuous exercise that will results in breaking a sweat. You will be able to return to normal activities and exercise routines after 48 hours, or once your side effects have subsideed.
You may notice some shedding of treated hair in the weeks following the procedure. This is a normal part of the process as the hair follicles are being affected. Do not rub or pull on hairs that are still apparent on the skins surface. Allow the hair up to two weeks to fully shed.
Avoid plucking or waxing the treated area between your sessions. These DIY methods can interfere with the hair removal process and impact your results. The best thing to do is wait for the hair to shed, and if in the rare case it has not all fallen after two weeks, contact your practitioner.
If you need to manage hair in between sessions, it’s safe to shave. However, do so gently to avoid irritating the skin.
Depending on the results you would like to achieve, or if you are after long-term, near-permanent results, it is likely that you will require a course of treatment. We recommend that you follow the recommended schedule for follow-up sessions provided by your practitioner. Consistency and patience are key to achieving the best results.
If you experience any unusual side effects or have concerns, don’t hesitate to contact your practitioner who performed the procedure. They will be able to answer any questions, ease any concerns, or in rare cases provide guidance on when to see your GP.
