If you are tired of shaving and waxing and the constant maintenance that comes with hair removal, or if you prefer smooth, hair-free skin, laser hair removal might be an option for you. Laser hair removal is highly effective, and the process is gentle enough to be used even on sensitive areas–many patients are curious about what areas we can treat. At SKIN Vegan Med Spa, our laser hair removal is effective on all skin types and gentle enough to be used on all areas of the body.
The most popular areas for laser hair removal include:
- Face (including the chin, sideburns, and upper lip)
- Underarms (say goodbye to razor burn forever!)
- Back
- Legs
- Bikini area/Brazilian
However, laser hair removal isn’t limited to these areas. It is an excellent option for those areas where you have stubborn hair or hair growth that isn’t aesthetically pleasing. Some patients prefer to treat minor areas such as the tops of the toes, lower abdomen, or hard-to-maintain regions like the back or buttocks. It is gentle enough for skin anywhere. Our talented staff can answer any questions you might have and help you customize a treatment plan.

How does Soprano ICE Platinum work?
Soprano ICE Platinum utilizes many forms of pulsed light, which allows it to penetrate the skin to the exact depth of the follicle without burning the skin. This updated version of the Soprano ICE laser allows for a deeper penetration which can more effectively treat hair at the root, and has been more effective on darker hair and on darker skin. Even hard-to-remove hair has been treated effectively with this laser. Hair is removed by gently heating the hair follicle during an active growth cycle which permanently damages the hair follicle, killing the hair and preventing it from producing new hair.
With Soprano ICE Platinum laser hair removal, you can eliminate hair at the root while leaving intact surrounding skin. Laser hair removal can rapidly treat large body areas like the legs or back within about 30 minutes, about the same amount of time as a wax appointment. Patients typically see an 80-90% reduction in hair after an average of six sessions with only a yearly maintenance schedule of 1-2 visits per year.
