Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser hair removal suitable for my dark skin?
Yes, our laser device is also suitable for darker skin types. The Soprano Titanium works with the SHR method, in which the hair follicle is gradually heated. As a result, you don’t risk skin damage, even with darker skin.
Can laser hair removal be done even if I have tanned skin?
Yes, you certainly can. With our laser device, this is not a problem. However, it is important to avoid the sun for 10 days before and after laser treatment. The lasered skin is then extra sensitive to heat.
I am prone to skin irritations, is laser treatment suitable?
Do you get red bumps or ingrown hairs after shaving or waxing? Then laser hair removal is just right. The laser is not harmful to the skin, and you actually prevent the skin irritation that causes itching and bumps.
Is laser hair removal covered by health insurance?
No, laser hair removal is not in the basic health insurance package. A number of health insurance companies reimburse one-time laser hair removal for excessive facial hair growth. Sometimes only women can claim this. If you want additional insurance for this, check the terms and conditions carefully.
How long does a treatment last?
Depending on the desired area, between 10 and 45 minutes. With the Soprano Titanium, we can laser larger areas of skin at once. As a result, treatment time is up to 2x faster than with older laser devices.
How much time is there between treatments?
This depends on the area: the faster the hair grows there, the less time there needs to be between treatments. The waiting time ranges from 6 to 12 weeks. In the intake interview, we discuss the expected number of treatments and how much time should be in between.
