In today’s world of plunging necklines, spaghetti straps and hot-pants; hair-free skin is an indispensable part of grooming.   

While laser hair removal techniques saw takers by the hordes, the need for effective treatments have given rise to an array of  new age and improvised treatments in this regard.  The latest in this space is Alma Laser Soprano Ice. With minimal downtime, zero pain and perfect results, there’s little wonder why women are showing their thumbs up to this treatment.

Alma laser soprano ice  entails a rather interesting procedure. This treatment comes with an advance cooling technology that cools the skin during treatment, for longer period of time. The in-motion technology provides gradual heating to reach the clinical end point, rather than a sharp sudden burst of heat. This cooling effect increases the comfort, making the removal process painless, while delivering a massage like sensation.

For one, laser treatment is a durable treatment, it helps in reducing the hair growth permanently. However, compared to any other hair removal procedure that has results that last up to four weeks, the Alma Laser Soprano Ice is a more durable treatment.

With proven safety records Soprano Ice is perfect to be used on any area of the body. This can be done on normal and tanned skin. The treatment affects only the hair follicles and  leaves the skin intact. The treatment does not cause scarring, as the lasers don’t cause wounds on the skin.

The treatment is also  suited for all hair colours, except blonde or  lighter hair colour like grey hair. Also, the laser  penetrates only one to four mm in the skin. The treatment has  proven safety to work on darker skin tones. A reduction in treatment time and less number of sessions to attain effective results make this treatment very cost-effective, with a starting price of Rs 1,500. After this treatment, you can immediately return to your normal activities. You may also resume working out at gym as there is no down time.
