How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Patients who choose our medical spa for laser hair removal are surprised that they remain comfortable throughout the procedure. That’s because we use the Soprano ICE laser with the patented, groundbreaking In-Motion™ technology that works by gradually heating the skin’s outer layer, instead of targeting hair follicles with a blast of laser heat, while simultaneously cooling the surface with ICE technology.
Older lasers used for hair removal exposed follicles to a single, high-energy pulse, which felt like the sharp snap of a rubber band against the skin and risked injury.
The In-Motion™ technique involves moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area and ensuring full coverage. Instead of single pulses, the targeted follicles absorb multiple, short, low energy pulses until enough heat energy is generated to damage the hair follicle. This gradual heating still prevents follicles from re-growing hair without hurting or damaging the surrounding skin.
Additionally, the treatment is faster than older laser hair removal procedures.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost in Tifton, GA?
The cost of laser hair removal varies with treatment areas, hair density, and other patient factors. We will provide you with a personalized price quote during your consultation. We often run specials on laser hair removal to help make these treatments more affordable for our patients in Southern Georgia.
Laser Hair Removal for Darker Skin Tones
The Soprano ICE laser is safe for all skin types and tones, offering patients the following advantages:
- Safe for darker skin tones and suntanned skin
- More effective for hair removal than IPL
- Effective for hair removal on light skin with dark hair
- Virtually painless
- Reduced risk of side effects like redness or irritation
How Much Hair Is Removed With One Laser Session?
Laser hair removal affects only the hair follicles in the active growth phase. Because hair grows in cycles, only a certain percentage of follicles are actively growing at any given time. It’s virtually impossible for laser treatments to remove 100% of unwanted hair, but a series of treatments can reduce unwanted hair by more than 90%.

Laser Hair Removal FAQ
How many sessions of laser does it take to remove hair?
Patients typically have a series of 6 to 8 treatments, each spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, for optimal treatment of an area.
Do you shave before laser hair removal?
Most patients are instructed to shave the day before their hair removal treatment. It’s important to leave hairs in their follicles, so do not pluck or wax unwanted hairs.
What disqualifies you from laser hair removal?
While our Soprano ICE laser is effective for a range of skin tones, including dark skin, laser hair removal is less effective for light skin with light hair. Light hair lacks the pigment needed to absorb the laser heat that destroys hair follicles.
Do you still have stubble after laser hair removal?
While treated skin may feel rough at first, the dark “stubble” or “blackheads” you may see and feel are actually treated hairs that need to work their way out of the follicles. You can help this shedding process by gently exfoliating as directed by your provider.
