Harpenden Skin Clinic in Hertfordshire offers the Soprano ICE technique of laser hair removal for both men and women.
Whether you suffer from razor rash and ingrown hairs, or are burdened with genetics that cause excessive hair growth, laser hair removal can make your life easier.
Laser hair removal is more permanent than shaving, waxing and epilating. It is effective at sculpting facial hair and removing unwanted hair anywhere on the body.
The innovative Soprano ICE Titanium treatment is designed for both comfort and functionality, giving you smooth, clean skin with none of the irritation caused by alternative hair removal techniques.

Shaving is one of life’s ordeals for many men. If you have a job that requires you to be well groomed or you simply prefer to be clean-shaven, taking a razor to your face nearly every day is not a comfortable experience.
Similarly, repeated waxing is a painful and laborious process that often results in in-grown hairs. Self-waxing is not practical for many men, as it is difficult to reach areas of the chest and back.
Laser hair removal can avoid the discomfort caused by more brutal hair removal techniques. It can save you time, and the results are permanent.
Laser hair removal is a cost-effective solution that will leave your skin feeling healthy and hair-free.
Laser hair removal can be used to:
Book an obligation-free consultation at our Hertfordshire clinic to learn more about laser hair removal treatment, raise any concerns and discuss the best course of action to achieve your desired results.
Laser hair removal works when a combination of light and heat energy is delivered to the skin in a high repetition rate of short pulses. This is usually carried out by a hand-held device.
The energy heats the dermis layer of the skin, damaging hair follicles and preventing re-growth.
The surrounding tissue is not damaged in any way, but hair growth in that area will be permanently changed.
A qualified clinician will identify hair growth patterns on your skin and recommend a laser wavelength that will reach the root of every hair.
A course of laser treatments will remove 95% of unwanted hair. On average, the best results are seen after 6-8 sessions.
Soprano ICE technology works to cool and soothe the skin surface, making the treatment virtually pain-free. It has multiple wavelength settings, meaning that it is suitable for any skin tone and hair type.
During your consultation at Harpenden, Hertfordshire, you can point out the areas where you would like to receive hair removal treatment and discuss the results you’re hoping to achieve. Our qualified clinicians can advise on anything you are unsure about and provide you with information to make your final decision.
We will perform a patch test to assess the reaction of your skin to the laser technology and ensure there are no adverse effects.
Before coming to your appointment, we usually request that you avoid shaving or removing your hair. This will ensure that there is enough hair for the laser to target.
Depending on the area of your body you want treated, the laser hair removal procedure will take different lengths of time.
Soprano ICE has both a large spot applicator to reduce treatment times over a larger surface area, and a facial tip that allows detailed access to the ears, nostrils and other crevices on the face.
At our Hertfordshire clinic, an upper lip treatment can last only seconds, while the entire back can be treated in just eight minutes.
No anaesthesia or downtime is required.
The treatment area may be a little red and tender after laser hair removal. We will advise you on the best method of skincare post-procedure.
We recommend that you avoid exposure to direct sunlight and prolonged submersion in water for several days.
Results may not be immediate. It may take several weeks for all the hairs to fall out completely. On the off chance that hair does grow back, it will be finer and lighter than before.

Hertfordshire is one of the home counties of south-east England, bordering London. It consists of 634.366 square miles of countryside, culture and heritage, from quintessential English villages and Roman ruins to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London and St Albans Cathedral.
The name Hertfordshire derives from ‘hart’ (another name for a stag) and ‘ford’ (the shallow crossing place of a watercourse). Both of these components can be seen on Hertfordshire’s coat of arms.
