At Bush Whacked Laser, many clients report that the Alma Soprano laser hair removal technology we use is quite comfortable compared to other methods. Unlike traditional lasers, our machines don’t require numbing agents before treatment, making the process more convenient. Instead of the common “rubber band snapping” sensation associated with other lasers, you can expect a feeling similar to warmth, with occasional mild “pinching.” Overall, most individuals find the experience to be much more pleasant than expected.
On average you will need a minimum of 6 to 8 treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart (4 to 6 weeks apart for face) to achieve permanent hair reduction. Additionally, you may require laser hair removal treatments outside the norm due to certain factors such as medication, hormonal changes, or hair cycles. It’s also not uncommon to require a touch-up treatment once a year after completing laser hair removal treatments.
If this is your first laser hair removal treatment, our laser technician will begin with a free personal consultation. Once you are deemed a suitable candidate, the treatment can begin. The laser hair removal treatment will begin with the technician cleaning the treatment area. Next, you will then be asked to put on safety goggles provided by us. The technician will then program the laser machine to determine the settings best suited for your treatment area and skin type.
An ultrasound gel is then applied to the treatment area to help protect skin while helping the laser to penetrate the skin. The laser is pulsed over the treatment area and targeted to the hair follicles. It will burn the follicles but leave your skin relatively untouched. As a result, a little reddening or swelling of the skin is normal but subsides quickly. You will be given aloe vera lotion to help with any discomfort you may feel for the next 3 hours or so. At this point, the laser technician will help schedule a new appointment for your next treatment. You will also be provided with instruction for post-treatment care.
As a result, within 2 to 3 weeks, you will see the hair falling out of the treatment area. Hair growth will be slower and hairs will be finer. The re-growth cycle for new hair will begin in approximately 6 weeks, indicating the appropriate time for your next treatment.

Hair that is actively growing and treated with laser hair removal typically does not regrow. Once a hair follicle is damaged during the treatment, it is unable to produce new hair. However, hair follicles that were not in the active growth phase during your session may require additional treatments. It’s also common for patients to schedule a yearly touch-up after their initial treatments, especially due to hormonal changes that can affect hair growth.
Laser hair removal is effective for nearly all body areas. However, it’s important to have an initial consultation with our laser technician. During this assessment, we will evaluate your specific needs and determine if any areas may not be suitable for treatment.
We do not suggest treating the area a tattoo is on and will only treat around it. Lasers for hair removal work on the same basis like tattoo removal machines being attracted to darker pigments. treating over a tattoo with a laser used for hair removal may cause the tattoo ink pigments to shatter, resulting in lightening of tattoos and most likely burning/scarring over the tattoo.
Absolutely! The Sporano SHR method affects the melanin of the skin using a unique method, allowing the procedure to be performed any time of the year as well as on tanned skin. Furthermore, sun exposure is less traumatic to the skin following SHR treatment. It’s an advanced hair removal platform that incorporates multiple laser wavelengths and technologies.
It offers power and versatility that allows you to treat the widest range of patients an hair types all year round. While the melanin in dark skin is exponentially more sensitive to the heat used in laser treatments, Alma Soprano’s SHR method has been clinically proven to be safe for dark skin types. However, rather than exposing the hair follicles to a single high-energy pulse which can cause trauma to skin with a high melanin count, SHR gradually heats the skin until the required heat energy is delivered to the hair follicle. This makes SHR laser hair removal optimal, including for dark-skinned patients.
To prepare for your laser hair removal treatment, shave the treatment area with a razor 24 hours before your session. Avoid waxing or plucking, as these methods can interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment. Following these guidelines will help ensure optimal results!
