Every treatment is performed by Authorized Alma Practitioners, and a skin and hair assessment is included before your first session to shape your plan.

Most guests see their best results in 6 to 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles and laser only reaches follicles in their active phase, so each session meets a new wave of growth. Your therapist assesses your hair type and density at your first appointment.

Our promise: visible hair reduction after just 3 sessions, or your next one is free. It begins with the assessment included in your first appointment, an honest conversation about what laser can and cannot do for your hair and skin type, so the promise rests on a plan built for you.

Our SHR® (Super Hair Removal) technology uses patented ICE Plus™ Cooling to make treatments virtually painless. Most guests describe a mild warmth, closer to a warm stone gliding over the skin than the sting of a wax strip. Traditional laser can cause discomfort, but SHR® fires rapid low-energy pulses that warm the follicle gradually, without the shock of a single high-energy pulse.

The Alma Soprano ICE Platinum. It combines three wavelengths in a single applicator (755nm Alexandrite, 810nm Diode and 1064nm Nd:YAG) with SHR® technology and ICE Plus™ sapphire cooling. It is CE and FDA-cleared, and every session is performed by Authorized Alma Practitioners.

Every pulse of SHR® light is drawn to the melanin, the natural pigment held within each hair. Deep in the follicle, that light softens into gentle warmth, quietly switching off the root's ability to regrow while the surrounding skin rests untouched. Because only follicles in their active growth phase answer the light, appointments are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, letting each new wave of growth rise to meet it.

Yes. Our CE and FDA-cleared technology is safe for all skin types, including tanned and sun-kissed Mediterranean skin. The SHR® method can be calibrated for darker complexions, where traditional IPL or laser devices carry a higher risk of pigmentation changes, and your therapist sets it for your skin and hair at your assessment.

Your assessment checks all of this first, a quiet conversation and never a sales pitch. We'll suggest waiting, or shape your plan around it, if:

• You're expecting or nursing: we'll happily welcome you back once you're ready.
• The area has a healing wound, an active infection or a fresh sunburn: skin always comes first.
• You're taking medication that heightens light sensitivity: we'll plan your timing around it safely.
• Your hair is naturally white, grey, red or the palest blonde: with little pigment for the light to find, we'll be upfront about what to expect.
• PCOS or another hormonal condition is part of your story: results are still beautiful, though a few extra maintenance visits help keep them.

A few quiet habits make every session smoother and every result lovelier. Your therapist walks you through all of it; here is the essence.

One unhurried visit, step by step:

• Skin and hair assessment: every course opens with 15 to 20 minutes one-on-one on your skin type, hair type and personal goals, included with your first appointment.
• Your personal plan: your therapist shapes it around your hair, your skin and the zones that matter to you, timed to your hair's natural growth cycle.
• The session itself: ICE Plus™ Cooling chills the surface while SHR® delivers its energy in soft, rapid pulses, for up to 30 minutes depending on the area.
• Back to your day: with zero downtime you can return to your day, or the rest of your spa visit, immediately. Progress is reviewed at every visit and your settings fine-tuned as regrowth turns finer and sparser.

Each session permanently disables roughly 10 to 15% of the follicles in the treated area, so smoothness builds visit by visit. After a full course of 6 to 8 sessions most guests enjoy long-lasting results with very little upkeep. Because hormonal changes can wake a dormant follicle, an annual top-up keeps skin perfectly smooth.

Yes, it is one of the treatment's most loved benefits. Ingrown hairs appear when shaving or waxing leaves a regrowing hair to curl back beneath the skin. Because laser quiets the follicle itself, there is simply less hair left to grow back, and most guests find the bumps and irritation fading within their first few sessions.

Face and facial hair (upper lip, chin, brows and sideburns, without threading or tweezing), arms and hands including underarms, bikini from a tidy line to a full Brazilian, body (chest, back, shoulders and stomach) and half or full legs, for women and men alike. Treat a single zone or work towards full body smoothness: most zones blend into one personalised plan at your assessment.

Traditional laser uses a single high-intensity pulse per hair follicle, which can be uncomfortable and is less effective on lighter or finer hair. SHR® (Super Hair Removal) uses many low-energy rapid pulses that build heat in the follicle gradually, which suits more hair and skin types, including tanned skin, and is far more comfortable.
