Which laser is better: Cynosure or Soprano? (Photo)

Hello Justluv2. The fundamental concept behind laser hair removal is to heat up the cells around the hair follicle that are responsible for new hair growth to the point where they do not function correctly any longer. Unfortunately for patients, the temperature required to create permanent hair removal is high enough that some discomfort or pain is to be expected. So, the idea that a laser that has no pain or discomfort associated with treatment can create permanent hair removal does not make sense to us. You may find that lasers like the Soprano are less painful, but you will also find that they are much less effective for permanent hair removal as well. If you are light skinned, then the Cynosure Apogee Elite is an excellent device for you.

Hi Justluv2

The Lumenis Duet is the newest innovation in hair removal. Not only is it fast, but it is relatively painless! With each treatment of LHR, the follicles will die if they are in a certain cycle of growth. a few weeks should be between treatments to ensure that the hair follicles have changed into the different cycles of growth. This is why multiple sessions are necessary most patients will see 80-85 % reduction after 6 treatments. To learn more about this procedure, please visit our website.
