Laser Hair Reduction
SHR™ – Alma’s proprietary hair removal innovation is the only clinically proven method of laser hair removal that is virtually painless, and it is the safest laser hair removal method for all skin types, including dark and tanned skin. Its unique gradual heating and high frequency pulse delivery method effectively damages the hair follicle and hinders re-growth, while preventing injury to the surrounding tissue. SHR™ protects the melanin of the skin using a unique method, allowing the procedure to be performed on all skin types anytime of the year as well as on tanned skin.
Consultation and test patch is required before booking your treatment.

The 755nm wavelength, based on the Alex laser, offers a strong absorption by the chromophore melanin. This makes the 755nm an ideal wavelength in the removal of fine and light coloured hair.
The 810nm wavelength is the gold standard for laser hair removal. It balances safety with efficacy by possessing good absorption in melanin and relatively deep penetration.
The 1064nm wavelength is characterised by lower melanin absorption, making it a perfect solution for darker skin types. The 1064nm also offers deep penetration targeting the bulb and papilla of the hair follicle. With water and haemoglobin absorption, the 1064nm wavelength increases the thermal profile of the overall treatment, leading to highly effective hair removal, especially for deep hair follicles.
Forget about pain or discomfort. Soprano includes a breakthrough cooling system, called ICE Plus that has been uniquely designed to keep your skin cool throughout the entire session. Sit back and chill out with a smoothie, as your skin becomes smooth and silky.
Soprano incorporates SHR™ technology, the only clinically proven laser hair removal method that is virtually painless, and also the safest for all skin types, including dark tones. Its unique gradual heating and single pulse delivery method effectively damages the hair follicle and delays re-growth, while preventing injury to the surrounding tissue.
This treatment can be performed anytime of the year, and works well on tanned skin, while ensuring that sun exposure does not leave any marks following treatment
How is SHR IPL hair reduction different?
SHR technology is a breakthrough innovation in IPL treatments. The difference between IPL SHR and other IPL machines is that SHR scans the treatment area with up to 10 flashes per second. This gradually heats the target area for hair reduction, instead of high intensity shots that can cause discomfort, experienced with traditional IPL.
Is IPL SHR hair reduction suitable for me?
Treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin types and hair colours. Your clinician will discuss your expected results during your consultation.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on your individual hair type. Most clients require 8-10 sessions to achieve optimum results though hair will reduce and become finer with each treatment. For some, maintenance treatments may be required to achieve a lifetime of smooth skin. This will depend on a range of factors, which your clinician will discuss during consultation.
How long do I have to wait between treatments?
Treatments must be conducted at regular intervals. These vary depending on the area being treated. As an example, the face may be treated at 2-4 week intervals, while the chest, back and legs may be treated every 8 weeks.
What can I expect after my SHR IPL sessions?
Facial hair will take 7-10 days to fall out while body hair may take 2-3 weeks. Individual results will depend on your skin type, hair coarseness and natural growth cycle. Your clinician will be able to provide more information on what you can expect during your consultation.
