What
is Soprano Laser/ How does Laser work?
Epilite use the Soprano Xli which is a true laser to provide permanent hair reduction. The laser is absorbed by pigments in the hair which heats up follicles and destroys them without damaging surrounding skin. |

Is laser right for me?
Soprano XLi removes hair

existing methods such
as IPL, electrolysis and
waxing. It removes in
grown hairs and has
helped people improve
confidence. It is
suitable for all skin
types,including patients
with very dark skin. |

Is Soprano laser hair removal permanent?
Yes. It will permanently destroy hair follicles that are in the growing phase on the day of treatment. It will not affect follicles without hair hence we recommend
a series of treatments. |

A patch test will determine the correct setting for you to ensure no side effects. If your skin is sensitive to heat treatments a slight pinkness may occur but this will disappear within hours. |

treatments will I
need?

treatments per week
for 4 weeks. |

essential to have a
two week gap between
courses. |
|
|

than one area
treated at one time?

prepared to do more
cardio vascular
exercise. |
|
|
Will the inches
stay off after a
treatment?
Yes, but only if you
maintain a healthy
diet and exercise
routine. |
|
|
|
|
What
actually happens to the fat?
The fat cells are undamaged, but due
to the reaction of the laser light
on the cell it will empty the
contents. The contents consist of
Water, Glycerol and free fatty
acids. Following a treatment the
Glycerol or sugar is rapidly
absorbed by the body. The water
carries the free fatty acids,
through the lymphatic system,
through the kidneys and are then
passed out of the body in your
urine. |
|
|
Does
the treatment hurt?
No. There is no pain at all. |
|
|
Will
I have to keep coming back to keep
my results?
The answer will be dependent on your
lifestyle. |
|
|
What
exercise should I do following an
inch-loss treatment?
Any cardio-vascular exercise
adjusted for your fitness level,
such as; running machine, swimming,
power walking, etc. It is important
that the right exercise is chosen
for your age and fitness level.
Whichever exercise is chosen must
get the heart rate up to the point
of perspiring. |
|
|
Why
do some people achieve better
results than others?
All Laser e-Lipo Inch-loss treatments
are not a miracle cure. However we
achieve fantastic results more so
with the clients that follow the
advice of a sensible diet in
addition the more exercise you can
do the better the results. |
|
|
How
can I monitor my results?
At every session you will be weighed
and measured and you will be
photographed before your first
treatment and following your last. |
|
|
How
long will the treatment take?
Treatments take between 10 and 40
minutes dependant on what system is
being used. All systems work
equally. |
