Bianca Gonzalez is Facial Care Centre’s newest face

MANILA, Philippines - “What people don’t notice right away is that I’m really balbon,” admits TV host, commercial model and Philippine STAR Lifestyle columnist Bianca Gonzalez. “Hair grows fast and it’s really thick. In fact, when I first shaved my legs in seventh grade, I got so scared because the hair grew thicker! Makapal talaga! I had no choice but to wax, which was painful and led to a lot of ingrowns. But when I did Facial Care Centre’s LaserLight Soprano, the ingrowns just stopped! That and the skin looked more ‘pantay,’ which I love. Now I can’t wait to finish my program and start my worry-free, confident life!”

Here are the FAQs on LaserLight Soprano, the hair-removal method of choice for both men and women:

What is LaserLight Soprano?

LaserLight Soprano is the latest diode laser system for permanent hair reduction, made faster and virtually painless. It combines low fluence and rapid pulsing diode technology with the addition of IN-Motion treatment technique to effectively prevent hair regrowth, safely and gently.

How does it work?

Using the gold standard 810-nm diode, pulses of light energy are emitted, then absorbed by the hair follicle, targeting the hair root and disabling it from growing new hair. This is delivered through a constant sweeping of the laser tip to cover a wide treatment area, assuring smooth and even coverage and no missed spots.

How does it feel? Is it painless?

Yes, the procedure is virtually pain-free. At most, it’s a warm heating of the skin but hardly uncomfortable.

Is it permanent and safe?

Yes. The LaserLight Soprano has been approved by the US FDA for permanent hair reduction and uses the diode laser hair system, which has been specifically developed for hair removal.

How many treatments are needed?

Around six to eight treatments are ideal to remove unwanted hair completely. Hair may be growing and resting at any one time and the LaserLight Soprano can only treat actively growing hair at the time of the treatment. Once there is sufficient hair growth, you can go for your next LaserLight Soprano session.

Can all types of hair and skin be treated?

Since it’s the latest diode system in the market, it caters to more skin types compared to older laser hair systems.

How long does the actual treatment session last?

Depending on the treated area, a single laser hair-removal session can last anywhere between 15 minutes (small area) to an hour (larger area).

Is there any recovery period?

None at all. After each treatment, you can immediately resume normal activities. The treatment has absolutely no downtime.

Is LaserLight Soprano for both men and women?

Yes. LaserLight Soprano can treat both men and women who want to remove unwanted and unsightly hair permanently.
