Soprano Titanium SHR technology is safe for tanned and fake tanned skin on all skin types. This is because the SHR method uses multiple, low-energy pulses of laser energy to gradually heat the hair follicle and surrounding tissue. This process is more gentle on the skin than traditional laser hair removal methods, which use a single, high-energy pulse of energy. The laser energy targets the melanin in the hair follicle, rather than the melanin in the skin. This means that the laser can still effectively damage the hair follicle, even if the skin is tanned. Furthermore, sun exposure is less traumatic to the skin following SHR treatment.
It is important to note that it is still best to avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before and after Soprano Titanium treatments. This is because sun exposure can make the skin more sensitive to the laser energy and increase the risk of side effects.

Soprano’s SHR method is the only clinically proven method of laser hair removal that is virtually painless. SHR works by delivering multiple, low-energy pulses of laser energy to the skin. This gradually heats the hair follicle and surrounding tissue, damaging the hair follicle and preventing future growth.
The unique heating and energy delivery method used in SHR prevents injury and pain. The laser energy is gradually absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, and the heat is distributed evenly. This prevents the epidermis from overheating and being damaged.
In addition, Soprano’s ICE Plus technology continuously cools the skin during treatment. This further reduces discomfort and minimizes the risk of side effects. Most patients reporting only a mild warming sensation during treatment.
Clinical studies have shown that Soprano SHR is a safe and effective method of laser hair removal for all skin types and hair colors.
