Soprano Titanium - the new generation in laser hair removal

The Soprano Titanium by Alma Lasers is a first in its class device, that combines 3 separate laser wavelengths, to produce a low fluence, high repetition, and deeply penetrating pulse that can target all hair colours, in all hair types. It utilises ‘In Motion’ technology so that patients have a relatively pain-free experience  with excellent treatment outcomes.

Gold Coast Dermatology Clinic in conjunction with Alma Lasers is excited to bring the Soprano Titanium to the Gold Coast, as the first clinic in Queensland to be able to offer this revolutionary technology.

So how does hair removal fit into a dermatology practice?

People's relationship with hair is love/hate. It grows where  we don't want it (chin, back, snail trail) and we lose it from the places we do want it (female and male pattern baldness, post pregnancy hair loss).  Hair can also be the cause of many medical conditions

Here's a few facts about hair to set the scene

• an individual has 5 million hair follicles on their body

• You're born with all of your hair follicles - after this point  no more follicles are created…but no matter how many times a hair is plucked, waxed or shaved it always grows back.

• Hair follicles are present on every skin surface except the palms, soles and mucosal regions of lips and external genitalia.

• Hair goes through several cycles -  Anagen (growth), Catagen (rest), Telogen (shedding)

  • the growth phase can last months to years dependent on different body parts

• Hair follicles contain stems cells that cause the hair to reform once it falls out or it is removed

• Targeting the pigment in stem cells is how laser effectively reduce and remove hair growth

Disorders of the hair follicle include, but are not limited to

• folliculitis (inflammation or infection of the hair follicle)

• pseudofolliculitis

• Ingrown hairs

• hidradenitis suppurativa

• hirsutism (hormonal facial hair growth)

• hypertrichosis (facial hair growth  - genetic, medication induced)

• pseudofolliculitis barbae

• seborrheic dermatitis - in mens beards

• acne nuchae keloidalis

In addition to these, some people find hair irritating, unattractive and the source of embarrassment 

Prior to the advent of lasers, treating these conditions was unsatisfactory, time consuming and often painful. Laser technology has completely changed the way these conditions are managed and now with the arrival of Soprano Titanium, treatment is more effective, faster and far less painful
