Laser Hair Removal for Smooth Bay Area Skin
Smooth, glowing skin feels great, doesn't it?
Here in Silicon Valley, we take pride in the way we care for ourselves inside and out. And as members of a community centered around high-tech, we're happy to explore breakthrough innovations to assist us in achieving a healthy, attractive appearance. That's why laser hair removal in San Jose and Los Gatos has become so popular. Unlike old-fashioned creams, waxes, and blades, it's an effective long-term method for banishing unwanted hair.
But laser hair removal doesn't always feel great.
Some people describe the sensation as a snapping sensation, some as a sting. But no matter what you compare it to, you're using another word for pain. The fact is, until recently, most people have found the treatment causes at least some discomfort. For some, the pain is enough to send them back to low-tech hair removal methods.
At the Laser and Cosmetic Center, a Los Gatos medical day spa, Dr. Stuart Melnick and his staff are pleased to bring you the latest technological development in laser hair removal: the Alma Soprano® laser. Unlike other laser treatment you may have tried, you'll find the Soprano® delivers safe and effective hair removal in short treatment sessions that can be virtually pain-free.

Laser Hair Removal Consultations for San Jose and South Bay Residents
Our Soprano® laser hair removal consultations are free and often include a test spot treatment to demonstrate the possible results. Skin pigment and the amount of suntan are calculated to figure the safest settings for you. Dr. Melnick will review your medical history and skin condition, and if your skin type requires color correction, he'll counsel you on how to achieve the best results. Our consultations are very informative and scheduling is easy and convenient.
Breakthrough Bay Area Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Treatment with the Soprano® laser is gentle and relaxing. The device safely heats your skin to a temperature that remains comfortable for you while it damages hair follicles and prevents additional growth. The laser is passed over your skin in a sweeping motion, ensuring complete coverage. Treatment is usually quicker than with other lasers. Best of all, treatment is so comfortable that no pain relievers may be needed.
How the Soprano® Laser Works
The Soprano® laser is as effective as it is comfortable. The device delivers a continuous 600 watt uniform wave of energy, effectively zapping unwanted hair follicles. It also incorporates a combination of cooling mechanisms, termed "DualChill." Both a sapphire tip and a cold air adapter ensure comfort for the skin while the pulses of energy target the hair follicles.
Benefits of the Soprano® laser include:
- Treatment can be virtually pain free
- Treatment offers complete coverage for legs, arms, and more
- Treatment sessions are short and relaxing
- Treatment involves few side effects and no downtime
- Treatment is safe for all hair and skin types
Hair Removal for All Skin Types
Unlike lasers of the past, the Soprano® can be used on all skin types, including tanned skin. The device offers six different programs, allowing us to safely use it on our patients who are extremely fair as well as those with dark skin.
Located near the 17 Freeway at North Santa Cruz Avenue in Los Gatos, The Laser and Cosmetic Center is a convenient place for laser hair removal in the San Jose area.
