What is Soprano ICE?
The Soprano ICE Near-Infrared Skin Tightening laser is a new and effective treatment for improving skin laxity without surgery or downtime.
The procedure uses a safe infrared light to heat the water content in the tissue deep below the skin's surface causing collagen fibers to contract and tighten to smooth out fine lines and sagging skin. The heat also stimulates fibroblasts which repair cells in your skin to produce new collagen, creating long-term results.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY...
What can I expect?
Just prior to the treatment protective eyewear will be provided and a cool gel or oil will be applied to the area to be treated. The NIR handpiece is then passed over the treatment area in a sweeping motion. During the treatment, the skin temperature of the treated area will be closely monitored with a special infrared thermometer to ensure that your skin is receiving a sufficient level of heat necessary to warm up the water content of your skin and stimulate collagen production.
​
During the skin tightening treatment, you will feel a warm sensation as the infrared energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin. While the infrared energy is heating the dermis, continuous contact cooling is keeping the skin’s outer layer cool and comfortable. The treatment is generally considered by most to be ‘near’ painless, with only a warm sensation or feeling of heat felt during the treatment.
How does my skin look after the treatment?
After your treatment, you can expect the treated area to be slightly flushed. For most patients, this normally subsides within a few hours, although for some it may last for 24 hours. Make-up can be applied after the treatment and generally, you can go back to work or to other activities without any recovery time.
How many treatments will I need?
Multiple treatments are required depending on your skin’s laxity, the area to be treated, and the results you desire.
Typically a course of up to six treatments is recommended at 3-4 week intervals. Due to the continual aging process, results typically last 1-2 years, however, we recommend that you have a maintenance treatment once or twice a year to maintain the stimulation of your collagens reproduction.
