Hair Regrowth · Long-Term Smooth Skin
Achieve silky-smooth skin with Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT). Emitting 510–1000nm broad-spectrum intense pulsed light, this advanced treatment selectively raises the temperature to destroy hair follicles, ensuring permanent results for unwanted hair.
Overview
OPT Laser Hair Removal uses Optimal Pulse Technology — an advanced form of intense pulsed light — to reduce unwanted hair permanently. Light energy is absorbed by the pigment in each hair and converted to heat, which disables the follicle so it can no longer produce new growth. Over a course of sessions, hair grows back finer, sparser, and eventually stops in the treated area.
OPT differs from older IPL by delivering its energy in even, controlled pulses rather than a single intense burst. That makes treatment more comfortable and more consistent across the session, with less risk of hot spots — so it's well suited to larger areas like the legs as well as sensitive zones like the underarms and bikini line.
At SOI Clinic, OPT Laser Hair Removal is one of our most affordable per-area treatments and a long-term favourite for clients tired of shaving, waxing, and ingrown hairs. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of sessions is needed to catch every follicle in its active growth phase.
The Science
Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT/IPL)
Hair removal works on a principle called selective photothermolysis: the melanin (pigment) in the hair absorbs the light far more readily than the surrounding skin. As the pigment absorbs the pulsed light, it heats up and that heat travels down the shaft to the follicle, damaging the structures responsible for regrowth. OPT delivers this light in a sequence of even, lower-peak pulses rather than one harsh flash, which keeps the skin more comfortable while still reaching the temperature needed to disable the follicle. Because only follicles in the active growth phase respond fully, repeat sessions are needed to treat them all over time.
Step by Step
Your specialist assesses skin and hair type and may patch-test to set the right settings.
The area is cleansed and trimmed/shaved so energy targets the follicle, not the surface hair.
The handpiece delivers cooled pulses of light across the area — most feel a warm snap, like a light flick.
A cooling gel and SPF calm the skin afterward. You can return to your day immediately.
The Benefits
Disables follicles over a course of sessions so hair grows back finer and sparser, then stops.
No stubble, no waxing, and far fewer ingrown hairs once the course is complete.
Evenly sequenced pulses make OPT gentler and more consistent than older single-burst IPL.
Suitable for underarms, legs, bikini/Brazilian, and other common areas.
