The Soprano Titanium uses, among others, the Nd:YAG wavelength of 1064 nm, which works deeper and largely spares the pigment in the top layer of the skin. Together with the continuous cooling, this makes the treatment safe for skin types IV to VI.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Which skin type do I have?<\/summary>\n<p>We determine this during the intake using the Fitzpatrick scale, based on your skin colour and how your skin reacts to the sun. We then adjust the wavelength and power accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Does laser work on light hair with light skin?<\/summary>\n<p>The laser reacts to the pigment in the hair. With blonde or red hair the effect is therefore smaller, whatever your skin type. Grey or white hair unfortunately cannot be treated. During the trial treatment we look honestly at what is achievable.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the difference with IPL for dark skin?<\/summary>\n<p>IPL uses a broad spectrum of flash light and is harder to direct. On dark skin this more easily causes burns or pigmentation. A laser with fixed wavelengths is therefore safer.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do I need to take extra care with dark skin after treatment?<\/summary>\n<p>Avoid the sun and sunbeds in the weeks before and after each session, and use factor 50 on treated areas exposed to the sun. This prevents pigmentation.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"under\">You can find more answers on the <a href=\"\/en\/faq\/\">FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"cta m\" id=\"afspraak\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"box\">\n<div class=\"ph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstwax.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2V8A6618-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Treatment with the Soprano Titanium at First Wax Studio\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"txt\">\n        <span class=\"eyebrow\">Free trial treatment<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Not sure whether laser suits your skin?
