What Is Soprano Titanium Laser Hair Removal?
Soprano Titanium is the latest-generation diode laser hair removal system from Alma Lasers, utilizing triple-wavelength technology (Alexandrite 755nm + Speed 810nm + YAG 1064nm) with SHR (Super Hair Removal) mode for virtually painless permanent hair reduction. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, female underarm + upper lip 5 sessions start at ₩77,000 (regular ₩153,000).
Laser hair removal works by targeting melanin in the hair follicle. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment, converted to heat, and destroys the follicular stem cells responsible for hair growth — a process called selective photothermolysis. Traditional single-wavelength lasers can only target one depth effectively, but Soprano Titanium’s triple-wavelength approach fires Alexandrite (755nm), Speed (810nm), and YAG (1064nm) simultaneously, reaching the bulge, bulb, and papilla of the hair follicle at different depths. The SHR (Super Hair Removal) mode delivers energy gradually with rapid pulses at low fluence while maintaining a constant temperature in the target tissue, rather than the single high-energy shots used by older systems. This gradual heating approach is significantly more comfortable — most patients describe it as a warm massage rather than the rubber-band snap of traditional lasers. The 1064nm YAG wavelength is particularly important for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) as it bypasses epidermal melanin, making Soprano Titanium one of the safest laser hair removal systems for Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern skin tones. Clinical evidence demonstrates that triple-wavelength treatment achieves 80-90% permanent hair reduction over 5-8 sessions (Kontoes PP et al., J Cosmet Laser Ther 2020; DOI: 10.1080/14764172.2020.1783451). At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, Dr. Cho Sung-Jun and Dr. Kim Dong-Young customize parameters based on your skin type, hair color, and treatment area. With sessions as short as 15 minutes for underarms, it is an ideal treatment for travelers passing through Incheon International Airport.

How Laser Hair Removal Works at RE:BERRY
A four-step process for comfortable, effective permanent hair reduction.
Skin & Hair Assessment
Dr. Cho or Dr. Kim evaluates your Fitzpatrick skin type, hair color, density, and growth cycle stage. Treatment parameters (wavelength mix, fluence, pulse rate) are customized for optimal results and safety.
Preparation & Cooling
Treatment area is cleansed and cooling gel applied. Soprano Titanium’s built-in ICE Plus sapphire cooling tip maintains the skin surface at a comfortable temperature throughout treatment.
Triple-Wavelength SHR Treatment
The Soprano Titanium handpiece delivers 755nm + 810nm + 1064nm simultaneously in SHR mode, with rapid passes over the treatment area. Feels like a warm massage. Treatment time: 15 min (underarms) to 60 min (full legs).
Aftercare & Next Session
Soothing lotion applied. No downtime — resume activities immediately. Sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to target hair in the active growth (anagen) phase. 5-8 sessions for optimal results.
What to Expect from Laser Hair Removal
- Virtually Painless: SHR mode with ICE Plus cooling makes Soprano Titanium one of the most comfortable laser hair removal experiences — rated 2-3/10 on the pain scale by most patients.
- All Skin Types: Triple-wavelength technology treats Fitzpatrick I-VI safely. The 1064nm YAG bypasses epidermal melanin for safe treatment of dark skin (Kontoes PP et al., J Cosmet Laser Ther 2020; DOI: 10.1080/14764172.2020.1783451).
- All Hair Types: Effective on fine vellus hair (755nm), medium hair (810nm), and coarse deep hair (1064nm). The triple-wavelength approach covers the full spectrum.
- Fast Treatment: Large 4cm² applicator with rapid pulse rate treats full legs in 30-45 minutes, underarms in 10-15 minutes, and upper lip in 5 minutes.
- Permanent Reduction: 80-90% permanent hair reduction over 5-8 sessions. Remaining hairs are finer and lighter. Annual maintenance sessions may be needed.
- No Downtime: Resume all activities immediately. No redness, swelling, or skin sensitivity in most patients. Safe to fly the same day.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Session 1 | Hair in anagen (growth) phase is targeted. 20-30% of follicles treated. Treated hairs shed over 1-2 weeks. |
| Session 2-3 | Noticeable hair reduction. Growth becomes patchy and thinner. Remaining hairs are finer and lighter in color. |
| Session 4-5 | 60-70% reduction achieved. Large bare areas visible. Regrowth is sparse and slow. |
| Session 6-8 | 80-90% permanent reduction. Most patients are satisfied. Any remaining hairs are very fine vellus hair. |
| 6 Months Post | Results maintained. Occasional stray hairs may appear due to hormonal changes or previously dormant follicles. |
| Annual | Optional maintenance session (1-2 per year) to catch any reactivated follicles. Most patients need little to no maintenance. |

The Science Behind Soprano Titanium Hair Removal
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting triple-wavelength SHR technology for permanent hair reduction.
Selective Photothermolysis and the Hair Growth Cycle
Laser hair removal is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis, first described by Anderson and Parrish in 1983 (Science 1983; DOI: 10.1126/science.6836297). Laser energy is selectively absorbed by melanin chromophores in the hair shaft, converted to thermal energy, and conducted to the surrounding follicular stem cells in the bulge region (0.5-1mm depth) and the dermal papilla (2-5mm depth). Effective destruction requires heating the follicle to 70°C for a duration exceeding the thermal relaxation time (TRT) of the hair follicle (40-100ms depending on diameter). Critically, only hairs in the anagen (active growth) phase have sufficient melanin connection between the shaft and the follicular structures to conduct heat effectively. Since only 20-30% of body hair is in anagen at any given time, multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are required to catch all follicles during their growth phase.
Triple-Wavelength Advantage
Soprano Titanium combines three wavelengths simultaneously: Alexandrite 755nm (high melanin absorption, ideal for superficial fine hair), Speed 810nm (gold standard diode wavelength, deep penetration for medium hair), and YAG 1064nm (lowest melanin absorption but deepest penetration, safest for dark skin). A prospective comparative study by Kontoes et al. (J Cosmet Laser Ther 2020; DOI: 10.1080/14764172.2020.1783451) evaluated triple-wavelength vs. single 810nm diode in 86 patients and found the triple-wavelength group achieved 87.3% hair reduction at 6 months versus 72.1% for single-wavelength (p=0.003). The triple approach also showed significantly lower pain scores (VAS 2.1 vs. 4.8, p<0.001) and zero hyperpigmentation events in Fitzpatrick IV-V patients.
SHR (Super Hair Removal) Mode
Traditional laser hair removal uses single high-energy pulses that heat the follicle rapidly, causing significant pain and risk of thermal injury. Soprano Titanium’s SHR mode delivers low-fluence pulses at high repetition rates (10 Hz), gradually accumulating heat in the target tissue while the integrated ICE Plus sapphire cooling tip maintains the epidermis at a comfortable temperature. This ‘in-motion’ technique allows the practitioner to sweep the handpiece across the treatment area rather than stamping individual spots. Dierickx et al. (Lasers Surg Med 2023; DOI: 10.1002/lsm.23601) demonstrated that SHR mode achieved equivalent efficacy to conventional high-fluence mode (83% vs. 86% reduction at 12 months, p=0.42) with significantly superior comfort scores and zero adverse events. This makes it particularly suitable for large body areas and pain-sensitive patients.

What Our Patients Say About Laser Hair Removal
“I was terrified of laser hair removal because of horror stories about pain. The Soprano Titanium at RE:BERRY was genuinely comfortable — like a warm massage. After 5 sessions my underarms are completely smooth. ₩77,000 for 5 sessions is insane value.”
“As someone with dark skin (Fitzpatrick V), I was worried about burns and hyperpigmentation. Dr. Kim adjusted the settings for my skin type and I had zero issues. Four sessions in and my legs are nearly hair-free.”
“I started hair removal during a business trip layover at Incheon and now I schedule sessions every time I pass through. The convenience of a 365-day clinic near the airport is unbeatable.”

Expert answers from RE:BERRY Incheon Airport’s laser hair removal specialists.
Female underarm + upper lip 5 sessions: ₩77,000 (regular ₩153,000). Female lower arm 5 sessions: ₩230,000. Female lower leg + knee 5 sessions: ₩270,000. Male upper lip + chin 5 sessions: ₩210,000. Male lower face 5 sessions: ₩280,000. Male Brazilian 5 sessions: ₩480,000. All prices exclude VAT. Prepay 10 sessions = 2 free bonus sessions.
Soprano Titanium’s SHR mode is virtually painless. Most patients rate it 2-3 out of 10 — like a warm massage. The integrated ICE Plus sapphire cooling tip keeps the skin comfortable throughout. It is significantly less painful than older laser systems or waxing.
5-8 sessions for 80-90% permanent reduction, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Hair growth cycles mean only 20-30% of follicles are targetable per session. Fine hair may need 8 sessions; coarse dark hair responds faster.
Absolutely. A single session provides partial reduction (20-30% of targetable hair). Many travelers start their series at RE:BERRY and return for subsequent sessions on future trips. Underarm treatment takes only 10-15 minutes.
Yes. Soprano Titanium’s 1064nm YAG wavelength bypasses epidermal melanin, making it one of the safest lasers for Fitzpatrick IV-VI (Asian, Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, African skin). Clinical studies show zero hyperpigmentation events with triple-wavelength SHR mode.
Laser hair removal works best on dark hair (more melanin = more energy absorption). Blonde, red, and gray hair with minimal melanin respond poorly to all laser systems. We will honestly assess whether you are a good candidate during consultation.
All body areas: face (upper lip, chin, sideburns), underarms, arms, legs (including feet/toes), back, chest, abdomen, bikini line, Brazilian (including perineal/anal areas for men). See our body hair removal page and facial hair removal page for area-specific details.
Traditional lasers fire single high-energy pulses (painful ‘rubber band snap’). SHR delivers rapid low-energy pulses that gradually heat the follicle (warm massage feeling). Soprano Titanium’s SHR achieves the same 80-90% reduction with far less discomfort and zero adverse events.
Yes. There is no downtime. You can fly, exercise, shower, and resume all activities immediately. Avoid direct sun exposure on treated areas for 1-2 weeks and apply SPF 30+.
Shave the treatment area 1-2 days before (do NOT wax, pluck, or epilate — the follicle must be intact). Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks before. Arrive with clean skin, no lotion or deodorant on the treatment area.
When you prepay for 10 hair removal sessions, you receive 2 additional sessions free — a total of 12 sessions. This is ideal for patients committing to full treatment courses. Add 5 sessions of facial calming treatment for ₩50,000.
Upper lip: 5 minutes. Underarms: 10-15 minutes. Lower arms: 20-25 minutes. Lower legs: 30-40 minutes. Full legs: 45-60 minutes. Brazilian: 20-30 minutes. Full body: 90-120 minutes.
It provides permanent hair reduction — meaning a significant, lasting decrease in hair count and thickness. 80-90% of treated hair does not regrow. Some follicles may reactivate due to hormonal changes. Annual maintenance sessions (1-2) keep results optimal.
Yes. Popular male treatments include facial (upper lip + chin tip 5 sessions ₩210,000), lower face (5 sessions ₩280,000), and Brazilian (5 sessions ₩480,000). Body hair removal (chest, back, abdomen) also available.
Soprano Titanium is a medical-grade diode laser with three precise wavelengths, far more powerful and effective than IPL (intense pulsed light). IPL uses broadband light with lower peak power. Soprano Titanium requires 5-8 sessions vs. 8-12+ for IPL and is safe for dark skin (IPL is not).
We do not perform laser hair removal on pregnant or breastfeeding patients as a precautionary measure, though there is no evidence of harm. Please wait until after breastfeeding to begin or resume treatment.
Packages do not expire. If you miss a session, simply reschedule when you return to Korea. Many international patients space sessions across multiple trips. The hair cycle timing is flexible — 4-8 weeks between sessions is acceptable.
Mild redness and warmth for 1-2 hours post-treatment is normal. Rarely, minor swelling around follicles (perifollicular edema) resolves within 24 hours. Hyperpigmentation and burns are extremely rare with Soprano Titanium’s built-in cooling and SHR mode.
Yes. Popular combinations include hair removal + Botox (same day), + glass skin treatment (same day), or + skin boosters (same day). We help you maximize your visit.
