For fine, light-coloured, or vellus hair that is unsuitable for standard laser hair removal — Soft Light uses gentle laser energy to progressively lighten and reduce hair with no damage to surrounding skin.
Standard laser hair removal works by targeting melanin (pigment) in the hair shaft. This means it is most effective on dark, coarse hair. Fine, blonde, grey, or light-coloured hair contains insufficient melanin for standard LHR to target effectively. Soft Light uses a lower-fluence laser protocol that gently heats and damages fine hair follicles without requiring high melanin concentration — progressively lightening and reducing unwanted fine hair.
Who is Soft Light For?
Patients with fine facial hair (peach fuzz, vellus hair) unsuitable for standard LHR Patients with blonde, red, grey, or light brown body hair Those who want hair lightening rather than complete removal Patients with sensitive skin requiring a gentler laser protocol
Soft Light is often combined with standard LHR on the same treatment day — targeting coarse dark hair with LHR and fine lighter hair with Soft Light simultaneously. Our Full Body with Soft Light (150 min) package includes both technologies in one comprehensive session.
More sessions are typically required than standard LHR — usually 8–12 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Because fine hair has less melanin to target, the treatment works more gradually.
Soft Light achieves progressive lightening and reduction — most patients see 60–80% improvement in hair visibility. Complete removal of very fine vellus hair is difficult with any laser technology. Your specialist will set realistic expectations during consultation.
