Soprano Ice Laser Hair Removal

Miss V – “It’s Sanity NOT Vanity!”

Keeping you abreast of all things beautiful..

So here I am and what a season to start with – it’s a cool Yule and I’m in full festive flow ……yet we all know it’s coming; get Christmas out of the way and there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

Sinking lower into your giant, winter jumper won’t help and pretending it isn’t ever going to get lighter in the evenings isn’t going to cut it either….

A bit more of winter, a blink of spring and then it’s here…….SUMMER! That glorious period of bronzed limbs, revealing bikinis, flushed cheeks and Bellinis is looming like an annoying spotlight on pasty-white, hairy bodies! I know it feels like you’ve only just donned the 80 denier, given up looking at your naked body and thought “to hell with the diet”!

Jeez, even writing about being  ‘beach-ready-body’ makes me want to grab a box of Celebrations and lay on the sofa with a cushion on my head, whimpering slightly whilst drooling melted chocolate and semi-consciously ignoring the warmer air outside.

However, not this year Vaulties! Miss V is getting ready …. I’m going to meet those warmer months bang on, full frontal, show-me-the-rays, body confident! This year sun, you’re not going to be the only thing ready to SHINE!

But…..I realise, I need some help!!!

Standing in front of a long mirror as nature intended, I open one eye long enough to take in skin the colour of tinned rice pudding and hair…..wow, hair…let’s just say Chewbacca would be jealous.

So this is what I’m tackling first in my “stand up to summer campaign” – the body blanket that seems to have grown over my body during the past few winter months! Comfortable and practical?  Yes. Beautiful and alluring  most definitely not! It’s got to go and so I hotfoot it down to The Vault to tap into their scare hair tactics.

Hair (not the stuff on my head I might add, that doesn’t seem to have got the “grow as fast and as thick as you can” memo the rest of my body got) is the bane of my life.

Shaving if I’m honest does my head in (patchy, bleeding limbs are never a good look) so I put myself in therapist Jess’s hands for an underarm Soprano Ice Hair Removal session.

I’m not keen on doing this – I’ve had laser for hair before and it really, really ruddy hurts!! Like a hideous and prolonged attack of twanging elastic bands all over your body. I’d managed 40 seconds previously before sobbing and storming out just as hairy as before (except for a small, round, red-raw patch on my left shin.)

But in the name of Miss V I follow Jess into the therapy room and we begin……..

“I’m very sensitive,” I tell her

“It won’t hurt.” she assures.

“Can you turn it off if I cry?” I ask

“It won’t hurt.” she says again.

“I think my skin is thinner than most…” I panic

“It won’t hurt.” she repeats.

“Maybe we should give it a week to grow a bit?” I bleat.

“I’ve finished.” she chirps!

And she had! J

It honestly hadn’t vaguely, slightly, even a little bit caused me any pain whatsoever  - I’ve had jeans cause me more discomfort and if I could liken it to anything it was a bit like having a warm, roll-on deodorant rubbed on your pits! It’s all to do with the special ice cooling technology but who cares about the science - IT DOESN’T HURT!

Relaxing isn’t an adjective I’d usually associate with laser hair removal but this is sublime – I actually felt pampered by the end of the session (so much so that I then panicked it hadn’t worked. However, dear reader a couple of weeks down the line my fluff is finer, my armpit smoother and all that after only one session!)

Soprano Ice is an absolute revelation and as The Vault is the only place in Kent to offer this futuristic hair blasting service, get your hairy self down there asap and free yourself of annoying fuzz forever – this time it’s all the gain with NO pain!

Stick it on you Christmas list forthwith!
