Key Sōna Services:

Laser Hair Removal
Tired of the daily chore of shaving or the monthly expense of waxing? Remove unwanted hair with Sōna MedSpa’s proven technology. Our lasers offer you greater effectiveness, comfort and increased safety due to their design and dual chill tip. Sōna MedSpa can offer you a laser hair removal treatment package for virtually any part of your body. Remove hair from your face, neck, back, legs, abs, and bikini, lips, chin, and underarms.

Botox and Dermal Fillers
Do you have unwanted lines or wrinkles? Sōna offers Botox and a wide variety of Dermal Fillers, like Restylane and Juvederm, in order to help you look and feel younger. You can use Botox alone or with your desired Dermal Filler in order to achieve your best results.


•Botox - Botox Cosmetic is a non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
•Dermal Fillers - Dermal Fillers are small injections just below the surface of the skin used to fill in unwanted lines and wrinkles. The most common areas include: from the nose to the angle of the mouth (nasolabial folds), lips (enhancements), cheeks and chin (shaping), and eyebrows (glabellar lines)
Sun Damage
Do you have unwanted age spots or sun damage that becomes increasingly worse? Sōna MedSpa can help you remove age spots or sun damage through our Advanced Flouresence Technology. The AFT laser hones in on color producing melanin cells, in effect “bleaching” the dark area. Our treatment providers customize the treatment to each individual client, using multiple AFT hand pieces. This allows us to give you amazing results by revealing lighter, younger looking skin.

Laser Skin Resurfacing
Do you look tired or does your skin have a dullness that no amount of make up will hide? Laser Skin Resurfacing with Pixel technology can aggressively treat and significantly improve skin tone caused by sun damage, aging, or acne scaring with fractional ablative resurfacing. This minimally invasive procedure has little down time and increases collagen production, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and wrinkles, and gives your skin back its youthful glow.

Body Contouring
Sōna MedSpa offers different types of body contouring treatments. Our most popular, LipoTherapy, has been used in Europe for many years. It is a treatment technique that involves a series of microinjections of conventional medicine under the middle layer of the skin. The solution dissolves fat which the body then absorbs, metabolizes, and naturally expels.

Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal: remove hair from virtually any part of your body

What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is the process of removing unwanted hair from virtually any part of your body. Unlike waxing, shaving, or electrolysis, you get permanent reduction with each treatment. Five treatments are generally needed for optimal results. Professional laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction, according to the FDA, because it offers long term stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regimen.

What is the laser hair removal process?
A beam of light is passed over the skin, disabling every hair follicle in the area being treated. Sona uses state-of-the-art technology, administered by trained and medically supervised staff, with maximum efficacy and safety.

What results can I expect from laser hair removal?
With laser hair removal treatments you can expect significant permanent hair removal to the point that temporary hair removal methods seldom, if ever, are necessary. However, due to hormonal changes, hair color and skin tone, some clients may need a few additional treatments in order to achieve their personal level of desired results. This is why Sona MedSpa, and only Sona MedSpa offers the Sona Promise.

Laser Hair Removal for Women
Laser Hair Removal for Women: Information women need to know

For many women, unwanted hair can cause trouble. Getting rid of it also can be a painful experience. But now, there are choices other than smelly hair-removal creams and depilatories, sharp razors, hot wax, or painful electrolysis needles.

Sona Med Spa’s advanced medical lasers provide the ultimate solution. These medical technologies transcend the older, painful hair removal treatments and deliver longer lasting results.

What are the benefits of laser hair removal for Women?

•It does not cause the irritation that other hair removal methods may cause.
•Larger areas may be treated quickly and together, unlike electrolysis, waxing, or tweezing.
•It combines the speed of shaving with the lasting results promised by other methods
•It is effective on almost any area of the body where smoother, younger, hair-free skin is desired.
Laser Hair Removal is available for virtually every area of the body, including those areas that require almost daily attention. Our most popular packages include:

•Leg hair removal
•Bikini hair removal
•Underarm hair removal
•Facial hair removal
•Chest hair removal
•Stomach hair removal
Is Laser Hair Removal Affordable?
Laser hair removal pricing varies based on desired body part and the number of packages that you purchase. Despite these variances, Sona MedSpa’s operating model allows us to make laser hair removal affordable for most clients. For detailed pricing information, please contact our laser hair removal specialist at 1-866-GET-SONA

Laser Hair Removal vs. Electrolysis
Electrolysis is a much slower process than laser hair removal. With electrolysis, a needle actually is inserted into each hair follicle. Then, an electric shock burns the follicle to restrict hair growth.

The laser hair removal experience, in contrast, is a much quicker and less painful process.
Sona’s lasers use cool light to scan the treatment area, and within minutes all of the hairs in the laser beam are treated. Electrolysis treatments even take 10 months to several years to complete, because each individual hair follicle must have a tiny metal probe inserted, one at a time. Laser hair removal treatments take only a matter of months, with each treatment disabling and removing thousands of hairs, due to the skillful nature of our Sona laser hair removal specialists.

For more information about laser hair removal, call us at 866-GET-SONA for more information.

Laser Hair Removal vs. Waxing
Hair removal through the use of hot wax is a popular way to remove hair. Wax first is applied to the area, a cloth strip then is placed on top of the wax, and then the strip is ripped off, removing the hair by plucking it out from the root of the hair follicle. As you can imagine, this process can be extremely painful. Not only can waxing be extremely painful, the process must be repeated every few weeks, and the hair in the area must grow to a certain length before waxing will be effective. This leaves several days and up to a week during which unwanted hair must exist before it can be dealt with.

In contrast, Laser hair removal can be less painful than waxing. The laser used in the process, instead of plucking the hair out from the root, uses pulsed light beams, or a laser, to target the hair follicle. Generally, only five treatment sessions are needed for desired results.

Laser Hair Removal vs. Shaving
Shaving is the most common method of hair removal. A blade is used to cut the hair to make it appear the hair is gone. Once hair is shaved, it tyically grows back in a matter of days. Shaving, over the course of time, gets expensive due to the amount of products that constantly are being purchased to ensure a safe experience. Despite all of these efforts, you still can end up with cuts, ingrown hairs, razor burn or razor rash, and missed stubble.

Laser hair removal is an alternative to shaving. Because laser hair removal gets down to the root of the hair follicle, the need for daily or weekly repeat treatments disappears. There is no need to buy creams, lotions, and replacement blades or razors constantly with laser hair removal procedures. And you never have to worry about razor burn, stubble, ingrown hairs, or cuts.

Finally, the most noticeable difference that laser hair removal clients notice is the amount of time they save yourself. Not only do you feel Sona Smooth and pampered all day long, you save yourself the hours that shaving or plucking can take. Plus, there never is any need to worry about what to wear. Jump out of the shower or bed and put on your favorite skirt, tank top, or bikini because with a Sona Smooth Body, you don’t have to worry about whether or not you have shaved.

Lasers
Explanation and Technology

What are different types of lasers?
Many types of lasers are used for cosmetic procedures. The difference in these lasers is the wavelength that they utilize, which is measured in nanometers. They include:

•Ruby laser -- 694 nm
•Alexandrite laser -- 755 nm
•Diode laser -- 800 nm
•Neodymium -- yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser -- 1064 nm
•Intense pulsed light system (IPL) without heat -- 550-1200 nm
•Light and heat energy LHE -- 400-1200 nm
What types of lasers does Sona MedSpa use?
Sona MedSpa uses Alexandrite and Diode technology, both considered the "Gold Star Standard" for laser hair removal.

Definitions to know:

•Alexandrite Laser Technology: The Alexandrite Laser is a shorter wavelength system with a specific light energy of 755nm. It is the fastest laser for hair removal and appropriate for quick treatment on parts of the body with large surface areas. The laser has the ability to penetrate deeply into the dermis. The resultant heat build up in the hair shafts disables the hair follicles and enables it to achieve effective laser hair removal.
•Diode Laser Technology: A diode laser has a longer wavelength, which provides deeper penetration into the skin. For this reason a diode laser also can be used to potentially increase the results for level IV and V skin types. Finally, diode lasers allow effective treatment of large areas at one time, similar to the Alexandrite technology.
•Neodymium-yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser: An Nd:YAG is a type of laser used in cosmetic procedures. The Nd:YAG is an non-ablative laser, which means that it targets tissue in the deeper layers of skin, leaving the top-most layers uninjured. The laser typically is used to address cosmetic skin problems such as unsightly veins and pigmentation, and for the removal of unwanted hair.
Featured Laser: Alma Soprano
The Soprano with SHR mode by Alma Lasers provides, permanent hair reduction. The Soprano features an 810-nm diode laser, an "in-motion" technique, and a sweeping motion that ensures that there are no skipped spots. Like the Nd:YAG laser, it uses the proton-pumping technique to induce concentrated light to perform your procedure effectively.

The Soprano hair removal system is the new gold standard for 810--nm diode hair removal technology with true, 600-Watt CW PulseT technology. The Sopranos's CW-diode technology ensures homogeneous distribution of energy across the entire pulse. The uniformity of the delivered energy leads to better clinical results and much milder patient discomfort.

Features:

•Fastest laser hair removal - Up to 3 Hz.
•Reliable results - The Sopranos Continuous Wave diode technology provides consistency in every treatment.
•Safe and effective - The Unique BlendMode pulsing 10-1,350 ms provides a safe and effective way for treating patients with most skin type.
•Treats all types of hair - Powerful gold standard diode treatment head (up to 120 J/cm2) allows treatment of most types of hair.

The Science Behind
What makes being Sona Smooth a reality?

A laser is a high-energy beam of light that can be directed into certain areas or tissues within the skin. These beams of light are produced in one wavelength or color at a time, and can vary in terms of their strength and the type of tissue that they can target.

Laser hair removal technology is the use of this invisible beam of light and a constant source of heat that penetrates the hair follicle, disabling and then destroying it at its root while preserving the surrounding skin.

The procedure of removing unwanted hair simply is targeting the follicle and then directing the laser beam to its root. The hair removal process begins as the laser beam finds the hair follicle that it is targeting by first finding the pigment (the dark color of the hair). All three components of the hair follicle (matrix, propella, and stem cells) must be disabled to prevent the hair from growing back.

Typically, 30% of the hair on the body is removed after each treatment. Therefore, certain wavelengths need to be used to reach the hairs. This also explains why generally 5 to 6 treatments are needed to effectively become Sona Smooth.

There are many different kinds of lasers. Here at Sona, we utilize Diode and YAG and Alexandrite laser technologies to insure safe, effective hair removal.

Sona Certified
Although the bulk of the labor is attributed to the laser that removes the hair follicle, successful laser hair removal depends upon the skill level and knowledge of the clinician who performs each procedure. Better said, the laser only can do as much as its wielder can achieve. Sonas’ medically trained staff, all of whom are laser hair removal specialists, receive 40 hours of training before being Sona Certified. Additionally, they continually learn new techniques and parameters as they develop through our ongoing training efforts.

Michele V.
I just wanted you to know how thrilled I am with the facial & bikini hair removal treatments I have been receiving. I feel like a new girl! To not have to worry about getting up close to others without being self-conscious is liberating! Your staff and facility are the ut-most of professional. Thank you so much for a great experience.

Matt
I came to Sona MedSpa with the goal of building healthy confidence. After researching and going through consultations at alternative facilities, I found that Sona MedSpa offered the highest level of professionalism, courtesy, and sincerity in their effort to help clients excel. However, I would not base my opinion on the initial consultation alone: my positive thoughts about Sona have persisted through a year of treatments. I have added various services every few months to work steadily toward my goals. One of the best parts about Sona is that every visit feels like a huge step toward a comfortable happiness with your physical appearance. The staff is exceptional, delightfully entertaining and able to set anyone at ease who may at first feel uncomfortable about a treatment. They work diligently to ensure that you are getting the maximum benefit out of each visit. Taking the time out of my day to write about my experience at Sona MedSpa is a trust testament to the work of the dedicated staff. Insecurity can be so detrimental to a happy lifestyle and taking a step to invest in myself was among the best decisions I have made. It is with full confidence that I recommend Sona MedSpa to every person looking for a healthy change.

Marietta
I have been truly amazed at the results after only one treatment. For years I have shaved my legs daily due to the rapid growth and coarseness of my hair. A few weeks after my first treatment I noticed my legs were not as stubbly. Being able to go days without shaving is wonderful! I highly recommend Sona MedSpa for laser hair removal and I can't wait to see my results once my treatment package is complete.

Kathleen
I started with just bikini and underarms for laser hair removal treatments. With only two thirds of those treatments completed I signed up for an entire legs laser hair removal treatment package. I thought about doing these procedures for years. Now I am so glad that I finally did it! It was the best decision ever!

Jen
Fun, friendly, quick and clean! I love the staff at Sona MedSpa!

Ashley
The laser hair removal for underarms is exactly what I needed. It is so smooth now and no more razor irritation. I can't wait for next summer and tank tops. Thank you Sona MedSpa.

Christle
My experience at Sona has been great. After five laser treatments, I can definitely see a difference in hair reduction on my lower legs, bikini and underarms. Plus the staff is friendly and welcoming.
