Silky, smooth skin takes time to perfect and no matter how much you spend on lotions and potions to make it gleam on the outside, unwanted hairs in embarrassing places will still linger – one problem that every bride can do without.

For years women have put up with the ‘no pain, no gain’ philosophy, holding back the tears as they go through the trauma of waxing, threading, electrolysis and IPL lasers… not anymore! Introducing Kim from Beauty by Design. In her decade’s experience of beautifying brides, she has learned what clients really want is a full beauty service, and now specialises in Soprano XL laser hair removal – a revolutionary new method of permanent hair removal that gives quicker results and, best of all, is virtually pain free!

Kim explains: ‘Soprano XL is effective because it uses one stream of light targeted on an area, heating the skin to 45 degrees. The treatment is quick, safe and effective.’ Suitable for zapping away the finest of hairs, lasers are most commonly used on the face, under the arms, leg and bikini line. For those looking for complete hair removal, Soprano XL is the only treatment that can be used on sensitive areas like Brazilian clearance. 

For the best result Kim advises that you start your sessions a year before your wedding, bearing in mind you need to wait six to ten weeks between each visit and will need about six sessions. Treatments start with a consultation at The Pim Health Clinic in Caversham, Reading, where your medical history is checked and a patch test is administered.

Because it is also effective for men, we sent Asiana Wedding’s Senior Designer Manni Sahota and Fashion Assistant Roopa Pandit to put Soprano XL to the test…

Manni was surprised at the results after just one session: ‘My hairs have grown back much finer, in fact there’s barely any hair at all.’ For Roopa, the experience was much less scary than she imagined, ‘It felt like having a warm lamp over you and was over very quickly – the results are great, I recommend it to anyone who gets frustrated with those annoying hairs that just won’t go away – they will now!’
