How it works
稍稍 marks a small degree of change, "slightly, a bit". It goes before the verb, unlike 一点儿, which follows it — and the two are often used together for a softer tone.
Examples
请稍稍等一下。
Qǐng shāoshāo děng yíxià.
Please wait just a moment.
天气稍稍暖和了一点儿。
Tiānqì shāoshāo nuǎnhuo le yìdiǎnr.
The weather has warmed up a little.
