Tackling light hair

Combining the high absorption benefits of the Alexandrite wavelength with the treatment coverage and comfort offered by Soprano hair removal technology, the Soprano ICE Platinum delivers superior results for ‘stubborn’, fine, light hairs that other solutions find hard to catch.

Suitable for all skin types

Featuring its exclusive 3D technology, Soprano ICE Platinum combines the three most effective laser wavelengths into a single applicator, simultaneously targeting different tissue depths and anatomical structures within the hair follicle. By combining the absorption and penetration levels of different wavelengths, along with Soprano hair removal technology, Soprano ICE Platinum is the safest and most efficient hair removal treatment available today. enabling the procedure to be performed on all skin types – even tanned – anytime of the year.

Alma Soprano ICE Platinum laser hair removal platform

Full coverage

During treatment, energy is applied over a large area – not just in the region of the hair follicle itself. The In-Motion technique accumulates heat, damaging the hair follicles within the treatment area, ensuring uniform, full coverage, and dramatically improving results.

Multiple modes

Alma’s proprietary Soprano hair removal technology can be used in three different ways: Soprano hair removal technology in motion – constant movement of the applicator over the skin for fast and safe hair removal over large areas; Soprano hair removal technology STACK – safe, stationary, multiple-pulse delivery of energy for small areas, such as the face and bikini area; and HR classic – stationary delivery of energy in one pulse.

Leading Technology

Soprano hair removal technology is the only clinically-proven, designed for comfort method of laser hair removal. Gradual heating at a high frequency pulse delivery, with strong cooling, enables an effective, safe and comfortable treatment for all skin types.
ICE technology continuously cools skin: a cooled tip minimises epidermal risks while maintaining heat within the dermis where hair follicles are treated, for a designed for comfort and comfortable experience.

Clinical evidence and running costs

Why clinics choose Soprano: facts a buyer can check

Comfort and safety, in published trials

In a randomised split-leg trial of 25 patients, Soprano in-motion at low fluence achieved 86 to 91% hair reduction, the same as a high-fluence single-pass diode laser, with significantly less pain; the only superficial burn recorded in the study occurred on the high-fluence side (Braun, Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2009).
A randomised side-by-side comparison found equal hair reduction at 6 and 12 months, with pain scores of 2.7 versus 3.6 out of 10 for single-pass treatment (Koo, Ball, Tremaine and Zachary, Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2014).
In 42 women with PCOS-related facial hirsutism, in-motion low fluence produced 90.5% median hair reduction versus 85% for a single high-fluence pulse, with a low pain score (Pai, Bhat, Mallya and Gold, Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2011).
In 71 patients with skin types IV to VI, treatments were complication-free with negligible discomfort (Agarwal, Velaskar and Gold, Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 2016).

The mechanism: the follicle is heated gradually to the treatment temperature by repeated low-fluence passes rather than by one high-energy pulse, so less energy reaches the epidermis at any moment. That is why Soprano is used on all skin types, including tanned skin, with contact cooling.

Running cost

Soprano systems supplied by Alma Lasers Australia have no pulse counter and no pulse cards: pulses are unlimited during the warranty period, there are no per-treatment consumables, tips or proprietary gels, and the only ongoing costs are applicator life, servicing and ordinary clinic supplies. Platforms that charge per pulse or per consumable add a cost to every treatment; Soprano does not.

FAQs

No. Soprano systems supplied by Alma Lasers Australia have no pulse counter and no pulse cards, so pulses are unlimited during the warranty period. There are no per-treatment consumables, tips or proprietary gels to buy. The ongoing costs are applicator life, scheduled servicing and ordinary clinic supplies such as ultrasound gel and razors. Platforms that charge per pulse or per consumable add a cost to every treatment, which matters most in a high-volume hair removal clinic; Soprano does not. The same applies to Harmony XL Pro, Alma Hybrid, Accent Prime and PrimeX. Alma Opus uses treatment tips and DermaClear uses solutions, which are stated on their pages. Full breakdown: what an aesthetic laser really costs to run.
In the published comparisons, yes on comfort and burns, with equal hair reduction against high-fluence diode treatment. Soprano heats the follicle gradually with repeated low-fluence passes instead of one high-energy pulse, so less energy reaches the epidermis at any moment. A randomised split-leg trial found the same 86 to 91% reduction as a high-fluence single-pass diode with significantly less pain, and the only superficial burn in that study was on the high-fluence side (Braun, Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2009). A second randomised comparison found equal results at 6 and 12 months with pain scores of 2.7 versus 3.6 out of 10 (Koo and colleagues, Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2014). In 71 patients with skin types IV to VI, treatments were complication-free (Agarwal and colleagues, 2016). One axilla study found a high-fluence Nd:YAG removed more hair, at higher pain; we list it too. All papers are linked on the clinical evidence page.
Alma platforms record treatment parameters and applicator usage on the device, and your Alma representative can help a clinic review utilisation, applicator life and service history as part of regular account reviews. Alma Lasers Australia uses this to advise on when an additional applicator or a second platform would pay for itself, and to plan preventive maintenance.

Ask your representative for a utilisation review if you want to understand how a device is performing against your booking volume.
Describe outcomes as ranges over a course, not a single-session transformation. Laser hair removal reduces hair over several sessions because hair grows in cycles; skin treatments improve tone and texture gradually; body contouring shows change over weeks as the body responds. Photographs should be the clinic’s own, with the treatment and interval stated, and patients should be told that results vary and that suitability is assessed at consultation.

This honest framing is also what Australian advertising rules for regulated health services expect. Alma Lasers Australia provides consultation guidance with its clinical training.
Regional clinics often see the strongest utilisation because there are fewer competing providers and patients travel less for treatment. A single multi-application chassis such as Harmony XL Pro, or a Soprano hair removal platform with repeat bookings, can carry several treatment lines without the space or staffing of a city clinic. No per-treatment consumables on the core platforms means margin per session does not shrink as bookings grow.

Alma Lasers Australia models utilisation and payback for each clinic rather than quoting a generic figure, and supports regional clinics with the same training and service as metropolitan ones.
