Tackling light hair

Combining the absorption of the Alexandrite wavelength with the coverage and comfort features of Soprano hair removal technology, Soprano ICE Platinum is designed for fine, light hairs that are harder to treat.

Soprano ICE Platinum: Tackling light hair

Three Wavelengths in One Applicator

Soprano ICE Platinum combines three wavelengths (755, 810 and 1064 nm) in a single applicator, targeting different tissue depths and structures within the hair follicle. With Soprano in-motion delivery and ICE contact cooling, it is designed for treating a wide range of skin types, including tanned skin, with suitability assessed by the practitioner.

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, for uniform coverage of the treatment area.

Full coverage

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 larger areas; Soprano hair removal technology STACK – 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.

Soprano technology

  • SHR - soprano: titanium+Platinum+ICE+rejuve
    Soprano hair removal technology heats the follicle gradually with high-frequency, lower-fluence pulses and strong contact cooling, an approach studied in published clinical trials.
  • snowflake - soprano titanium+Platinum+ICE
    ICE technology continuously cools the skin: a cooled tip is designed to protect the epidermis while heat is maintained in the dermis, where hair follicles are treated.

Soprano ICE Platinum: professional laser hair removal machine

Soprano ICE Platinum is a professional laser hair removal machine from Alma’s triple-wavelength Soprano range. Its TRIO applicator delivers 755, 810 and 1064 nm at once, with ICE contact cooling and Soprano in-motion delivery.

A hair removal laser machine with three wavelengths

As a hair removal laser machine, Soprano ICE Platinum combines the three wavelengths in one applicator, so the energy reaches different depths and structures within the hair follicle in the same pass. The SPEED 810 applicator and a Facial Tip for areas such as the ears, nostrils and glabella complete the range.

Soprano laser hair removal modes

Soprano laser hair removal can run in motion over larger areas, in STACK mode with stationary multiple pulses for small areas such as the face and bikini line, or in HR classic mode with a single stationary pulse. The in-motion method heats the follicle gradually with repeated lower-fluence passes.

Who uses a professional laser hair removal machine like this?

Soprano ICE Platinum is designed for clinics. Practitioners deliver treatments after Alma clinical training, and operator requirements are set by each state and territory.

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 a wide range of skin types, including tanned skin, with contact cooling and practitioner assessment.

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

  • Both use the same Soprano in-motion method with ICE contact cooling. Soprano ICE Platinum adds the TRIO applicator, which combines three wavelengths in a single applicator to target different depths within the hair follicle. Soprano ICE uses separate applicators, including an 810 nm diode and ALEX 755 for light and fine hair.

    Both remain available from Alma Lasers Australia, which can compare the applicator sets against your treatment menu.

  • Soprano ICE Platinum offers three modes: Soprano in-motion, with constant movement of the applicator over larger areas; STACK, a stationary multiple-pulse delivery for small areas such as the face and bikini line; and HR classic, a stationary single-pulse delivery.

  • Operator requirements for laser hair removal are set by each state and territory, so the rules in Queensland differ from those in other states.

    Alma Lasers Australia walks each clinic through what applies in its state before installation, and every installation includes clinical training for the team.

  • Look for a diode system that uses a gradual-heating technique with contact cooling. Soprano ICE Platinum and Soprano Titanium Special Edition are designed for treating a wide range of skin types, including darker and tanned skin. Soprano in-motion technology delivers repeated lower-fluence pulses while the handpiece moves, raising the follicle temperature gradually while contact cooling protects the skin surface. Compared with single high-fluence pulses, this reduces the heat load on pigmented skin, which is why the approach suits darker and tanned skin. Safety still depends on correct settings, a test patch and the practitioner’s assessment, and results vary between patients. See laser hair removal machines for clinics and the clinical evidence page for the published studies.

  • 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.

  • Published randomised comparisons against high-fluence diode treatment reported equal hair reduction with lower pain scores. 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.
