Soprano Platinum — Alma Lasers TriPro platform (alexandrite 755 + diode 810 + Nd:YAG 1064 nm)

Alexandrite 755 nm Soprano Platinum Three wavelengths TriPro Test patch 3 AZN

Alexandrite laser vs Soprano Platinum — which to choose in Baku

The "classic alexandrite 755 nm" is the wavelength people know from Candela GentleLase and Cynosure. Soprano ICE Platinum from Alma Lasers combines alexandrite 755 nm with diode 810 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm in the same impulse (TriPro). At Paramed, Soprano Platinum is part of the line; test patch 3 AZN.

The comparison in brief

Paramed

When people say "alexandrite laser", they usually mean the 755 nm platform with a stamping pulse and cryogenic cooling (Candela GentleLase, Cynosure Apogee and similar). That's one wavelength and a narrow application window: best for light phototypes (I–III) with fine or light-dark hair. Soprano ICE Platinum is Alma Lasers' diode platform that combines alexandrite 755 nm with diode 810 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm in one handpiece (TriPro). Active ICE contact cooling and the In-Motion technique work with all three wavelengths. The key difference: comparable efficacy on phototypes I–III plus safe coverage of medium and dark phototypes (IV–VI) — without changing the device. Contraindications apply.

Paramed uses original Soprano ICE, Platinum and Titanium platforms by Alma Lasers (Israel), with original handpieces and safety-first protocols.

Why Soprano Platinum offers more flexibility than mono-alexandrite

Paramed

✅ Alexandrite 755 nm fires in every Soprano Platinum impulse — selectivity preserved
✅ Diode 810 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm cover other phototypes and hair types
✅ Light and dark skin handled without changing devices
✅ Active ICE contact cooling — comfort during the session
✅ Four Soprano platforms at Paramed: we pick the optimum
✅ Test patch 3 AZN — try the device before committing to a course

How we tune the protocol on Soprano Platinum

Paramed

At the consultation the specialist assesses phototype on the Fitzpatrick scale, hair density, color and type, skin condition and any tan. On Soprano Platinum the protocol is built from three wavelengths in one handpiece: for light phototypes with fine hair the emphasis shifts toward 755 nm alexandrite; for medium skin toward 810 nm diode; for dark phototypes toward Nd:YAG 1064 nm. All three wavelengths fire together, so the "emphasis" shifts without swapping devices.

Alexandrite vs Soprano Platinum's three wavelengths

Paramed

Classic alexandrite 755 nm (Candela GentleLase, Cynosure Apogee) is one wavelength, a stamping pulse and a cryogenic DCD spray ahead of each shot. High melanin selectivity delivers strong results on light phototypes but raises risk on darker skin. Soprano ICE Platinum works differently: three wavelengths (755 + 810 + 1064 nm) fire simultaneously in one handpiece. Alexandrite 755 nm targets fine and light-dark hair; diode 810 nm is versatile across hair thickness and large areas; Nd:YAG 1064 nm is safe on dark phototypes and reaches deep roots. The platform uses SHR + In-Motion — a series of low-energy pulses in motion rather than one strong "shot". Active ICE contact cooling through a sapphire tip works continuously throughout the session.

Classic alexandrite — only 755 nm, stamping pulse, DCD spray
Soprano Platinum — alexandrite + diode + Nd:YAG in one impulse (TriPro)
Active ICE contact cooling runs continuously during the session
SHR + In-Motion — gradual follicle heating
Covers phototypes I–VI without changing devices

Course plan

Paramed

A course is typically 5–8 sessions at 4–6 week intervals. Session count is driven by hair type and hormonal background, not the device name. Sun avoidance and SPF are recommended between sessions.

Alexandrite vs Soprano Platinum — pros and cons

FAQ

Paramed

? Do you have a "classic" alexandrite laser — Candela GentleLase or Cynosure? ⌄

Not as a standalone platform. Alexandrite 755 nm is available within the Soprano line — both as a standalone module (Soprano ICE Alexandrite) and inside every impulse of Soprano Platinum / Titanium (alongside diode and Nd:YAG).

? How does Soprano Platinum's three-wavelength approach differ from mono-alexandrite? ⌄

Alexandrite gives high selectivity for hair melanin but works poorly on dark skin and barely sees deep roots. Soprano Platinum combines alexandrite 755 nm with diode 810 nm (versatility) and Nd:YAG 1064 nm (dark phototypes, deep roots). TriPro fires all three simultaneously — no device swap needed.

? Can alexandrite or Soprano Platinum be used on dark skin? ⌄

Pure 755 nm alexandrite carries higher risk on phototypes IV–VI. On Soprano Platinum the protocol shifts toward Nd:YAG 1064 nm, which is safe for dark skin. All three wavelengths remain in the impulse, but the "share" of each is tuned to the phototype.

? Does Soprano Platinum give better results than classic alexandrite? ⌄

On phototypes I–III with fine hair, results are comparable — the 755 nm wavelength is the same. On medium and dark phototypes, large areas and mixed hair types, Soprano Platinum offers more flexibility through diode and Nd:YAG, plus better comfort through ICE contact cooling.

? How many sessions do I need? ⌄

Typically 5–8 sessions at 4–6 week intervals. The count depends on hair type and hormonal background, not the device name.

? How much is laser hair removal at Paramed? ⌄

Test patch 3 AZN, underarms 8 AZN, bikini 20 AZN, face 18 AZN, full legs 35 AZN, full body 79 AZN. The full price list is in the "Pricing" block above.
