What is the Soprano Laser
It is a permanent hair removal device. Using Soprano laser technology, an energy field can be applied that kills the hair.
Soprano has a seemingly normal evolution so that, afterward, it causes the hair to fall out and never grow back.
The different devices that have been released for sale, as well as technological advancements, make it one of the best permanent hair removal formulas.
Types of Soprano Lasers
Currently, there are several types of soprano lasers:
- XL
- ICE
- Alma (A)
- Normal
Each of these types of devices works similarly but with some differences. Depending on your hair type and what you want to spend, it may be more suitable to choose one over the others. Let’s take a look at them.
Soprano XL Laser
It differs from the normal soprano laser in its release to the market. The XL is newer, so the technology it uses is more advanced, newer, and innovative. We can say it is much more precise in targeting the melanin in the hair.
It is more effective and causes less pain during the hair removal process. The soprano XL laser works with sweeping, meaning it skips the energy pulses to sweep the area and, in this way, reach a greater skin area.
When passing over an area with black and thick hair, the laser targets more hair filaments to kill the root lodged in the hair follicle.
This allows for a more effective, faster, and less uncomfortable hair removal treatment compared to other models (ICE, A, and Normal).
Soprano ICE Laser
This type of laser incorporates all the wavelengths of the soprano, making it much more perfect for different types of body hair.
It is highly versatile as it can be used on black, thick, blonde, and fine hair.
By incorporating different wavelengths, the Soprano ICE Laser is suitable for most people who want to remove body hair, both men and women with different skin tones and hair configurations.
Soprano Ice has the feature of being very fast in its operation.
Since it belongs to the soprano laser category, the duration of each session is shorter, just like with the XL laser.
Ice soprano is one of the best laser hair removal treatments. Both professionals who plan to rent a soprano laser device and those who intend to buy the machine have all the wavelengths of the Alexandrite laser along with the advantages of a solid laser. So Soprano ICE is quite comprehensive. You can enjoy the features of the Alexandrite laser plus some additional benefits. Something that is highly appreciated in the practical hair removal process.
The Ice laser is adaptable and suitable for many skin and hair types, making it very easy to undergo treatment with it. The chances of a clinic having this device are high.
Soprano Alma
Known as the Soprano A diode laser, it is another device widely used in beauty centers.
The main advantage of the Soprano A laser is that it does not cause burns due to overexposure, improving results when the hair type is difficult to remove.
Soprano A also does not cause skin spots, unlike some hair removal lasers that damage the skin tissue.
Another feature it has is that it is practically painless, at least for most people.
Sometimes called “soprano laser hair removal,” it gradually increases the epidermis temperature.
It differs from the Soprano XL in its technology. The diode laser A emits short pulses, repeating very frequently to reach the hair root and destroy it. This setting can be adapted to each person’s needs.
By emitting repeated pulses, it penetrates the hair follicle, where the hair is produced and grows.
The advantage of the Soprano A laser is that it maintains a low temperature in the dermis. Although it heats up, it does not cause burns, which is a significant improvement over older lasers used for hair removal.
And since it does not burn, it is not painful and does not require the use of anesthetic creams, which are common in permanent hair removal treatments.
Its speed is also good, meaning it can cover the entire legs in much less time. Most of these machines can fire 10 energy pulses per second, a frequency that allows full leg hair removal in about 45 minutes. Remember, older devices could take up to 2 hours to remove hair from the same body area.
Prices Compared to Other Hair Removal Methods
In terms of session cost, despite being a cutting-edge technology and encompassing other lasers such as Alexandrite and solid-state lasers, soprano laser hair removal has a similar price. Therefore, the total cost for the body hair removal treatment will be very close.
You should consider price differences between clinics and between individuals.
Depending on skin type, hair color, density, and your genetic configuration, if you are more prone to hair regrowth after sessions, the total cost may vary. That is, a person with fine and sparse hair may need 2 or 3 fewer sessions than someone with thick and abundant hair.
But compared to other permanent hair removal treatments, the price of the Soprano laser should not vary much.
Is the Diode or Soprano Laser Better?
Soprano is an advanced diode laser. The first models had inferior technical characteristics, but over the years and with the logical evolution of the industry, new innovations have emerged.
The Soprano diode laser is one of them. In its “ICE,” “XL,” and “A” versions, it significantly improves over the previous models.
With fewer sessions, it is possible to permanently eliminate body hair. So, you will need to visit the hair removal center initially, and then forget about the act of shaving forever.
What Do People Say About the Soprano Laser?
The traditional Soprano diode laser worked better on dark skin or well-tanned skin. Now, with the Soprano XL, it is no longer necessary to stick only to these skin phototypes; it can also achieve good results on lighter skin with fine hair.
Through sweeping and different wavelengths, this device can perform laser hair removal on various skin tones, such as white, black, and brown.
It also works —according to user reviews of this hair removal, see comments and photos— with both light and dark hair.
In fact, with its use, anyone can eliminate body hair.
Is Soprano Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Yes, it is. This new technology allows for permanent hair removal, forever.
Although some people may need to repeat sessions over time due to individual factors, Soprano laser hair removal is permanent.
In general, all methods for shaving body hair, that is, methods with energy pulses or sweeps, are permanent. However, there are always cases where it may not be as effective, and one or two extra sessions may be needed to completely remove the body hair. But as we’ve mentioned, if you are very hairy, you will need a few more sessions than someone with just a little hair on their legs and a few hairs in their bikini and armpit areas.
How Does It Work?
It is really simple for those who have already used previous hair removal lasers. The operation of the Soprano laser is as follows:
- Apply the 1st hair removal session just like with other methods.
- In the days following the session, you will notice that the treated body hair continues to grow naturally, just like before. But don’t worry or get impatient. It’s normal.
- After 15 days, the hair will fall out. Yes, it takes a little time, but it does its hair removal job.
- For a few weeks, the hair will stop growing once it has fallen out. After a certain period, hair growth will resume.
- Apply the 2nd Soprano session.
- Repeat the previous cycle.
- Continue this until you achieve complete hair removal.
The number of sessions required is typically between 8 and 10. Several months will pass, but in the end, you will never need to use razors or wax again. Only very hairy people will need to occasionally use the machine or wax.
To avoid this, you can apply one more booster session after a few months.
But Why Does Hair Grow Back on the Body?
The type of technology used affects the growing hair, so hair that is not growing at the time of the hair removal will not be affected by the energy and will continue its normal evolution.
It is common that, instead of dying after one session, the hair continues to grow much weaker until it encounters a laser sweep or pulse, at which point the hair removal will become permanent.
As you continue with sessions, you will notice that the hair becomes weaker until, finally, its complete disappearance occurs.
Hair Removal of the Pubic Area and Lips
If you want to improve the appearance of your genitals and feel more comfortable, the best thing you can do is use a permanent method. This way, you avoid the hassle of depilatory creams and discomfort when pubic hair starts to grow back.
One of the current advancements is the ability to destroy the hair root and always keep your bikini area smooth and free of ingrown hairs, a secondary effect caused when the hair grows back after being pulled from the follicle.
With the Soprano laser, it is possible to trim the area where the intimate hair grows, reducing the area where it originates.
If you want to wear a bikini without complications, you will be able to do so. If, on the other hand, you want just a small amount of hair on the mons pubis, you can achieve that too.
The applications are flexible, allowing you to choose the area you want to treat. You can opt for the calves, full legs, bikini area, armpits, or facial hair removal. In the case of men, Soprano can also be used for chest and back hair, even reducing the thickness of the beard.
As for genital and intimate hair removal for women, it is something common nowadays. This laser hair removal method provides comfort, hygiene, and enhances sensations during intimate moments.
Side Effects
Dark Spots on the Skin After Soprano Hair Removal
It is somewhat normal to notice dark spots on the skin after hair removal or areas with a more intense tone. This is one of the side effects of the laser. But don’t worry if you notice skin spots in the first few days. After a few weeks, they will disappear on their own.
The skin has been treated with heat, so it needs to recover. It is a slow process, but gradually, it will return to normal.
As a note, not everyone experiences this, but a percentage of people do. So, you should keep in mind that the spots may take some time to disappear naturally.
Dry Skin and Redness
Another inconvenience, if it can be called that, is dry skin and redness.
Since the laser emits energy that penetrates the dermal layers, people with sensitive skin may experience some redness for a few days. It is also more likely that you’ll notice dry skin.
To address this, the best thing is to use a moisturizing cream in the days following the hair removal. If you experience discomfort or itching, you can use aloe vera for skin irritation or a cream with calendula. This will soothe the discomfort and reduce tissue inflammation.
You can use the cream in the morning and evening or just once a day depending on the side effects you experience with the Soprano laser.
Is it the Same as Lumea Laser?
Laser machines in a hair removal center are much better. They have more power and a wide programming range. So, in general, they cannot be compared, except in rare cases.
While at-home hair removal is fine for certain areas or to reduce body hair growth, it still delivers different results.
People with a lot of pubic hair and thick leg hair should go to a beauty center. The Philips laser although very good, does not provide the necessary power to eradicate the same amount of hair in just a few sessions as professional devices. That is, home-use hair removal devices are inferior.
Where to Do Soprano Laser Sessions?
Nowadays, it’s almost impossible not to find a trusted center near your home. There are many options, but it’s always a good idea to go to a clinic where you know the results.
Often, you will find super cheap prices that seem like a great deal, but in the end, it may cost you more.
In most of the heavily discounted prices, you may find that the number of sessions is high and the results are minimal.
The best option is to go to a place where someone you know has already been. If that’s not possible, you can find aesthetic clinics or the best laser hair removal centers in Miami, Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Bilbao. But no matter your city or location, you will be able to find two or three places near your home.
If you don’t live near the cities mentioned, for example in regions like Murcia, Seville, or Almería, you will also find specialized aesthetic centers for hair removal. If you can’t find one, you can always ask us or request that we include you to make it easier for women and men who are increasingly concerned about having a hair-free body.
With the Soprano Ice hair removal, can I remove hair from areas like the face or the entire body?
Good afternoon, can it also remove gray hair?
Hola Nora, en principio sí pero depende también del tipo de piel. Cuanto más claro más difícil. Lo mejor es que te indiquen la posibilidad viéndote, así sales de dudas con el láser soprano tanto si es ICE como XL y los otros modelos.
Does Soprano Ice hurt less than the Soprano XL?
Thanks
Can I get hair removal on my legs while I’m in the 6th month of pregnancy?
Hello Mariana, it’s best to wait until after your pregnancy. Any treatment is better to wait until after giving birth, whether it’s laser hair removal or any other type of treatment.
How long does it take to see results?
From the first session. Depending on the thickness and strength of the hair, you will notice results with the Soprano laser in a few weeks, but from day one, the hair starts to weaken.
I have dark hair. Which laser is better for my treatment, Soprano XL or ICE? I don’t understand the difference.
Both work. In principle, with the XL you’ll feel less pain during the laser hair removal compared to the Soprano ICE, although this is relative as each person has a different pain threshold. But that’s the theory.
What’s the difference between Soprano ICE and Soprano Platinum?
The Soprano ICE Platinum is a new model with three wavelengths: 1064 nm, 510 nm, and 755 nm.
Hello, I have a question: is Soprano ICE good for the face, or do I need the other one? Thank you.
Hello! I’d like to know if ICE or SPEED is better.
Good, I’d like to know the duration of a session with Soprano ICE for full legs, for example?
In less than an hour, the full leg hair removal session can be completed.
Where can I buy it?
Good afternoon, this is my third session for armpits, and I haven’t noticed any results. The hair is still growing as thick as before and with the same intensity. It started to fall out only unevenly, but now it grows back just like normal. I’d like to know why.
It’s normal that after several sessions with Soprano ICE or other types, you’ll notice that the hair grows weaker, and some areas will have less hair. The effect is cumulative, meaning that as you continue with laser hair removal, hair regrowth should be slower and with fewer hairs. Has it been a long time since your last session?
Hello, with very fair skin, is the result lower or harder to achieve, or how would it work? I have very fair skin and black, thick hair, and sensitive skin. What are my chances? Thank you.
Hello Marta: Is Soprano Ice or Platinum better? I’d like to get facial hair removal (both light and dark hair), as well as body hair removal. I have fair skin, what do you recommend?
What’s the difference between Soprano Ice and Soprano XL?
They have some differences in settings and versions of the laser they incorporate. The best option is to compare the technical features to find the one that best suits your specific needs, as the price can also vary depending on the chosen machine. Both XL and ICE work well for different types of hair. Often, the choice is influenced by the price.
What’s the difference between Soprano Ice and Soprano XL?
What’s the difference between Soprano XL and Soprano Ice Platinum? Which is better for fair skin and brown hair?
The post is very interesting, but I would like to see before and after photos of the laser hair removal. I’m leaning more toward diode machines, but I’ve heard that 1S PRO is good, and its price is somewhat acceptable. How does it work with thick hair, and when do the effects show?
I’ve added some photos with the results from Soprano hair removal, so you can see the results in a clearer, more visual way. However, the best way to see how it works is by using it. Regardless, it’s always good to consider the price. If the 1S PRO works out better for you with all the sessions, it’s worth considering. In the end, the goal is to eliminate the hair.
Hello, can you tell me which reliable center in Puerto Madryn, Argentina offers this service? Thank you in advance.
Hello, which of the three types of lasers is best?
The choice depends on the characteristics of your body hair and skin color. This way, you can choose the best hair removal lasers. For example, if you have fair skin and dark hair, one will work well for you, but if your skin is dark, you should choose another. Soprano XL works quite well as it’s one of the newest. Generally, the newer the machine, the better, but always consider your skin and hair type.
Good afternoon, which system do you recommend? I’m about to undergo a treatment, but I’m between Soprano Ice and Soprano Platinum.
Platinum is the high-end model of Soprano hair removal machines, combining 3 wavelengths when passing the laser to eliminate hair, making it quite effective. If you can afford it, it should work well, but it’s somewhat more expensive in some centers. That said, you shouldn’t face any issues with ICE either. Both work very well.
