Soprano XL Ice - hair removal laser review, characteristics, advantages, reviews

Soprano is a series of highly effective intradermal fillers of the latest generation. Soprano fillers are produced by the world's leading laboratories Dr. Korman and Biomatic Lab (Israel), which specialize in creating products for aesthetic medicine.

The Soprano brand produces a whole range of drugs for mesotherapy, bioinduction, biorevitalization and contouring. A unique composition, specially developed for the SOPRANO line of hyaluronic acid fillers, allows you to achieve a prolonged effect by increasing the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid (3100 kDa). Thanks to this, SOPRANO gels are plastically distributed in tissues, evenly saturate the treated area and allow you to achieve a harmonious, natural and long-lasting effect.

All Soprano fillers contain highly purified hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin.

Soprano brand products comply with international quality standards and are certified in Russia.

Laser characteristics

The technology of the device, which combines alexandrite and diode modes, copes equally well with light and dark skin on any part of the body. The laser solves the problem of pigmentation, dilated capillaries and ingrown hairs. The procedure itself does not last long, but after the first session, new hair will not be seen for another 1–1.5 months. Some technical characteristics of the device are shown in the table below.

The laser has a moderate effect on melanin and isolates the bulb from the nutrient vessels. It does not leave burns on the skin, unlike devices with flashes. In addition to the nozzles for changing modes, the kit includes a special 6 mm tip, which allows you to carefully work on hard-to-reach areas.

Features of Soprano fillers

Soprano is a well-known cosmetic brand that produces products for skin rejuvenation procedures. Soprano fillers appeared on the market not so long ago, but have already become popular because they have a number of obvious advantages:

• filled with hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin, which eliminates the risk of possible rejection or allergy to the gel;
• the ability to use it to smooth out various types of wrinkles, correct lips, cheekbones, cheeks and other areas of the body;
• quick result.

The hyaluronic component helps improve metabolism, stimulates the production of natural collagen, and retains moisture in the deep layers of the dermis for a long time. The manufacturer claims that with the help of fillers you can get rid of wrinkles in the nasolabial and periorbital area after the first session.

The use of Soprano fillers has standard contraindications for injection procedures:

• presence of open wounds or burns;
• infectious and inflammatory processes in the body;
• pregnancy and lactation;
• age under 18 years;
• poor blood clotting;
• malignant neoplasms.

Before starting contouring, you should consult your doctor. It is best to get injections in a trusted clinic with experienced specialists to reduce the risk of developing negative consequences.

Contraindications

Instructions for use

There are several simple rules that are recommended to be followed before epilating with Soprano XL Ice.

• In the area that will be exposed to the laser, hairs should be shaved 2-3 days before the procedure. It is important to carry out this process only with a razor. Hair removal methods such as sugaring and waxing cannot be used.
• Three days before visiting a cosmetology salon, you must refrain from sunbathing.
• First, the specialist applies a special gel to the nozzle, and after turning on the device, he begins to quickly move it over the body. The sensations of this process can be compared to light tingling and heating of the skin.
• In the first two days after hair removal, a feeling of swelling and stiffness may appear. To solve the problem, you can use emollient cosmetics on the recommendation of a specialist.
• Hair loss should be expected after 10–14 days. During the month before the next procedure, no vegetation will form in the old bulbs; you can shave this area using a machine as often as it requires. You should refrain from using other methods of hair removal for now.

Competitors of the device

Soprano XL technologies are copied in other diode lasers of the IN MOTION group - hair removal “in motion”. Devices of this class compete with this equipment and often beat it in price. The Ruikd Lamis XL laser is suitable for dynamic hair removal and laser rejuvenation, has a resource of 30 million pulses and is cheaper than Soprano XL.

For information, the Soprano XL laser is an outdated model. Alma Lasers offers a new modification of Soprano Ice Platinum, with triple wavelengths of 755, 808, 1064 nm in one pulse.

Number of sessions and intervals between them

A standard hair removal course consists of a minimum of 5–7 procedures, the interval between which depends on the area being treated. For the face this is 5-6 weeks, for the rest of the body - every 8-10. In this case, there is no need to rush, because frequent sessions, constantly affecting the bulbs, can only provoke the opposite effect.

At the end of the course, you can achieve a complete stop in hair growth, which begins to thin and fall out. But you need to be patient to see long-term results.

Patient reviews

Albina, client, Baku:

The procedure turned out to be truly painless and was carried out without anesthesia. But I can’t say that I didn’t feel anything. There was an unpleasant burning sensation that periodically increased, especially felt in the intimate areas where the skin is more tender. Compared to other lasers, the price was quite low. I, of course, expected to see the result the very next day, but nothing happened. Only then did I realize that it was too early to wait for results. After a week, my hair really started to fall out.

Anna, client, Moscow:

I started on the path to getting rid of hair back in 2012. But even a series of procedures did not lead to any result at all. But now I decided to try changing the laser, and, fortunately, I was satisfied with the effect. Soprano XL Ice even removed blonde hair, and thanks to the cooling, nothing burned me. And after 3 procedures, the hair was almost completely gone.
