Soprano ICE Platinum Alternative: DEWEON 4LD Diode Laser with 4 Wavelengths

The Soprano ICE Platinum from Alma Lasers was introduced in 2016 as the first system with a Trio applicator that combines 755, 810 and 1064 nm in one handpiece. Many studios still work with it today, others look for it used or are considering which device to switch to. If you are searching for "buy Soprano ICE Platinum", "used Soprano ICE Platinum" or a Soprano ICE Platinum alternative, you will find the comparison here with SIACSKIN's DEWEON 4LD: four wavelengths (755, 808, 940 and 1064 nm), 6,000 W at the handpiece, ice-sapphire cooling down to –50 °C, AI skin analysis, new from the manufacturer in Düsseldorf and financeable from approx. €470 per month.

What the step from Trio to four wavelengths brings

With 755, 810 and 1064 nm, the ICE Platinum's Trio applicator addresses different structures of the hair follicle. The DEWEON 4LD adds 940 nm, a wavelength that penetrates deeper than 808 nm and reaches deep-seated, coarse hair on legs, back and beard. In addition there are larger spots up to 15 × 40 mm and up to 30 Hz for fast work on large areas. The SIA AI recognizes skin and hair type and suggests the parameters, which ensures reproducible results when staff change. More on this in the article Laser hair removal technologies.

Buy used or finance new?

A used ICE Platinum can look inexpensive at first glance. Before buying, check the year of manufacture, service history, condition of the applicators, availability of spare parts and whether service or warranty still exists. With the DEWEON 4LD you get a new device with a 2-year warranty, introduction and service from Düsseldorf, financeable through our house bank, with no down payment on request. What to look out for in the comparison is explained in the article Laser device used or new.

When which device fits better

  • Soprano ICE Platinum: if you already work with the Alma SHR method, are looking for a device with FDA clearance for skin types I–VI and find a used device in good condition with service.
  • DEWEON 4LD: if you want four wavelengths, 6,000 W at the handpiece, large spots, AI-assisted parameters and a new device with warranty and financing directly from the manufacturer.
  • Many clients with very dark skin: For this we recommend the AlexDUAL UFO with Nd:YAG 1064 nm for skin types I to VI.

What always comes with SIACSKIN

  • Manufacturer from Düsseldorf: development, service and spare parts from Germany, CE under MDR.
  • 2-year warranty on the device, introduction and training through the SIAC Akademie included.
