Alexandrite laser vs Soprano Titanium — which to choose in Baku
The classic alexandrite laser at 755 nm (Candela GentleLase, Cynosure) is one wavelength and a stamping pulse. Soprano Titanium from Alma Lasers is the flagship — three wavelengths (alexandrite 755 + diode 810 + Nd:YAG 1064 nm) in one handpiece, a 4 cm² spot and ICE contact cooling. At Paramed (Baku) Soprano Titanium is our core platform.

The comparison in brief
ParamedClassic "alexandrite 755 nm" (Candela GentleLase, Cynosure Apogee and similar) is one wavelength and a stamping pulse with cryogenic DCD cooling. It suits light skin (I–III) with fine or light-dark hair. Soprano Titanium is the flagship of the Alma Lasers line. A single handpiece combines three wavelengths (alexandrite 755 nm + diode 810 nm + Nd:YAG 1064 nm) firing together (TriPro), and a 4 cm² sapphire tip significantly speeds up large areas. With active ICE contact cooling, SHR and In-Motion, it offers a different level of comfort and versatility compared with classic alexandrite. Contraindications apply.

Why Soprano Titanium is faster and more versatile than mono-alexandrite
Paramed- ✅ Alexandrite 755 nm fires in every Titanium impulse — selectivity preserved
- ✅ Diode 810 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm cover other phototypes and hair types
- ✅ 4 cm² spot speeds up large areas (legs, back, abdomen)
- ✅ Active ICE contact cooling — comfort during the session
- ✅ Light and dark skin handled without changing devices
- ✅ Test patch 3 AZN — try the device before committing to a course
How we tune the protocol on Soprano Titanium
ParamedAt the consultation the specialist assesses phototype on the Fitzpatrick scale, hair density, color and type, skin condition and any tan. On Soprano Titanium the protocol parameters are set for one handpiece with three wavelengths: 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 stay in the impulse, so the shift to "different skin" happens without changing devices. The 4 cm² spot makes legs, back and abdomen faster to cover in a single session.
Alexandrite vs Soprano Titanium — what's different
ParamedClassic alexandrite 755 nm uses a stamping pulse, usually 12–18 mm wide, cooled by a cryogenic DCD spray. The device fires shot by shot — one impulse, one spot. The wavelength is strictly one: 755 nm. Soprano Titanium works differently: a 4 cm² tip glides smoothly across the skin (In-Motion), a series of low-energy pulses gradually heats the follicle (SHR), and in every impulse three wavelengths fire simultaneously (TriPro: 755 + 810 + 1064 nm). Active ICE contact cooling through a sapphire tip works continuously throughout the session. That gives two main advantages: versatility across phototypes (I–VI without changing devices) and speed on large areas.
- Classic alexandrite — stamping pulse, one 755 nm wavelength, DCD spray
- Soprano Titanium — 4 cm² spot, TriPro (3 wavelengths per impulse)
- SHR + In-Motion — gradual heating in motion
- Active ICE contact cooling through a sapphire tip
- All three wavelengths (alexandrite + diode + Nd:YAG) fire together
Course plan
ParamedA 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. On Soprano Titanium large areas pass faster thanks to the 4 cm² spot — that speeds the session itself, but not the number of sessions in the course.
Alexandrite vs Soprano Titanium — pros and cons
Paramed- High selectivity for hair melanin
- Well-known wavelength with extensive clinical experience
- Works well on fine, light-to-medium-dark hair
- Suits phototypes I–III
- Only one wavelength — narrow application window
- Restrictions on dark skin (IV–VI)
- Sensitive to tan
- Stamping pulse — more passes on large areas
- Cryogenic spray cooling — brief, only just before the pulse
- Three wavelengths in one flash — TriPro
- 4 cm² spot — large areas covered faster
- Safe for all phototypes (I–VI) without changing devices
- Alexandrite 755 nm fires in every impulse
- Active ICE contact cooling through a sapphire tip
- SHR + In-Motion: less discomfort, gradual heating
- Protocol parameters tuned individually
- Industry platform price is higher than mono-alexandrite

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 — in every impulse of Soprano Platinum / Titanium (alongside diode and Nd:YAG) and as a standalone module in Soprano ICE Alexandrite.
? How does Soprano Titanium differ from mono-alexandrite? ⌄
Alexandrite gives one wavelength and a stamping pulse. Soprano Titanium combines alexandrite 755 nm with diode 810 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm in one impulse (TriPro), uses a 4 cm² spot and active ICE contact cooling. That delivers phototype versatility and speed on large areas.
? If I have light skin and fine hair — is there any point in Soprano Titanium over pure alexandrite? ⌄
Yes: the 755 nm wavelength on Soprano Titanium is the same as on classic alexandrite. Selectivity for hair melanin is preserved. On top of that you get ICE contact cooling, gradual SHR heating and a 4 cm² spot — that affects comfort and speed, not just efficacy.
? Can Soprano Titanium be used on dark skin? ⌄
Yes. On Soprano Titanium the protocol shifts toward Nd:YAG 1064 nm, which is safe for dark phototypes (IV–VI). All three wavelengths remain in the impulse, but the "share" of each is tuned to the phototype. That's safer than pure alexandrite on dark skin.
? 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.
