Price of the original Alma Soprano ICE Platinum in 2021:
The original Alma Soprano ICE Platinum costs around U$D 80.000 dollars + taxes.
The Titanium version should be over 100k depending on the country.
It’s important to know that the price is going to vary depending on what country you are in.
Other factors like exclusive dealerships with local distributors may affect the final price of one of these machines.
In the US for example, you can get an original Alma hair removal device for less than 80 thousand dollars + taxes.
In general, in Latin America and Europe, you won’t be able to get a new one for any less than 100 thousand dollars.
After knowing that, we can be sure about something. Alma Soprano ICE Platinum price is quite expensive. It doesn’t matter where you are.
In some countries (like in the US), there is a well developed “second hand” market where you might be able to get a decent unit for less than U$D 50.000 dollars. But that’s another story.
Advantages on buying original Alma Soprano ICE Platinum machines:
Many. It’s definitely a privilege to be able to buy an original Alma Soprano ICE Platinum. As we said before, they are expensive and the price makes it not affordable for most beauticians.
The main advantage is that the machine’s performance is 100% predictable, not to mention the warranty.
Alma Laser tech comes with an amazing clients support included that it shouldn’t be taken for granted, specially if you are not an experienced user.
Among others, these are the most important advantages of getting an original Alma hair removal machine:
- Amazing predictable laser diode’s performance. Around 30 million shots minimum.
- Full warranty and diode coverage for a year.
- Long lasting materials. You can buy on of these machines, use it for a year or two, and sell it whilst it still looks and works like new.
- Outstanding results and proven efficiency.
Yes, the Alma Soprano Ice Platinum price might be a bit intimidating, but what you get what you paid for. A 100% reliable triple length hair removal machine.

Alma Soprano Ice Platinum diodes and laser stack PRICES IN 2021
Again, we want to remind you that prices may vary depending on what country you are in.
Original Alma Soprano ICE Platinum diodes and laser stacks replacement cost around U$D 25.000 dollars.
In some countries, you can replace it for less than that, and sometimes it is possible to pay in instalments. That’s really helpful when it’s an option.
We don’t need you say that it’s expensive, no matter where you are.
Disadvantages of getting a new original Alma Soprano ICE Platinum
To be honest, there are no disadvantages. However, there is a risk, and it’s a big one.
The risk of making a bad investment. The risk of not being able to get your money back.
As we said before, Alma Soprano ICE Platinum Price is so high, that it makes it both difficult and challenging to get your money back within the first 2 years of usage.
The machine’s performance and results couldn’t be better, but in most Latin American countries, it’s definitely not the wisest choice in terms of investment. When your country has a weak and unstable currency, it can be quite difficult to update prices frequently because if you do that, then you won’t get many customers.
You are looking for a reliable hair removal machine, but you wouldn’t buy it if you knew that the chances of getting your money back are slim.
In a nutshell, we reckon that investing in an original Alma Soprano ICE Platinum in 2021, most likely, it’s a bad move.
ALTERNATIVes, copies, replicas and imitations of theALMA SOPRANO ICE PLATINUM in 2021
We’ve already talked about alternatives to this machine on this post. However, you’ll find more useful information here if you are thinking of replicas and imitations.
Alma Soprano ICE Platinum price made us consider different options on the market.
Before getting started, let’s answer a few FAQ.
What’s the difference between REPLICAS and IMITATIONS?
Let’s be clear. A REPLICA is a COPY, thus illegal.
An IMITATION is something else. To imitate is to compete with cheaper alternatives using your own brand. Your own design. Imitations are completely legal. Imitations make markets healthier and competitive.
Is it worth buying an Original Alma Soprano Ice Platinum machine despite the price?
Yes, with no hesitation. Undoubtedly, the Alma Soprano Ice Platinum is the best laser hair removal machine on the market (unless we consider the Alma Soprano Ice Titanium).
The problem lies in it’s price.
An Original Alma costs around 1000% more than a replica or an imitation. It’s not just more expensive, it’s on another level.
We need to remember that it’s not just about being able to buy it. It’s not about having a big budget. It’s about making a wise investment.
If you are planning to buy a new hair removal machine, then you should be asking yourself these questions:
- Are you able to charge your clients for an original Alma Soprano Ice Platinum treatment ?
- Would they pay more for a laser hair removal treatment if they knew that we are using an Original Alma?
After thinking about that, I’m sure it will be tempting to think about getting an Alma Soprano Ice Platinum replica or imitation instead.
There are some VERY good alternatives to the original Alma on the market. We will talk about that later.
Are replicas dangerous or potentially harmful?
This question might be a bit more complicated to answer. We can’t and we won’t generalise. There are many Chinese brands producing Alma Soprano ICE Platinum replicas and imitations (or very similar products) and they are quite different from each other.
Some of them are good, and some others are not.
However, we want to be clear about something, NONE of them are dangerous or harmful.
From a dermatologist’s perspective, laser hair removal treatment is not particularly healthy. It actually happens be damaging to the skin, after all, it involves removing healthy tissues (we’ll explain this later).
The potential dangers for the skin are the same, no matter what kind of laser hair removal machine we use.
Apart from that, most replicas and imitations do have European Union and FDA certificates.
If you are planning to buy one of these machines, you shouldn’t be concerned about the potential skin damage. You should be wondering if they are actually capable of doing their job right. If they actually remove hair.
There are 2 or 3 brands that do a great job. Again, it is important to remember that you are paying about 10 times less than what an Original Alma Soprano Ice Platinum equipment is worth. So, you can’t expect them to be exactly the same.
We will compare these alternatives later in this article.
Do Imitations and replicas really have triple wavelength Alma Soprano ICE Platinum Tech?
Some of them do. others don’t. We are going to tell you which ones work with that technology.
What are the real risks of buying an Alma Replica or Imitation?
There aren’t real risks. The reality is that most Latin American countries DO NOT CONTROL the usage of these devices. Whereas in Europe, if you have EU Certificates there are no problems either. As we said before, many of these equipments do have these certifications (FDA and UE) so they are 100% allowed.
Why do some authorities prohibit certain imitations or replicas?
Well, that depends on each country.
In some places, they forbid them because of copyright and branding legislation. They look so similar to the originals that it shouldn’t be a surprise. In any case, it’s not advisable to use them with Alma Soprano ICE Platinum logos.
Paperwork usually takes a lot of time and money. An average Importer usually does this paperwork only if he knows that he will be able to trade large quantities. That is usually uncertain.

Without any doubts, the original Alma is better than any replica or imitation. That’s obvious, they are not even comparable to their copies.
But as we said before, they are not affordable for all, and they could be a really bad decision in terms of investment.
PRICES OF THE ALMA SOPRANO ICE PLATINUM REPLICAS AND COPIES
Replicas cost around U$D 16.000 and 35.000 dollars. These are not China FOB prices. This numbers include shipping costs, taxes and other wages that you need to incur when you import this kind of machinery.
Depending on custom policies in your country, these figures may vary a lot.
These machines are heavy, and it’s not cheap to import them.

Less money, less stress, easier decision.

Best Chinese Replicas of Alma Soprano Ice Platinum on the market
We will briefly analyse one by one, we won’t into much detail because we know that they already have a certain reputation on the market.
You might find this L3 video to be quite useful, it’s all about the new titanium.
Brand | Price with import costs included | Power | Tiple Wavelenght | Design | Good or not? |
LASERCONN | U$D 18.000 | 900W | 100% Exact | ||
GOMECY | U$D 19.000 | 800W | Several Differences | ||
KM WEIFANG | U$D 14.000 | Many available | Handle is different | ||
LEFIS | U$D 20.000 | 1000W1200W | Handle and shell are different | ||
WEIFANG | U$D 12.000 | 600W | Several differences |
We had the opportunity to try them all and we have been getting feedback from our clients for years.
We certainly have a formed opinion.
LASERCONN: Around U$D 14.000 dollars.
It is the most similar replica on the market. They copied absolutely EVERYTHING. We could almost say it’s a perfect copy.
Most of these brands were able to copy it’s shell and outer shape quite well. They all look quite similar to the original Alma Soprano Ice Platinum. but what Laserconn achieved is unique: The handle looks exactly the same as the original Alma handpiece.
In fact we hear that their diodes can be used as a replacement for original Alma machines because they have exactly the same size and shape. But we cannot assure you that information.
The software they use looks similar to the original one and works amazingly well.
Laserconn is a reliable brand, with excellent quality diodes and a high durability laser. It has durable materials and most users are very satisfied after using them.
- Advantages of the Laserconn: Without any doubt, it’s similarity to the original. It is the only one that has a 100% replica Handle. Also the duration of the diodes, the diodes are of very good quality. Some users assure that they last for up to 30 million shots. That is impressive.
- Disadvantages: The price. Laserconn is one of the most expensive Brands in China.
GOMECY: Around U$D 16.000 dollars.
It is an interesting replica of the Alma Soprano Platinum ICE. The users we met were not VERY satisfied with the length of the diodes, but the truth is that it looks aesthetically very good.
- Gomecy Advantages: The price. It is one of the cheapest laser hair removal machines in China.
- Disadvantages: The duration of the diodes doesn’t seem to be the best and their customer service is not very good either according to their clients.
LEFIS: Around U$D 16.000 dollars
Excellent machine according to all the users we met. It does it’s job amazingly well and it’s
However, we have to say a few things about this brand.
LEFIS has exclusive distribution contracts in several Latin American countries. That increases its price and makes it the most expensive option on the market.
Some people think that LEFIS it’s expensive because it’s just better. That’s not true, actually, in China it costos as much as a Laserconn. But depending on which country you are in, the price can vary greatly.
- Advantages of the LEFIS: The power ( in Watts) of this machine is one of the highest on the market. This does not necessarily imply that the treatment’s outcome will be the best, but there are many users that like when they see this. It has high quality materials and components.
- Disadvantages: The Price. Those deals that LEFIS has with exclusive distributors make its final price and its after sales service become a much more expensive alternative. When in fact, it is quite similar to the Laserconn or the KM.
KM WEIFANG: Around U$D 13.000 dollars.
This one is probably our favorite Alma Soprano Platinum ICE replica from this list. Most of these brands are good options but KM adds a plus. It’s similar to the LEFIS machine but with an excellent price and after sales service.
Excellent laser hair removal machine. If you don’t mind having a REPLICA, it’s an excellent option. Would be ideal to use it without placing the logos stickers on the front, just to make sure we are not braking any copyright laws.
- Advantages of KM WEIFANG: The price. The price-quality ratio is the best of all. Furthermore, the software is very similar to the original system. The customer service is also very good.
- Disadvantages: If you are looking for an exact replica, it’s handpiece has a different shape, it is similar to the LEFIS’s. In that case, your only alternative would be a Laserconn.
WEIFANG: Around U$D 11.000 dollars.
It’s name might generates certain confusion, because it’s similar to the previous one. WEIFANG happens to be a Chinese city, and obviously both manufacturers are located in the same place.
This is the weakest hair removal REPLICA of all. It is the most affordable, but sometimes what’s cheap ends up being expensive cause it doesn’t work properly.
- Advantages of the Weifang: It is undoubtedly one of the cheapest Alma Soprano Platinum ICE Replicas on the market.
- Disadvantages: The length of the diodes and the quality of the materials were the criticisms that we heard the most. Software is really a headache.
BEST CHINESE IMITATIONS OF ALMA SOPRANO ICE PLATINUM ON THE MARKET

Talking about imitations is less odd than covering replicas.. Imitations as we said before, are good in terms of healthy competition.
We want cheap affordable alternatives for everything we buy everyday in every field. Laser hair removal machines are no exception. These are the most famous Chinese imitations to the Alma Soprano ICE Platinum on the market:
KEY-LASER: Without any doubt, our client’s favourite. We worked with them on more than one occasion and their customers service is fantastic. The device is reliable, it uses high quality materials, and the performance is outstanding. KeyLaser is a trustworthy company, not only for laser hair removal equipment but also for PicoSure, ND YAG and Cryolipolysis technlogy.
ADSS: The best known on the market. It’s a really good choice as well and they also offer a great variety of products. ADSS has an excellent customers service. However, we can’t recommend it as much as Key-laser as they have many exclusive distributors in Latin America and that makes their price too high. They do the same thing as LEFIS.
This also results in an expensive after-sales service, since you can only check your equipment with itss official distributors. If they didn’t have these exclusive partnership deals, it would probably be the best alternative to the Alma Soprano Ice Platinum if you weren’t looking for replicas.
ORIENTAL LASER: Undoubtedly, the worst option among these three. It is expensive and the quality of the components is very similar to the previous ones. Something quite difficult to understand as they are probably the least popular.
We do have to say that it’s quality is not far from the previous ones, the price is the inexplicable component of the formula.
CONCLUSION, TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We really hope don’t disturb anyone with this post. We know that Alma Laser must HATE IMITATIONS and REPLICAS even more.
We want to be clear about this, the Original version of the Alma Soprano Platinum ICE is undoubtedly the best. There is no argument about it.
We did not do a complete analysis of this equipment because EVERYONE knows it and because it is obviously Excellent. But the price is not just a bit more expensive than it’s alternatives, it’s not 100% more expensive, or 500% more expensive (it is even more).
Our goal is to provide information to those who really can’t afford to buy original equipment. Focusing your search can help a lot, and we hope we helped you to do that. If you have any suggestion for the post, do not hesitate to leave us a comment or contact us.
