Soprano is a diode laser at 810 nm it's very safe and effective for all skin types.It's low energy that gradually builds up also there's a cooling tip to keep the skin cool and protected.There are much less risks of burning with this machine.I would definitely use this for darker skins to be safe and get results.I wouldn't recommend you carry on with your IPL if you have a darker skin.
Hope this is of help :-)
I am also a laser tech and our clinic now uses the Soprano which is fantastic as it's pain free for clients and risks of burning are very rare. It's very safe and effective and had a cooling nib which keeps the epidermis cool and protected. The last thing that you would want is laser right now but i recommend looking into which laser the clinic is using and go for a safe pain free one.
Hope you heal soon :-)
Also sorry that this has happened to you as it's not a nice thing to happen to anyone. I am also a laser tech and have worked with lasers for many years so have seen this happen before when a colleague of mine burnt someone with an IPL machine.Our Clinic now uses a Soprano machine which is absolutely fantastic as it's pain free for clients and very very safe to use. It has a cooling nib which cools your epidermis down so risks of burning are very rare.Probably the last thing on your mind is having laser again but if you ever decide you would like it in the future i suggest you go somewhere that has a Soprano.
Hope all heals well :-)
