Supplies & running costs

Supplies & running costs: Cocoon Medical Primelase Excellence/HR vs Alma Soprano Titanium
Attribute	Cocoon Medical Primelase Excellence/HR	Alma Soprano Titanium
Supplies & restrictions	No per-shot consumables; ongoing costs limited to gel and eventual handpiece/diode service — near-zero marginal treatment cost, the whole point of high-power diode ownership. Source not documented View running-cost details	Read supply costs & requirements Alma’s 2022 Soprano Titanium brochure states no consumables and lists a facial-tip accessory. Budget separately for ordinary clinic supplies, replacement accessories and service. Accessory price observation, checked October 6, 2026: Alpha Beauty Laser advertises a facial tip for USD 420 (crossed-out seller price USD 450) and claims compatibility with Titanium and Platinum handles. This is one third-party accessory offer, not Alma MSRP, an authorized-dealer quote, a per-treatment cost or independently confirmed compatibility. Shipping and tax are not established. The previously cited GoLaser USB shot-dongle description concerns Ellipse equipment, not Soprano. It does not establish a Titanium treatment-card requirement. Confirm any usage or transfer terms for the specific unit. Dealer quote · Oct 6, 2026 View running-cost details
