Drop the razor. The Alma Soprano ICE Platinum removes hair on any area — virtually painlessly, on every skin tone, even tanned — with zero downtime. Sessions start at $49.
Older hair-removal lasers fired one hot pulse at a time and were off-limits for dark or tanned skin. The Soprano ICE Platinum warms the follicle gradually while chilling the surface, so treatment feels like a warm massage, works on every skin tone, and can be done any month of the year.
At Serene Med Spa in Barboursville, our Alma Soprano ICE Platinum treats everything from the upper lip to full legs and backs — a full set of legs takes about 10 minutes. Because hair grows in cycles, most people need 5–8 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart for the smoothest, longest-lasting result. Sessions start at $49, and every 6-session package includes the sixth session free. Diolaze XL and Alma Harmony are also available for specific areas. Your plan is physician-guided and matched to your skin and hair; individual results vary.
Full or lower legs — one of the most popular areas for smooth, lasting results.
Quick to treat and a favorite for ditching daily shaving.
Comfortable, precise treatment for the bikini line and beyond.
Gentle treatment for the upper lip, chin, and other facial areas.
Great for larger areas that are hard to manage on your own.
Smooth the forearms and upper arms for an even, polished look.
We check your skin type and hair, confirm the Soprano is the right fit (it almost always is), and map out your series and package.
The cooled applicator glides over the area in a sweeping motion. Most people feel gentle warmth — no numbing cream needed. Small areas take minutes; legs about 10.
Shave as directed, skip waxing and plucking, and come back every 6–8 weeks so each hair cycle is caught in its growth phase.
Hair returns finer and sparser after each visit; by the end of your series most areas need only an occasional touch-up. Results vary.
The right wavelength and settings for your skin are what make laser hair removal both safe and effective. At Serene, treatments run on the Alma Soprano ICE Platinum under the supervision of our board-certified physicians, so you get comfortable, consistent results whether your skin is fair, deep, or freshly tanned.

Barboursville treats with the Alma Soprano ICE Platinum — three laser wavelengths in a single applicator, delivered with a sweeping in-motion technique and a contact-cooled tip. It’s the reason our patients describe treatment as a warm massage rather than the snapping they remember from older lasers.
Alexandrite (755 nm), diode (810 nm), and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) fire together, so fine, coarse, light-brown, and deep-follicle hair are all treated in the same session.
Instead of one hot pulse per spot, the applicator sweeps continuously and warms the follicle gradually — effective on the hair, gentle on the skin, and fast: upper and lower legs in about 10 minutes.
A sapphire tip chills the surface while the laser works underneath, protecting the skin and keeping the sensation comfortable without numbing cream.
Safe for Fitzpatrick types I–VI and cleared for tanned skin, so you can treat year-round instead of hiding from the sun for months.
Mild pinkness for an hour or two at most. Go straight back to work, the gym, or the pool.
Small applicators reach ears, nostrils, and the bikini line; the large tip covers backs and legs quickly.
Photographed six weeks after the treatment noted. Hair grows in cycles, so a series of 5–8 sessions gives the smoothest, longest-lasting result.

Proper aftercare reduces irritation and protects your skin while it heals for the best, longest-lasting results.
Results: Normal effects usually improve within hours to a few days; consistency across sessions gives the best results.

Virtually not. The applicator sweeps continuously and its ICE tip cools the skin, so most patients describe a warm, massage-like feeling rather than the rubber-band snap of older lasers. No numbing cream is needed.
Yes. Soprano ICE Platinum is cleared for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI) and for tanned skin, which is why we can treat year-round. Settings are adjusted to your skin tone at every visit.
Typically 5–8 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart, because hair grows in cycles and the laser only affects follicles in their growth phase. We’ll give you a personal estimate at your consultation.
Upper lip or underarms: a few minutes. Upper and lower legs: about 10 minutes. Back or full legs plus bikini: roughly 30 minutes.
Sessions start at $49, and every 6-session package includes the sixth session free. See the full area-by-area list on our pricing page.
No. You may notice mild pinkness for an hour or two. You can go back to work, the gym, or the pool right away.
Anywhere with unwanted hair: face, upper lip, chin, neck, underarms, arms, chest, back, abdomen, bikini and Brazilian, legs, feet, even ears and nostrils.
Shave the area 12–24 hours before, skip waxing, plucking, or threading for 4 weeks beforehand, and avoid self-tanner on the area. Tanned skin is fine; we adjust settings.
