If you've avoided laser hair removal because of pain, skin tone concerns, or fear of pigmentation changes, you're not alone.
At Monarch Ideal Care, we use the Alma Soprano ICE— an advanced laser system designed for comfort, safety, and effectiveness across a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin.
We proudly serve Fairlawn, Akron, Montrose-Ghent, Wallhaven, West Akron, Copley, and surrounding communities.
Not all laser systems are created equal. Alma Soprano ICE was chosen specifically for:
Pain reduction & comfort (ICETM cooling technology)
Gradual heat delivery, not harsh bursts
Safer treatment for darker skin tones
Medical-grade precision in a physician-led setting
This technology allows hair follicles to be targeted effectively while minimizing skin trauma.
Many traditional lasers carry higher risks for burns or hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones.
Soprano ICE uses advanced technology that allows us to treat Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI with added safety considerations.

(chin, upper lip, sideburns)
Medium Area — $200

Brazilian — $400
Large Area — $500

Your consultation helps determine:
which areas are appropriate
expected number of sessions
and treatment spacing

Treatments are typically well-tolerated, even by patients sensitive to pain
ICE cooling helps protect the skin surface
Sessions are relatively quick depending on area size
Mild redness is common and usually temporary
Laser hair removal works best on actively growing hair, so multiple sessions are required for optimal results.
Laser hair removal at Monarch Ideal Care is provided in a medical office, not a high-volume spa.
That means:
careful skin assessment
conservative settings when needed
clear education and expectations
attention to skin health — not just hair removal
Most people require multiple sessions spaced weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and laser targets active growth phases.
Alma Soprano ICE is known for improved comfort. Most patients describe it as warm with minimal discomfort.
Yes. Soprano ICE is specifically designed to reduce risks associated with treating darker skin, though individualized assessment is essential.
Avoid tanning, sun exposure, and waxing before treatment. Shaving the area is usually recommended—details are reviewed at consult.
Yes. We treat both women and men. Pricing is based on area size.
