Laser Hair Removal in Kansas City

Laser hair removal is a simple, yet rewarding procedure that can reduce unwanted hair from the face and body.

One of the most frequently performed non-surgical cosmetic procedures in the U.S. is laser hair removal. Men and women who want to enjoy smooth skin without the hassle of daily shaving, waxing, or tweezing have made laser hair removal a popular choice at our practice. Associated Plastic Surgeons offers laser hair removal in Kansas City using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for comfortable, effective treatments.

The APS Advantage

Associated Plastic Surgeons of Kansas City is committed to providing you with professional care that you can trust. That’s why we have assembled a qualified staff of licensed estheticians for your safety and comfort. You can trust that your procedure will be performed accurately and effectively to provide you with the most aesthetically pleasing results.

Understanding Your Treatment

This procedure uses photodynamic light energy to target the dark pigment in hair follicles. Once the follicle is heated, it is disabled, and hair re-growth is diminished. Only hair that is in the active phase is affected, so multiple sessions are required to achieve complete results.

Our patients in the Kansas City metro area request laser hair removal to address unwanted hair on areas such as:

  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Back
  • Chest
  • Bikini area
  • Face

Laser hair removal is a great cosmetic treatment for men who want to minimize stubble and look polished and professional day after day. Many people also combine laser hair removal with other skin care treatments to pamper their newly hair-free skin.

What to Expect

One of our licensed Kansas City estheticians will evaluate your skin and hair color to determine if laser hair removal will work for you. The laser handpiece is carefully guided over the treatment area, delivering the laser energy to the hair follicles without harm to the skin. Most people typically describe this process as a light stinging sensation comparable to a rubber band snap. The total procedure time varies depending on the size and number of areas treated.

After laser hair removal, you can return to your normal activities. You may notice some redness or sensitivity immediately after treatment. These side effects are temporary and should fade over the next several hours. The treated hair falls out within a week or so, and hair that was inactive during treatment should grow in. Subsequent treatment sessions are needed until the desired results are achieved.
