Good grooming is good for you. It’s healthy, it’s a form of self-love, and it can help you look your best!
However, when you have to get rid of unwanted hairs on your chin, your legs, your armpits— grooming can be torture.
- Tweezing. Created by the Marquis de Sade for his own pleasure, not yours.
- Shaving. Because scraping a sharp object against your skin is a life goal. (Not.)
- Epilation. Takes tweezing and makes it worse. Much worse.
At Regain, no pain is all gain with our laser hair reduction in Kansas City. We offer 2 different laser modalities to help patients achieve smooth, hairless skin wherever they want it, comfortably and effectively.
Request an appointment, and let our team help you see if lasers can help you reach your hair-free goals.
No More Shower Calisthenics
Shaving your legs can be quite the workout in the shower. And when you have them smooth…it only lasts a day at best before stubble comes back. With laser hair reduction, you could take a lot more time between shaving!
Our 2 laser modalities mean there’s relief for people with any skin tone.
The Amazing Motus AZ+
The Motus AZ+ cutting-edge laser system delivers safe, effective, and highly customizable treatments for a wide range of skin tones.
This Tip Is Tops
At the heart of its innovation: the Skinclusive Alexandrite tip with an Nd laser. This combination treats all skin types, including darker or more sensitive skin.
The large Motus AZ+ 20mm sapphire tip, combined with contact cooling technology, ensures that the laser can glide smoothly over the skin. The contact cooling not only enhances your comfort during the procedure, it ensures 100% energy absorption by the skin, maximizing the efficacy of each treatment session for laser hair reduction in Kansas City.
At the same time, it minimizes the risk of side effects such as burns or pigmentation issues, which are often associated with other high-energy lasers.
Moveo Technology Too
The built-in Moveo technology uses low-power pulses and multiple passes over the treatment area, resulting in a virtually painless experience. This technology makes laser hair reduction in Kansas City more comfortable for you. It reduces the intensity of each laser pulse while maintaining the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
Overall, the Motus AZ+ provides a fast, uniform, and safe treatment experience. Its innovative design prioritizes patient comfort and safety, while its advanced technology ensures that each session delivers consistent, high-quality results.
Grade A Results With Motus AZ
The Motus AZ represents a revolutionary breakthrough in laser hair reduction in Kansas City, providing safe and effective treatments for all skin types. What sets the Motus AZ apart is its integration of Alexandrite laser technology with the advanced Moveo system.
Powerful and Painless
This combination delivers fast, virtually painless treatments by emitting energy in a way that minimizes discomfort while effectively removing unwanted hair.
The Moveo technology also reduces the risk of common side effects, such as skin irritation or pigmentation changes, that can occur with traditional laser treatments.
Remarkable Accuracy and Flexibility
One of the most exciting aspects of the Motus AZ is its ability to safely treat individuals with darker skin tones. This group historically couldn’t benefit from Alexandrite laser technology because of incompatibility with their complexion.
Thanks to its enhanced safety profile and adaptability, the Motus AZ opens up long-lasting and effective hair removal options for a much wider range of patients. It’s a true game-changer in the world of laser hair removal.
Benefits of Laser Hair Reduction
In Kansas City, Regain patients enjoy numerous health and personal benefits that go beyond removing unwanted hair. From enhancing self-confidence to promoting better hygiene, laser hair reduction can have a positive impact on both physical and mental well-being.
Long-Term Results and Convenience
Unlike shaving, plucking or epilating, laser treatments can significantly reduce hair growth over time with permanent results.
After completing the recommended number of sessions, patients experience permanent hair reduction in the treated areas. This can eliminate the need for daily or weekly maintenance, saving time and effort.
Improved Skin Health
Frequently repeated hair removal methods can cause:
- Skin Irritation
- Razor Burn
- Ingrown Hairs
- Skin Injury (cuts, scrapes)
- Infections
Laser hair reduction minimizes these risks by targeting the hair follicle directly, preventing future hair growth without damaging the surrounding skin. For people who struggle with sensitive skin or chronic irritation because of frequent hair removal, this can lead to an improvement in overall skin health.
Over time, laser hair removal can also result in smoother skin, as it reduces the occurrence of ingrown hairs and rough textures.

Enhanced Personal Hygiene
Excess hair can trap sweat and bacteria—especially in areas like the underarms and bikini line. After laser hair reduction in Kansas City, most patients experience a reduction in noticeable body odor.
For patients who lead active lifestyles, laser hair removal can help reduce friction and chafing caused by hair during those physical activities.
Boost in Confidence
Unwanted body hair can be a source of embarrassment, shame, and insecurity for many people. Laser hair reduction provides a confidence-enhancing solution, allowing patients to feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.
Suddenly they can wear sleeveless tops, comfortable shorts, and swimsuits—all without worrying about constant maintenance.

The Truth Behind Laser Hair Reduction
Rather than destroying the hair itself, the laser targets and damages the follicle responsible for producing hair.
How Laser Hair Reduction Works
Laser hair reduction in Kansas City relies on intense light beams directed at individual hairs. Melanin (pigment) in the hair acts as a target, attracting the light energy.
As the laser hits the hair, the light energy converts into heat energy. This heat then travels down the hair shaft and into the hair follicle, specifically targeting the hair bulb.
The key point is that the heat damages the dermal papilla. This critical part of the follicle supplies nutrients to the hair bulb and generates new hair. Once heat destroys the dermal papilla, the hair follicle can no longer produce hair.
Although the existing hair may still be visible for a short time, it will eventually fall out. Once the hair falls out and the follicle is no longer active, the result is long-term hair reduction.
Regain’s Process
When you come to Regain for laser hair reduction in Kansas City, our first step in the Regain process is to get to know you!
Step 1: Consultation
During your personal consultation, you’ll meet one-on-one with your provider in a comfortable, judgment-free environment. This is your chance to share any concerns, and we’ll make sure you feel heard and supported every step of the way.
We’ll also examine the area you’d like treated, assessing the hair and its growth phase. If laser hair reduction is the right choice for you, we’ll discuss the details and schedule your first appointment.
Step 2: Preparation
To get the best results, you’ll need to shave the treatment area within 24 hours before your appointment. Shaving is important because it removes the hair above the skin. This allows the laser to target the hair follicle directly and deliver maximum energy.
Be sure to avoid other hair removal methods like waxing or plucking before your treatment.
These can remove the entire hair from the follicle, making it difficult for the laser to do its job.
Step 3: Treatment
Before we begin, your provider will go over your recent medical history and medications to ensure everything is in order. We may ask you to remove any clothing, jewelry, or topical products like lotions or deodorant from the treatment area. Your provider respects your privacy and comfort at all times, and appropriate medical clothing will be supplied if needed.
Your provider will carefully mark the area to be treated, ensuring precision, typically performing the procedure in 4×4 sections to ensure we thoroughly cover every inch.
During the treatment, you may feel a warm massaging sensation against your skin. Most patients find it almost painless!
Step 4: Aftercare
Laser hair reduction in Kansas City typically requires multiple sessions to achieve the best results. Most people need around 4 to 6 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart.
For facial hair, we recommend treatments every 2 to 4 weeks. For mid-body treatments, we usually space sessions from 6 to 8 weeks apart. Clients receive lower-body treatments every 8 to 10 weeks.
After your treatments, we recommend the following aftercare tips to keep your skin healthy and ensure the best results:
- Drink plenty of water before and after your treatment to keep your skin properly hydrated.
- Apply cold compresses to the treated area for 10 to 15 minutes, several times a day, to reduce swelling and soothe your skin.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least a week. Your skin will be more sensitive, so it’s important to use SPF 30+ daily on treated areas.
- Wear loose-fitting clothes, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses to protect your skin from the sun for 7-14 days after treatment.
- Apply aloe vera or a soothing cream to help with any redness or irritation.
- Refrain from hot baths, showers, or swimming for 7 to 14 days to prevent further irritation.
- Avoid tight or restrictive garments over the treated area for two weeks to let your skin heal.
- Hold off on shaving until redness, swelling, and itching have subsided.
By following these guidelines, you’ll give your skin the best chance to heal and enjoy long-lasting, smooth results!
