Laser Hair Removal in Kansas City

Certain laser hair removal devices can cause pain and discomfort, but we use MOTUS AY and AZ+ technology to provide the most pain-free laser hair removal in Kansas City. It’s safe and effective for light and dark skin tones and feels like a cold spoon on your skin.

The Motus AY and Motus AZ+ Laser Hair Removal platform uses a dual in-motion, pain-free technology that permanently removes hair in as few as 6 treatments! All hair has 3 cycles, (antigen/telogen/catagen) and the hair must be in its “growth phase” (antigen cycle) in order for the follicle to be destroyed by the laser. Therefore, we recommend multiple treatments spaced far enough apart to reach all cycles of growth—usually every 4 to 6 weeks.

• Face: 2 to 4 weeks
• Mid Body: 6 to 8 weeks
• Lower Body: 8 to 10 weeks

Motus AY and AZ+ Laser Hair Removal is safe and effective for all skin types. White, grey, and red hair types are resistant to the treatment because they offer no melanin for the laser to access the follicle.

Most patients will notice a significant reduction in hair growth by their third treatment.

Laser hair removal permanently destroys hair follicles, but best results may require a round of multiple treatments and yearly touch-up appointments. Any regrowth after a full round of treatment tends to be lighter in color and less dense than pre-treatment hair.

To prepare for laser hair removal in Kansas City, we recommend:

• Limiting your sun exposure
• Shaving 24 to 48 hours before treatment
• Cleansing your skin of any oils, creams, or lotions before your appointment

Yes, laser hair removal is safe when provided by a trained professional who can skillfully operate the equipment and adapt the treatment to different skin tones and hair colors.

Your provider will review your recent medical history and current medications prior to your treatment. You may be asked to disrobe or remove any jewelry or topical creams, lotions, or deodorants. The area will be evaluated and marked by your laser provider. The treatment will be performed in 4×4 sections to ensure all areas are fully treated according to protocol.

Following your laser hair removal treatment, we recommend using the Calming Cream by Epionce to ensure your skin is well hydrated and protected and to reduce any mild skin reactions. You may continue shaving the area(s) in between sessions. Please do not tweeze or pull out any hairs, as this may affect the hair cycles and reduce your results.

If skin is exposed to the sun, apply IMAGE MD Clinical SPF 50 to the area. This formulation ensures a high level of active physical sunblock to provide the best protection to your skin during your series of treatments. Avoid harsh chemicals, exfoliants, and direct sun exposures for 1 week prior to and following your appointment.

Yes, please continue to shave the area(s) after and between treatments. Do not tweeze, wax, or use depilatory creams before or between treatments, as this may affect the hair cycles and reduce your results.

It is safe to do laser hair removal during the summer if you continue to protect your skin using SPF (recommended: IMAGE MD Clinical SPF 50) before and after your treatments, and you do not have an active tan or sunburn.
