Long-Term Hair Reduction
Shaving and plucking can become an endless cycle of pain and time-consuming maintenance. You remove the hair, deal with irritation or missed spots, and repeat the process again days later.
Laser hair removal in Leawood offers a longer-lasting approach by targeting the follicles responsible for new hair growth. At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, we use advanced laser technology designed for comfort, precision, and effective treatment across a wide range of skin tones.
Whether you want smoother legs, underarms, facial skin, or want to reduce maintenance for another area, our team creates a treatment plan based on your hair growth patterns, skin tone, and goals.

Made for Different Skin Tones
Laser hair removal in Leawood at Regain uses Motus technology, which has key features that make treatment more comfortable than traditional laser platforms. Moveo technology keeps the handpiece in motion as it gradually delivers energy to the treatment area. Contact cooling also helps protect the skin throughout the process.
Instead of the sharp snapping sensation associated with some lasers, many patients describe the treatment as feeling similar to a warm spoon moving across the skin.
Smoother Skin With Less Irritation
Shaving and waxing can leave behind razor burn, bumps, and irritation. Laser hair removal reduces the need for frequent hair removal, giving your skin more time to stay calm and smooth.
As hair growth decreases, patients may also notice fewer ingrown hairs and less irritation between treatments.
Long-Term Convenience
Hair removal methods like shaving and waxing take up a lot of your time. There are razors to replace, appointments to schedule, irritated skin to calm, and regrowth to manage.
Laser treatment targets the follicle itself, helping reduce future hair growth directly instead of temporarily removing visible strands. After completing your initial series, many patients need only occasional maintenance, making laser hair removal a convenient long-term alternative to traditional methods.
Hair Reduction for Face and Body
Laser hair removal can address unwanted hair across many areas of the face and body. Your treatment plan depends on the location, amount of hair, growth cycle, and your personal preferences. Read more below to explore some common areas patients choose to treat at Regain with laser hair removal in Leawood.
Face, Underarms, and Bikini Area
Small areas can create some of the biggest maintenance headaches.
Laser hair removal can target unwanted hair along the upper lip, chin, sideburns, and other sensitive facial areas. We also commonly treat the underarms and bikini line, where frequent shaving can contribute to razor bumps, irritation, and ingrown hairs.
Treatment timing varies by area, because hair grows at different rates across the body. Your provider builds a schedule designed around the hair-growth cycle for each specific area you treat.
Legs, Arms, Back, and Chest
Larger areas like the legs, arms, back, and chest can require significant time to shave or wax regularly. Laser treatment allows our team to cover these broad areas efficiently while targeting the follicles responsible for regrowth.
The Motus platform has in-motion technology that helps providers move smoothly across larger treatment areas. As your treatment series progresses, hair typically thins out and may grow back finer and lighter, reducing how often you need to manage it at home.
Treating the legs, arms, back, and chest typically requires longer appointments than the face, underarms, or bikini area. During your consultation, your provider can give you more information on how much time to set aside for each session.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Your hair does not grow all at once. Individual follicles move through growth, transition, resting, and shedding phases independently of the surrounding hair.
Laser treatment has the greatest effect during the active growth phase, when the hair contains enough pigment for the laser to target effectively.
Multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart allow us to treat new groups of active follicles as they enter that growth stage. Most patients need a series of approximately 6 to 8 treatments for comprehensive reduction.
Regain uses Motus AZ and AZ+ technology designed to provide a more comfortable laser experience. The handpiece stays in motion and uses contact cooling, even as the laser energy gets delivered into the skin.
Most patients feel warmth rather than a sharp snapping sensation. Many describe it as similar to a warm spoon moving across the treatment area.
To prepare for your appointment for RF microneedling in Kansas City, Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics recommends:
- Avoiding any topical agents that might increase skin sensitivity (including but not limited to exfoliants, retinoids, topical antibiotics, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid) for 1 week
- Not taking blood-thinning or anti-inflammatory medications and supplements (including but not limited to ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E, and fish oil). Consult your doctor if you’re taking these by prescription
- Avoiding direct sun exposure for 2 weeks
- Not shaving, waxing, or epilating
Laser treatment can permanently destroy targeted hair follicles, creating significant long-term hair reduction. However, dormant follicles or hormonal changes may cause some hair to reappear later.
Any regrowth after a completed treatment series is often lighter and thinner than before. Some patients choose yearly or occasional maintenance appointments to preserve their results.
Motus AZ and AZ+ technology can safely treat a broad range of skin tones. However, hair color still matters, because the laser depends on pigment to identify and target the follicle.
White, gray, very light blonde, and some red hairs contain less pigment, making them more resistant to treatment. During your consultation for laser hair removal in Leawood, your provider evaluates your hair and skin to determine the possible effects of treatment for your specific skin and hair.
