Procedure
Laser hair removal is a safe, effective process of permanently reducing or eliminating unwanted hair on almost any part of the body except near the eyes. AesthetiCare owns four FDA-approved lasers for hair removal in Kansas City & Liberty alone.
AesthetiCare owns 4 FDA-cleared laser hair removal systems near you in Ward Parkway and North Kansas City in Liberty. We will choose the most effective device and treatment plan for your particular hair color and skin type. The laser deposits heat into the bulge of the hair, which destroys the base of the follicle permanently. A series of treatments are required to account for the fact that hair can only be destroyed in the active growth stage.
On average, 6 to 12 laser hair removal treatments at our Kansas City or Liberty office provides the maximum results.
15-60 minutes depending on treatment area.
Minimal to none.
While most clients experience maximum results after 4 to 8 treatments, we encourage our clients to have the number of laser hair removal treatments that achieve their desired results.
How much hair you have depends on how many hairs are in their active growth cycle and how long that cycle lasts. Hair revolves through three phases of growth: anagen, catagen, and telogen. Hairs in the anagen phase can be treated with laser hair removal devices.
Many people don’t realize that the hair growth cycle plays a huge role in laser hair removal treatments. In addition, factors such as age, ethnicity, medications, and more can influence how fast your hair moves through the three phases. Since the cycle varies from person to person, our specialists will work with you to create a customized laser hair removal treatment plan.
Also known as the “active growing” phase, during this phase the hair bulb is still intact. Your hair also grows in multiple directions—upward and downward. Since the bulb is closest to the surface of your skin at this time, it contains an abundance of melanin. As a result, laser hair removal can more effectively target hair follicles in the anagen phase.
The catagen phase is a brief rest period that happens between anagen and telogen. At this point, the lower part of the hair stops growing but hasn’t shed. The body also absorbs the lower third of the hair follicle.
Lastly, the telogen phase marks the resting period when the hair bulb disappears, which creates “club hair.” Club hair then either falls out or hair entering the anagen phase pushes it out. Since not all follicles are in the same phase at once, it is very important that you get multiple laser hair removal treatments to target each follicle during the anagen phase.
Laser hair removal uses light to target the melanin that lies in the hair follicle’s growth centers. From there, the light converts to heat to destroy the follicle at the source. Without its growth center, hair follicles can no longer grow in the treatment area(s).
We always recommend getting multiple laser hair removal treatments simply because the treatment targets the active phase of the hair growth cycle. When hair is in the resting phase (telogen), it can’t properly absorb light or generate enough heat to cause damage to the growth center.
As long as you follow your customized laser hair removal plan, you’ll gain long-lasting results. Believe it or not, laser hair removal is effective in eliminating 80 to 90% of hair within the treated areas. Even if you notice hair growing back, it is typically finer and less noticeable than it was before. For most people, that means there is no longer a need for daily shaving or even monthly waxing to achieve the ultimate silky smooth look.
Laser hair removal is safe for most skin tones and hair textures (even darker skin). Since AesthetiCare is equipped with four different lasers, we can ensure that each client receives personalized care. Because our laser hair removal treatments are customized to each person, the treatment can effectively remove hair on all body parts, including the:
Your AesthetiCare laser hair removal specialist will provide you with detailed preparation instructions prior to your first appointment at our Kansas City or Liberty office. You will be advised to avoid all hair removal methods other than shaving (e.g. tweezing, waxing) for at least two weeks prior to your first session. You should also avoid UV exposure and all tanning methods (including self-tanner) for at least a month to ensure the laser targets only the pigment in the hair follicles.
Negative side effects from laser hair removal are rare and usually occur at the hands of inexperienced providers. If not performed properly, hyperpigmentation, blisters, or even burns may happen.
Lucky for you, AesthetiCare’s team of laser specialists are among the most highly trained in the nation, and each are proficient in offering laser hair removal in Overland Park with our range of state-of-the-art devices.
Healthy adults, men and women alike, with unwanted hair are the best candidates for laser hair removal in Overland Park or Liberty at AesthetiCare. Most of our ladies come to us to remove hair in the bikini area, underarms, and legs while guys are interested in laser hair removal on their backs or necks.
It is important to note that laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair colors, as the laser targets pigment in hair follicles. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consider waiting to receive laser hair removal treatments. We also do not recommend using our lasers over a tattoo, as the laser may disrupt or fade the colors.
AesthetiCare proudly owns and operates the latest and greatest laser hair removal devices available. Our powerful lasers are FDA-cleared and are able to successfully treat all skin and hair types. Your best match is determined during your initial consultation with our specialists.
Professional laser hair removal performed by trained providers is not considered painful. Most patients report feeling a rubber band snap sensation for a millisecond that quickly dissipates. This may be followed by a sunburn feeling that doesn’t last longer than it’ll take you to leave our office.
Since no two patients, nor their treatments, are exactly alike, laser hair removal pricing varies depending on several factors. For example, the number of sessions required and the size of the treatment area(s) will affect your laser hair removal price. Your AesthetiCare specialist will provide you with all necessary pricing information prior to deciding to undergo a series of treatments.
With laser hair removal, it’s important for the laser to have follicles to target. This means that you should avoid waxing, tweezing, epilation, or any other hair removal method that pulls hair from the root and disrupts the grow cycle. It’s recommended to stop these forms of hair removal at least two weeks before your first laser hair removal session.
Nope! Again, you risk removing pigment from hair follicles that otherwise could have been destroyed. You may shave any hair that remains between sessions as needed, however.
In our experience, laser hair removal at our Kansas City or Liberty office is a much quicker, more comfortable method of hair removal. Electrolysis, while also effective, is an invasive, sometimes painful process which involves needles and electrical charges to disrupt the hair growth cycle and destroy hair follicles.
Laser hair removal, on the other hand, can target multiple hairs at one time, and requires on average six treatment sessions rather than years of treatments that may be necessary with electrolysis.
Laser hair removal near you in Overland Park or North Kansas City is just a click away.
