Laser Hair Removal in Prairie Village

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal with InMode technology uses light energy to safely target and disable hair follicles beneath the skin. The pigment in each follicle absorbs the laser’s energy, converting it to heat and reducing future hair growth without damaging surrounding tissue.

At Summers Medical Aesthetics, we customize every treatment of laser hair removal in Prairie Village for your skin tone and hair type to ensure precise, comfortable, and lasting results. With each session, you’ll see smoother, softer skin and a noticeable reduction in unwanted hair.

What does it feel like?

During laser hair removal, most clients describe the feeling as a quick, warm snap against the skin, similar to the flick of a rubber band. The sensation is mild and brief, thanks to the precision and cooling technology of the InMode laser.

For bikini laser hair removal in Prairie Village, we offer complimentary numbing to make the experience even more comfortable. Other areas typically don’t require numbing, and most clients find the treatment easy and well-tolerated. Afterward, your skin may feel slightly warm or look pink for a few hours, but it quickly returns to normal.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

To prepare for your appointment, follow a few simple steps to ensure the safest, most effective results:

• Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for at least two weeks before your treatment. Lasers target pigment, so tanned skin can increase the risk of irritation or burns.
• Shave the treatment area the night before or the morning of your appointment so the laser can focus on the follicle beneath the skin.
• Skip waxing, plucking, or depilatory creams for four weeks prior. These remove the follicle the laser needs to target.
• Arrive with clean skin, free of lotions, deodorant, or makeup.
• For bikini treatments, we offer complimentary numbing for added comfort.

Your provider will review your skin history and ensure you’re fully prepared for a smooth, comfortable experience.

Why do I need so many sessions?

Hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only target follicles during their active growth phase (anagen phase). At any given time, only a portion of your hair is in this stage, which is why you need multiple sessions to treat every follicle effectively.

At Summers Medical Aesthetics, we space your laser treatments 1 month apart to align with your natural growth cycle. With each session, fewer hairs return, and those that do grow back are finer and lighter. Completing the full series ensures the smoothest, longest lasting results possible.

What are the side effects?

Side effects from laser hair removal are usually mild and temporary. At Summers Medical Aesthetics, we use advanced cooling Inmode laser technology to minimize risks. You might notice a slight redness, swelling, or warmth in the treated area for a few hours after your session, similar to a mild sunburn, These are normal signs that the follicles have responded to the treatment.
