5 Laser Hair Removal Myths in Kansas City

Laser hair removal is a big buzzword in today’s world. Now people can get silky smooth skin without having to worry about the daily hassle of shaving or monthly waxing. But with all of those conversations comes a whirlwind of misinformation and myths, which may turn people away from getting laser hair removal in Kansas City. 

Our technicians at AesthetiCare have worked with a variety of clients, and we’ve heard it all when it comes to laser hair removal in Kansas City at our Ward Parkway, Liberty, or Lenexa locations. That’s why we compiled a list of myths about laser hair removal to debunk some of those false rumors. 

Myth #1: Laser hair removal causes radiation and cancer

There’s a fear that laser hair removal in Kansas City could cause cancer due to radiation exposure. That’s not true. The lasers are specifically made to safely penetrate the skin, and though there is some radiation, the amount is much too little to do any harm or cause cancer. 

Myth #2: Darker skin tones can’t benefit from the treatment

It is true that people with fairer skin and dark hair benefit the most, but people with dark skin can still see long-term hair reduction with laser hair removal as well. The success of your treatment lies within the expertise of the technician and the laser used, so make sure you do your research to ensure that your laser hair removal treatment will be effective.

Myth #3: All laser hair removal technicians are the same

One of the most important things you should know is that not all laser hair removal technicians are the same. Some technicians have had very little training or aren’t up to date on new laser hair removal techniques. An experienced technicians can make a huge impact on your comfort levels, the length of your treatment, and understanding how to best achieve your ideal results. 

Myth #4: Laser hair removal leads to infertility

There’s no scientific evidence that laser hair removal causes female clients to become infertile. The laser itself penetrates the skin, but it doesn’t go deep enough to reach any organs or the reproductive system. In fact, laser hair removal is FDA approved, and can even be used on sensitive areas such as the bikini line. 

Myth #5: Home kits are just as good as professional treatments

There’s a reason why laser hair removal kits are available for home use, and that’s because those lasers aren’t nearly as strong as professional, FDA-approved lasers. You definitely won’t get the same long-lasting results, which could be a waste of money in the long run. If you really want to reap the full benefits that come with laser hair removal, we strongly recommend going to a professional.
