Convenient Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is an effective way to permanently reduce unwanted hair, and it has the added benefit of being a very convenient procedure. Small areas can be treated in 10 minutes, and patients can return to normal activities right away.

Patients experience a permanent reduction in unwanted hair and smoother, softer skin after each laser hair removal treatment. Some patients may need an annual touch-up session after the initial course of four to six treatments, but most enjoy long-lasting beautiful results without the need for further sessions.

Fast and Easy Treatment

Patients enjoy the effectiveness, efficiency and convenience of laser hair removal. The procedure can easily treat large areas in comparatively short periods of time. For example, an entire back can be treated in about an hour. That’s much faster than treatments like electrolysis, and far more efficient than shaving or using tweezers on an ongoing basis.

In addition, laser hair removal doesn’t involve the pain and discomfort associated with some other traditional methods of hair removal, such as waxing. Some patients experience mild discomfort from laser hair removal similar to a mild sunburn for a day or less after treatment, but many patients experience no discomfort at all. Laser hair removal also involves less risk of skin irritation than hair removal creams.

Enjoy the Benefits

In conclusion, laser hair removal offers many benefits over old fashioned hair removal processes, including comfort, efficiency, and enduring results. Talk to a cosmetic surgeon to find out if you are a candidate for this revolutionary treatment or for other advanced skin care options.

Facelift Procedures

A consultation with our Kansas City plastic surgeon will help determine the best type of facelift for the individual based on what needs to be done and the desired outcome. This might include a full facelift surgery or surgery on one or more parts of the face to include forehead, mid face, and the lower part of the face and neck area. The following is an overview of facelift surgery options available:

Forehead - The type of facelift surgery performed on the forehead is known as a brow lift. In this case, the eyebrows are raised, which creates a much smoother look, reducing or eliminating wrinkles on the forehead area.

Mid Face - With this option, the area of the face from the upper lip to the eyes is enhanced. With this surgery, deep lines around the nose are removed or lessened, cheeks are lifted to a more youthful position, and any nasolabial folds are greatly improved. Depending on what the plastic surgeon wants to accomplish, he or she would use an incision in the hairline or the lower eyelid.

Full Facelift - Surgery involving the entire face would include the procedures mentioned above. In addition, the cosmetic surgeon may recommend additional enhancements such as chin augmentation, cheek implants, or BOTOX® Cosmetic to help the patient achieve the desired results.

Facelift Results

A good plastic surgeon will have the skill to create a natural look that enhances the individual’s appearance. Unfortunately, there have been many people who have undergone facelift surgery only to have such radical change they are dissatisfied. This is exactly why choosing the right plastic surgeon for your cosmetic surgery procedure is so crucial. Rather than choose any surgeon, the surgeon needs to have special training specific to all aspects of facelifts and facial plastic surgery. From there, having realistic expectations about your results will ensure the outcome is the best it can be.
