How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal - or, more precisely, reduction - uses a handheld device that emits a focused beam of light, which kills hair follicles by targeting the pigment in them. This prevents hair regrowth. When used by a skilled technician, laser technology safely and effectively destroys hair follicles without posing a risk to surrounding skin.

To do that, traditional lasers required contrast in order to differentiate pigment in follicles from pigment in the skin. So patients with dark, coarse hair and a fair complexion generally had the best outcome. However, the advanced laser technology we use at Image Surgical Arts - specifically the YAG laser - gives us more precise control, so we can also achieve desirable results safely for patients with darker skin tones.

Steps to Laser Hair Removal

Skin tone plays a key role, but there are other factors to consider before getting laser hair removal/reduction, so we always start with a personal consultation.

Step 1: Consultation

Our trained experts will listen to your concerns about unwanted hair and your goals, and then examine your skin to determine if laser hair reduction is an appropriate solution for you. If it is, we will create an individualized treatment plan.

Step 2: Customized Treatment

Lasers refract light through a crystal, which determines the wavelength of the light energy delivered to the target area. With our advanced Evo-Lite device, we can use different crystals to control the wavelength. This increases precision and safety and enables us to treat a wide range of skin types. For those with skin types I through III (fair to medium), we use an ALEX laser, and for those with skin types IV through VI (olive to very dark), we use a YAG laser.

Depending on the size and number of treatment areas, laser hair removal/reduction can take as little as a couple of minutes. Discomfort and side effects are typically minimal. Most patients equate the sensation to that of being snapped with a small rubber band. Any side effects such as swelling, redness, or mild pain after your procedure should subside within the day.

You may see some results immediately, although most hair will not fall out until 1-3 weeks post-treatment. It takes several treatments to achieve the desired results because the laser can only target hairs that are in their active growth phase. Treatments are spaced anywhere from 6-10 weeks apart, and you may require 6 or more sessions depending on your skin, hair, and goals.

Step 3: Maintenance

Laser hair removal in Nashville is a long-term solution, but it is not considered permanent because random hairs may grow back at some point in the future. If that happens, we can easily treat them.

There’s no question that laser hair removal is a dramatic improvement over continual shaving and waxing. To learn more about the procedure and your eligibility, schedule a personal consultation by clicking/tapping below!

Nashville, Clarksville, and Murray Laser Hair Removal FAQs

Is laser hair removal safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. While traditional lasers required stark contrast between hair and skin, our advanced Evo-Lite technology utilizes a specialized YAG laser designed specifically for skin types IV through VI (olive to dark skin tones). This allows us to safely and precisely target the pigment in the follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction rather than absolute permanent elimination. Because hair grows in natural cycles and new follicles can activate over time, random hairs may occasionally grow back. However, recurring growth is typically much finer, and quick touch-up sessions can easily keep your skin smooth.

How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

Most patients require six or more sessions spaced 6 to 10 weeks apart to achieve their desired results. Laser energy can only target hair follicles currently in their active growth phase, so multiple treatments are necessary to capture all follicles as they rotate through the growth cycle.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Discomfort is typically minimal. Most patients compare the sensation to a small rubber band snapping against the skin. Any mild side effects, such as light redness or slight warmth in the treatment area, usually subside within a day.

Where can I get laser hair removal with Image Surgical Arts?

We offer personalized laser hair removal treatments across Middle Tennessee and Kentucky, with fully equipped Medspa locations in Nashville, Clarksville, and Murray. You can schedule a personal consultation at whichever clinic is most convenient for you.

Can men get laser hair removal?

Yes, laser hair reduction is a popular and effective option for men who want to reduce excessive hair or eliminate shaving hassle entirely. Common treatment areas for men include the back, chest, shoulders, neck, and between the brows.

How should I prepare for my laser hair removal consultation and treatment?

Avoid plucking, waxing, or electrolysis for several weeks before your appointment, as the laser requires an intact hair follicle to work. Shaving the treatment area the day before your appointment is recommended so the laser can target the root beneath the skin without scorching longer surface hair.

When will I start seeing results after a laser hair session?

While you may notice subtle changes right away, treated hair typically begins to shed between 1 to 3 weeks post-treatment. You will notice thinner, lighter, and more sparse hair growth after each successive session.
