Steps to Hair Reduction
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!
