Say Goodbye to Unwanted Hair
For those who are tired of the frequency of shaving, the pain of waxing, and the frustration of tweezing, laser hair removal in Nashville is an excellent alternative. This treatment is also effective for those who are embarrassed by excessive body hair.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal allows you to feel smooth without worrying about shaving, waxing, or plucking. By using laser light energy to target and damage hair-bearing follicles, unwanted body hair can be reduced greatly — as much as 95%. The lasers are precise and safe, able to affect the follicles without causing any damage to the surrounding skin.
Here at Genesis, we provide laser hair removal so you'll be able to take advantage of a tried-and-true solution to an age-old problem.
How laser hair removal works
Laser hair removal in Nashville is a safe procedure that involves the use of a laser device that is held against the skin for a brief period of time. The heat from the laser damages the hair follicles, typically to the point where the hair cannot regrow since they are destroyed at the root. When the pigment of the hair absorbs laser light energy, it converts the energy into heat. When a hair follicle is targeted with a laser, this process damages the follicle, which stops it from being able to grow hair.
Each person is unique and can have different levels of unwanted hair. Dark hair on light skin is very responsive to laser hair removal and may require fewer treatments than those with other skin and hair colors, however, your specialist will tell you how many treatments you may require.

Why get laser hair removal?
Many of our Nashville laser hair removal patients love the treatment because of its convenience. Not only do they not need to shave every other day; they also don’t need to worry about razor burn and irritation or the pain of hot waxing. If you want smooth skin without all the fuss of razors and tweezers and waxing, laser hair removal is a great option.
Laser hair removal treatment details
On the day of your laser hair removal appointment, you will be left in the private treatment room to undress, if the areas you’re having treated are covered by clothing. You will then get comfy on the medical chair. When your technician returns, you will be given protective eyewear, and your skin will be cleaned with wipes. If you have any stray hairs, they will be shaved.
Next, the actual laser treatment will begin. The sensation of the laser is comparable to tiny pin pricks, or a hot rubber band being snapped on the skin. Most patients find it very tolerable, and rate the pain at a level 2. In addition, many lasers also emit a cooling effect to help with any discomfort.
There are certain instructions you must follow to prepare for your laser hair removal appointment, including avoiding sun exposure and what to do about your body hair before the treatment. We will provide you with detailed guidance so that your treatment goes as it should.
What to expect after treatment
It’s important for those considering our laser hair removal in Nashville to understand that the hair will not fall out instantly after the appointment. It generally takes about five sessions for the hair to be reduced.
Just as there are certain instructions to prepare for a laser hair removal appointment, there are also home care instructions for afterward. We will also discuss this with you during your consultation, but you can expect to avoid sun exposure, other skin treatments, makeup and perfume, and hot water for a few days after treatment.
