Laser Skin Resurfacing in Nashville FAQ

Laser skin resurfacing in Nashville for dark skin used to not be recommended. But technology has come a long way, and there are now devices that are safe and effective for all skin tones. AVAVA is safe for Fitzpatrick Types I–VI.
In the past, the primary risk of laser treatments on melanated skin was hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) and hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin). This occurs when the laser device creates too much heat on the surface of the skin and triggers pigment cells. Because AVAVA uses focal point technology that bypasses the surface of the skin and concentrates energy deep into the skin, this risk is eliminated. This makes AVAVA the leading safe choice for laser skin resurfacing in Nashville.
To keep you comfortable during treatment, we start by applying a numbing cream. Most patients simultaneously feel heat and a cooling sensation thanks to the device's cooling system. Overall, treatments are minimally painful and quite tolerable since the heat does not build up on the surface of the skin.
The most important step is to avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before your appointment, and do not have a tan. You will also need to stop using harsh topical products like retinoids, glycolic acids, or other chemical exfoliants one week prior. We’ll provide prep instructions during your consultation. Plan to come to the office the day of your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.
The cost of AVAVA laser treatment will vary based in the area being treated. At Advanced Skin and Laser Center, we will discuss your treatment plan and costs at your consultation. Some patients are happy with their results after just one treatment, while others need a series of treatments.
