Transform Texture & Tone With Laser Treatments in Nashville, TN

Laser treatments can improve many common concerns, including texture, tone, and pigmentation.

• Pixel8 RF microneedling is especially helpful for softening fine lines, fading acne scars, reducing pore size, and tightening mildly loose skin. It uses tiny needles and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen deep within the skin, making it a great option for many skin types, including deeper complexions.
• For pigment concerns, PICO laser offers a gentle, heat-free solution. It works well on sun damage, melasma, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It can also be used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and fade unwanted tattoos.
• Erbium: YAG laser resurfacing is best for more advanced issues like deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, and rough texture. It removes damaged surface layers so new, smoother skin can take its place.

Together, these options give us the flexibility to treat a wide range of concerns with precision.

Combining RF microneedling with PICO or Erbium laser treatments allows us to treat multiple layers of the skin in one session. RF microneedling targets deeper layers, boosting collagen and improving firmness and texture. PICO works closer to the surface to break up unwanted pigment, while Erbium gently resurfaces the top layer to smooth and brighten. Together, they create more noticeable results in fewer visits.
Stacking treatments can also help reduce downtime and improve safety. RF microneedling supports healthy healing, which is especially helpful when paired with resurfacing or pigment-targeting lasers. It’s a great option for clients who want comprehensive results while still being mindful of recovery and skin sensitivity.
H4: Are your laser treatments suitable for Fitzpatrick types V and VI?
Yes. We have options that are safe for deeper skin tones, including Fitzpatrick types V and VI. Pixel8 RF microneedling does not rely on light energy, so it avoids targeting pigment and reduces the risk of post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This makes it a safe and effective option for texture improvement, scar reduction, and skin tightening on darker skin.

PICO laser is also considered safe for darker skin types when performed with the correct settings. Its ultra‑short pulses deliver photoacoustic energy with minimal heat, lowering the risk of pigmentary side effects. Erbium resurfacing can be used on deeper skin tones when performed in fractional mode with conservative settings, though it requires careful planning and aftercare.

Downtime depends on which treatment you receive and the intensity of the session.

• Pixel8 RF microneedling typically has minimal downtime, with redness and slight swelling lasting 24–48 hours. Most clients feel comfortable resuming daily activities quickly, and makeup can usually be worn after the first day.
• PICO laser downtime is also minimal. Light pigment treatments may have no visible downtime, while more intensive sessions for acne scars or tattoos can involve a few days of mild redness or flaking.
• Erbium laser resurfacing requires the most recovery time. Mild sessions typically need 5–7 days, while deeper resurfacing can take up to 10 days, with redness that may persist for several weeks.

Pixel8 and Morpheus8 are both effective RF microneedling devices, but Pixel8 offers several advantages that make it a preferred choice for many clients. It allows for more precise depth control, which means treatments can be customized for delicate areas and specific concerns. Many clients also find Pixel8 more comfortable, with less downtime than Morpheus8.

Pixel8’s energy delivery is efficient, often requiring fewer passes for results. It can treat both surface texture and deeper concerns with consistent outcomes across different skin types. While Morpheus8 can target deeper layers for more aggressive tightening, Pixel8 is versatile enough for firming, scar reduction, and rejuvenation with excellent comfort and recovery.
