Imagine if constant shaving, tweezing, and waxing were a thing of the past? If you’re curious about a more permanent solution to unwanted hair, it’s time to contact Nashville Family Medical Clinic in Nashville, Tennessee. Said Attoussi, MD, is a board-certified doctor who provides permanent hair reduction with nonsurgical Icon™ system. The light-based technology offers lasting hair removal for your bikini line, back, legs, and more. Call today, or schedule a consultation online.

Dr. Attoussi will apply a hand-held laser device against the treatment area. As the device moves across your skin, you may feel tingling or snapping sensations. Some people say the feeling is similar to a rubber band snapping on your skin.
The length of your treatments will depend on the size of the area being treated. For example, with a small area, your session might take only five minutes. A larger area could take an hour.
Typically, you’ll need more than a single treatment session for optimal results. Your hair grows in three stages, which means each treatment session eliminates just a portion of unwanted hair, but not all. Multiple treatments over time are necessary to target all of the hair follicles.
Typically, three to six treatments will give you the hair-free look you desire, although results vary. Dr. Attoussi will discuss the treatment plan that’s right for you.
You’ll gradually have less and less hair in the treatment area. The remaining hair looks thin and sparse. To find out more about permanent hair reduction, call *615-512-6641 today, and schedule a consultation with Nashville Family Medical Clinic.
