What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure for long-term reduction of unwanted hair on the face and body. It provides smoother skin and longer-lasting results compared to traditional methods like shaving or waxing. At Mountain View Dermatology and Aesthetics in Tucson, AZ, Dr. Marc I. Epstein and his team offer safe and effective treatments for both men and women in commonly treated areas, including the legs, arms, back, face, chest, armpits, and bikini area.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

During your appointment, the treatment area will be cleaned to remove dirt, oil, and lotions. The technician will stretch the skin slightly to provide a clear path between the laser and the hair follicle. The laser targets the follicle to prevent future hair growth while leaving surrounding skin intact. Most patients require multiple sessions spaced over several weeks to achieve optimal results, allowing dormant follicles to enter the growth phase for treatment. Our advanced laser technology ensures precision and preserves healthy skin.
