What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular elective procedures in the United States. It's a convenient option for the long-term reduction of unwanted hair on the face and/or body. This treatment usually leaves the skin feeling and looking smoother and provides longer-lasting results compared to other common options. Dr. Marc I. Epstein's team at Mountain View Dermatology and Aesthetics in Tucson, AZ offers safe and effective laser hair removal treatments for both men and women in frequently needed areas, like the legs, arms, back, face, chest, armpits, and bikini area.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
On the day of your appointment at Mountain View Dermatology and Aesthetics, you will relax in one of our treatment rooms as areas of your face and body being treated are cleaned to remove dirt, oil, and lotions. During laser hair removal, a technician will slightly stretch the area to provide a direct pathway between the root of the hair follicle and the laser. The laser beam will target and kill the hair follicle, which stops it from growing back. On average, you will need to get a handful of treatments over a period of a month or more to get your ideal results. Your sessions are spaced out in order to give the affected areas a chance to heal. It also allows time for hair follicles in the dormant phase to cycle into the active growth phase so they can be treated. The revolutionary laser technology we use is able to target only the hair follicle, which preserves the skin in the treated area.

Mountain View Dermatology and Aesthetics Reviews
Really happy with my results from Opus and BBL. I bought a package of 3 Opus treatments and could see a major difference after the first treatment. Shelley changes up the laser settings depending on the results I'm going for and I don't have the long downtimes I was experiencing with other treatments. Also found some incredible sunscreen.
Good service and very friendly staff!
Excellent
Very nice people at Mountain View. Had me in and out and I am already happy with my results!
I have been going to Mountain View Aesthetics since 2018. Rochelle has performed all of my skincare procedures. She does such a thorough job. My skin has never looked better. She explains in detail the difference between all of the procedures they offer. I highly recommend Rochelle.

Am I An Ideal Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Thanks to advancements in modern laser technology, laser hair removal is generally a safe and effective treatment for most individuals. An ideal candidate for laser hair removal is someone who wants to end their reliance on waxing, shaving, and depilatory creams for getting rid of facial or body hair. The treatment is also more effective for individuals who have dark hair and light skin and who are in good physical health. When you visit our Tucson, AZ office for your initial consultation, we'll review any concerns you may have and help you determine if laser hair removal is suitable for you.
What Can I Expect After Laser Hair Removal?
Although laser hair removal is mostly gentle in nature, the treated areas of your skin may look like it has a slight sunburn when lasers are used. When you leave our office, you will be able to resume all normal activities, but you should refrain from heavy activity or lengthy exposure to the sun for a period of 24 hours to let the treated areas heal. When you get home after your appointment, we suggest anti-inflammatory creams or cold packs to minimize any mild discomfort.

What should I expect after undergoing a laser hair removal session?
After a laser hair removal session at Mountain View Dermatology and Aesthetics, you may experience some redness and slight swelling in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn.
