Laser Hair Removal
Best Laser Hair Removal in Tucson, AZ
Shaving, waxing, and plucking can all feel like a never-ending battle against unwanted hair. If you’re tired of these temporary methods, Facial Artistry & Aesthetics has a long-term solution that eliminates stubborn hair that persists: laser hair removal.
Our advanced laser technology targets unwanted hair right at the root. With a precise pulse of light, the laser penetrates your skin, gently heating and disabling the hair follicle. This disrupts future growth, leaving you with smooth, hair-free skin that lasts.

The Science Behind Laser Hair Removal
It all comes down to timing and targeting as hair goes through three growth stages: growing (anagen), transitioning (catagen), and resting (telogen). Lasers can only target hairs in the growing stage when the root is biggest and packed with melanin, i.e., the hair’s pigment. This is why several sessions are needed to catch those stubborn hairs as they sprout.
The darker the hair and the lighter the skin, the better the laser can see its target. Melanin also influences how many treatments you might need, as it varies across individual hairs. Essentially, laser hair removal disrupts unwanted hair growth at the root by targeting melanin during the anagen phase, leading to long-lasting smoothness and fuzz-free skin.
What Are the Benefits of Getting Laser Hair Removal?
While results may vary from person to person, and occasional touch-ups might be needed, laser treatments reduce hair growth significantly. And if some hair does grow back, it’s usually thinner and finer than before treatment. This makes laser hair removal the most effective way to remove unwanted hair from the underarms and legs to the face and more.
Here are some proven benefits:
- ✓The treatment itself is quick and precise
- ✓Achieve long-lasting smooth skin
- ✓ Prevents ingrown hairs
- ✓ Reduce the need for shaving, waxing, or other hair removal methods
- ✓ Finer, less noticeable regrowth (if any)
- ✓ Long-term results

Hair laser removal is a great option for a variety of concerns like ingrown hair, shaving irritation, and unwanted hair growth, to name a few. While darker hair tends to achieve the best results compared to blonde, gray, and strawberry-blonde hair, many factors contribute to candidacy. Here's what to consider:
- Hair Color: Laser hair removal works best on darker hair because it absorbs the laser's light more effectively. However, advancements in technology allow for the treatment of lighter hair in some cases.
- Skin Tone: Those with lighter skin tones generally experience fewer side effects. A consultation with Facial Artistry & Aesthetics can determine if laser hair removal is right for your specific skin type.
