How much does it cost? (Laser Hair Removal)

The cost of laser hair removal treatments is dependent on many factors.

Prices are likely to vary between different practices at a physician's office or a medi-spa. The best equipment offered means safer, better, and faster results, and less discomfort. The cost may be more, but it is worth for your body. A medi-spa provides treatment in a relaxed atmosphere. Costs may also vary geographically, from different cities and states, and from one laser center to another. Prices also depend on whether the doctor's practice is in an urban, suburban or rural area.

Furthermore, the practice or physician performing the treatment will determine cost. Some clinics may charge a flat fee for laser hair removal treatment. This fee may be charged per treatment basis, or on a package of multiple treatments.

The number of treatments is decided on each unique pattern of hair growth. This is why some practices require you to come in for a consultation before they estimate laser hair removal pricing. Cost is also mostly dependent on the surface area covered. The size of the area treated is also important; more area treated requires more laser pulses, and more time means higher cost. For example, a back area costs more than the chin. You pay less for a small area like an upper lip than you would for a back or legs. The cost may range from a few hundred dollars to several hundred per session and expect to have approximately eight sessions, a month apart. You may also find that certain clinics charge per pulse.

Another aspect that determines the cost for laser hair removal is the amount of hair to be removed, the speed of the laser technician, and the laser hair removal machine.

As you can see, it is hard to provide an estimate for such treatments without a consultation first. The entire cost is based on the size of the treatment area, skin tone, hair color and thickness, and the number of treatments necessary for best results.
