Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD answers: How much does laser hair removal cost?

I get a lot of razor bumps on my legs and so I want to try laser hair removal to see if that will fix my problem.  I know it won't be cheap, but what is the cost of laser hair removal?  Is there any way to tell how many laser hair treatments I will probably need before commiting to several treatments up front?

Before discussing the price for laser hair removal, you should make sure that you are calling either doctor's office or medical spa, with a medical director. Only experts can select the right equipment or laser that guarantees permanent results without any side effects.Most of the lasers require 6-9 treatments, spaced every 6-8 weeks. A lot of offices offer packages for different body area, instead of individual treatments. I would recommend asking for a maintenance plan as well. Typical cost is about 600$ per area but can vary widely
