Cost of GentleLASE Laser Hair Removal?
We have been using the Candela alexandrite GentleLASE in our practice for over ten years and find it does a superb job, especially for lighter skin types I-III.

Cost of GentleLase Hair Removal
The GentleLASE is the current gold standard for laser hair removal. We charge by the area, which is roughly determined by how many pulses are needed for the area. For example, a small area like the underarms is considerably less expensive than a larger area like the legs. That being said, treatments can be anywhere from $60 - $480.

Laser Hair Removal Costs
The GentleLASE laser, manufactured by Candela, is an excellent laser for laser hair removal. It uses a cryogen spray on the skin surface before each laser pulse to provide anesthesia and to protect the skin. Cost is based on area treated and generally by who is treating the patient. In my opinion having a doctor with training in laser surgery (such as a dermatologist) and experience in utilizing a particular laser helps to decrease the risk of complications.

Laser Hair Removal Cost
Cost of laser hair removal depends 1) on the size of the area you are treating (larger treatment areas require more time = more expensive), 2) the geographic location you are in (New York City will probably cost more than Jacksonville).
The type of laser does not seem to be a factor in cost. Although be careful with prices that seem very low. These are expensive machines and they require expertise, and that costs money. If prices seem too low, they might be skimping on...
