How much does laser hair removal cost?

Although cost of laser treatments is a valid concern and a reality for all of our budgets, it should not be the only factor when researching facilities for the best treatment. Oftentimes, we receive calls from consumers only interested in pricing over the phone. Very rarely do they ask about the technology, efficacy, and safety of these treatments.

In California, Class IV medical lasers for hair reduction treatment must be performed by a Registered Nurse, Physician's Assistant, or Physician. Therefore, the cost of having a licensed, trained practitioner must be taken into consideration. Most pricing should be done in a complimentary consultation wherein the area to be treated can be assessed for the most appropriate laser (determined by skin type, type of hair, etc) and the amount of treatment time needed. These factors determine cost.

Most laser treatments for hair reduction will require anywhere from 6 to 8 treatments. Some may require less than 6 and some may require more than 8. However, this is a general answer inasmuch as different areas of the body may require additional treatments for optimal results. Paying per treatment may be a better option than purchasing a package of treatments.

While you do research for the best treatment plan for your budget, be certain to make safety and effectiveness a higher priority.
