Is it possible to get Laser Hair Removal from head to toe?

Question

Is it possible to get laser hair removal from head to toe? If so approximately how much will it cost? How long will the process be?

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.It is possible to receive laser hair removal treatments from head to toe, although it can be costly and time consuming. Laser hair removal takes several treatments on one specific area to achieve the results desired, while certain areas depending on hair color and coarseness can take more treatments. Laser hair removal is a hair reduction treatment which requires maintenance every few years depending on the individual. To be sure what is best for you, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.

I hope this helps.

While total body hair reduction is possible, t is a timely and expensive process.  You also have to be aware of the fact that you will still need touch up treatments on an ongoing basis.

Total body hair removal has been done and is quite expensive but if that is what you are seeking, it is achievable with maintenance treatments.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

I would guess it would cost at least 10k to treat the whole body or more.  Keep in mind that you get about 80% reduction in hair at best and touch ups 1-2 times per year are needed.  The areas with the most success are the pubic area and underarm.  All the other areas (chest, back, legs) tend to require up to 10 treatments, and results aren't as good.  The "get rid of your shaving" advertisements are misleading.  Also, if you have a darker skin type, you can expect more treatments with less results.
