Thank you for your question. Full body hair removal is defined differently by everyone so its hard to give a cost estimate without a consultation. I would suggest making a consultation appointmetn with a laser technician to determine if you are a good candidate for this type of treatment. Hair removal should be permanate, however things such as hormone change and age can stimulate a dormant hair growth so you may need touch ups years down the road. Each area of the body grows in different cycle lenghts so some areas may require more treatments then others.Best Wishes,Pablo Prichard

Almost any area of the body can remove hair on almost any area of the body. We do not recommmend scalp hair removal for men as the result can be very uneven and slotchy. We also do not recommened removal of facial hair for men without very careful consideration as is can be femininizing for some men. The neck however, is a great treatment area.Most laser hair removal centers will provide reduced fees for multiple treatment areas. Be cautious about paying for treatments up front as people have diffferent requirements. You don't want to pay more than you need to. Start with consultations and a complimentary spot test. Be sure the center adheres to the guidelines of the medical board in your state. In almsot all states, that means a laser center should be owned and operated by a physician who practices on site.

Full body hair removal is somewhat of a misnomer, because you don't treat the eyebrows, ears, nose, etc. but you focus on the main areas like the legs, bikini, back, chest, arms, and neck/beard. Laser hair removal works by targeting specific hair follicles in specific growth phases. This is why it requires multiple treatments. Each hair is not in the same growth phase at the same time, and not all hairs on the body grow at the same rate. So sometimes you will skip certain areas during a treatment. Like the legs don't need to be treated every 3-4 weeks like other areas do. Laser hair removal usually requires between 6-8 treatments for the best results and if you are treating all of those areas and chose to go to an experienced office, you will probably spend several thousand dollars. Once a hair follicle is treated and destroyed, it doesn't come back and isn't capable of growing a hair ever again. Over time though your body will develop some new hair follicles - this is what makes us human - so you will need to do a maintenance treatment every now and then to target new hairs. Maybe a treatment every 6 months or so. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
