How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

The cost of laser hair removal varies. There are many factors that contribute to cost such as areas being treated, types of laser being used, and location of facility for example. Laser hair removal can assist in the issue your having with razor bumps. Especially in areas that hair is coarse. Within the first few treatments you should notice a decrease in hair growth as well as improvement in issues with razor bumps. Typically laser hair removal requires six treatments about four to six weeks apart, but you should have a consultation with a licensed medical aesthetican. 

Due to increasing popularity and a wide range of treatment options, the cost for laser hair removal has become drastically more affordable over the years. Still, treatment costs will vary depending on the areas being treated and the number of sessions needed.

Prior to treatment a reputable practice will bring you in for a thorough consultation to explain the procedure, give clear pre- and post-treatment advice and assess your session requirements. At that point, the staff should also provide you with an estimate for service costs. At my Vancouver cosmetic surgery practice, we use a virtually pain-free piece of technology called the Soprano Ice, with a cost at approximately $50 to $200 CAD per session depending on the size of the area and how coarse the hair is. An individual may require between four and eight sessions.



It is also important to note that laser hair removal is a treatment whose success depends in large part on patient compliance. The timing of these sessions is critical, so to spend money on a few sessions rather than a complete course and then stop would be wasteful. If you map out a budget and timeline in advance, this can be a very successful procedure.

Laser hair removal varies tremendously from provider to provider.  Keep in mind that cost- although an important consideration, should not be the sole factor in choosing a provider.  Most laser hair is around $150-200 per area per session with an area defined as back, legs, bikini, face, etc.  Many practices offer specials if you inquire.  Factors to consider outside of cost:-Type of machine- Make sure the type of laser hair machine is up to date and works well with your skin type-Physician oversight- A physician should be closely involved with laser settings communicating frequently with laser providers about appropriate safety-Facility- Does the facility appear to look like they are capable of handling medical procedures and lasers

The cost for laser hair removal depends on a lot of different factors. Where you live geographically could be one factor, as well as the type of technology and the size of the area or areas being treated. Larger areas of treatment take a long time in the treatment room. All of these things will play a roll in the cost  for laser hair removal. You should always choose a reputable medical spa within a dermatology or plastic surgery office as your first choice. They can oversee the clinician doing the treatment and have probably put a lot of time into researching the best technology on the market.

Hair removal prices vary by city and state. The best way to determine exactly what you need is by having a consultation with a licensed esthetician.  At my practice, most patients typically require 6-8 treatments to see optimal results.

It depends on the area treated, generally, and it's usually charged per session. At our New Jersey clinic, it's the following:Chin $150Sideburns $150Underarms $250Arms from elbow down $350Bikini Area $250Brazilian Bikini $350Both Legs $650Knees $400Of course pricing varies greatly.

Laser hair removal pricing vary from place to place. Finding a good reputable place is the key. I would stay away from "medical spas" that are not run by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. These places tend to have the least educated people running their lasers. Depending on the area you are treating cost can range greatly. Shop around for a place that you can trust.

Laser hair removal pricing depends on several factors. These include the following:technology usedpractitionerarea targetedEven the city in which you're located can be a factor. Usually, you can expect to pay about $500-$700 for the full legs in Toronto, Ontario, and this is for one session. It is difficult to say how many sessions you'll need. Some patients have been happy with just 3 sessions, while others require 6-8 or even more. Discounts may be available if you buy a package of treatments. Ask for a test patch to be performed before you proceed with your treatments. This will help you see how your skin reacts to the technology used.

Laser hair removal cost will vary depending on what area of the body is treated and and where the procedure is performed.  Smaller areas, such as the upper lip, will start around $100 per treatment.  Larger areas, such as under arms or bikini, will range from $200 to $300 per treatment.  Generally, around 5 - 6 treatments will be required for best results and "touch up" treatments will be required to fully maintain the hair reduction.  We sell packages where you get 6 treatments for the price of 5.  The reason multiple treatments are required because hair growth is cyclical.  Three phases of hair growth are anagen (growth), catagen (regression) and telogen (resting).  At any one time, your hairs are in different stages of the growth cycle.  Unfortunately, the hair can only be treated with a laser during the anagen or growth phase.  As a single treatment is performed, only a percentage of the hairs are treated.  The hairs in the catagen and telogen phases are not treatable and will continue to grow normally.  This can give the appearance that the hairs have grown back or the treatment has failed.  Therefore, we stage laser hair removal to best target the hairs in the active growth phase. Also, the cost will vary with where the procedure is performed.  Med spas that do not have a physician on site will likely be cheaper.  Whereas, treatments that are personally overseen by a board certified plastic surgeon tend to be more expensive.  Remember, when trying to determine the value of a service that you are also paying for the expertise of the individual performing the treatments, not just the machine.  Trey Aquadro, M.D.Auburn, AL

Laser hair removal price is dependant on the amount of time needed to treat the desired area.  Larger areas and dense hair need more and longer treatments.  The larger the area or more hair to be removed the more expensive it is.  Laser hair removal is generally sold in packages of treatments since the average area takes many treatments for a good result.  Our practice sells packages of 8 treatments with free touch ups to the area over 2 years.  This ensures the maximum result to the area.  Prices of the package can range from $400 to $1500.
