Laser Hair Removal Cost for Armpits?

Question

I would like to get laser hair removal on my armpits. I have dark hair and light skin. I was wondering how many treatments will it take, and much it would cost for each treatment?

In my San Francisco area practice, like Dr. Reath, we have also had great success with Cutera's CoolGlide.  Typically about 75% hair reduction after 3 treatments.
Find a boad certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist and discuss your options.
Good luck!

With it being very competitive now the ball is in your court. Do not always go to a facility because it is a discounted service. Make sure you do your research about the doctor. Is the doctor always at the facility? Is the doctor board certified? How many years has the esthetician been at the current practice, and how many years of experience does the esthetician have. Also, it all depends on your state or city you live in. In some more rural areas it may be cheaper. In our practice we like to stay competitive to the current market so we charge anywhere from $40-$85 per axillae laser hair removal session. We offer discounts and monthly promotions that give the clients a chance to purchase packages that can average to $40/session.

LASER hair removal tends to cost about 50-125 dollars per session in the underarm area.  Make sure factors other than cost are taken into consideration such as provider experience and type of laser.

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 $150-$250 for the underarms 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.

Prices vary widely from clinic to clinic. Depending on your location, the practicioner, and the area of your body you want treated, the price can change. It is best to go in for a consultation to determine an exact cost.

Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

The price depends if you decide to get a package or pay for individual treatments. A lot of places offer 1-2 year of guarantee when purchasing a package. If you choose to pay as you go the average price is about $150 but it can take up to 10 visits for the best results. If you have light skin and dark hair you are a perfect candidate for the laser and I would recommend the Lightsheer laser by Lumenis.

Robert W. Sheffield, MD · Answer

With light skin and darker hair, you are considered the right candidate for laser treatment; you will need to have done at least six sessions separate between 6-8 weeks. Each treatment can be around $100, but many factors are considered that can influence the price, like the type of laser used (Alexandrite, diode, Nd: YAG), the office location, and the number of sessions required. Packages prices are usually offered during the initial consultation with your physician.

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. There are many factors that determine the cost of laser hair removal and they include the area(s) being treated, type of laser being used, and the location of the facility. At Ethos Spa the cost of a treatment for the underarm is $125 per treatment and typically 6-9 sessions is required to see 70-90% reduction. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Kent Holtorf, MD · Answer

Sounds like you are a great candidate for laser hair removal of the underarms, but would need a consultation from a phsyician to confirm.  Usually underarm hair removal take 5-7 treatments depending on the hair and strength of alser treatments.  
On average in Southern California you will pay about $100 per treatment.  However, most practitioners will offer a discount when you purchase packages.

Ifeoma Ejikeme, MD · Answer

Laser hair removal for the underarms in London costs between £60-£80 per session. It is important to go to a licensed clinic and ensure the doctor or practitioner performing the procedure is appropriately trained. You will usually need a course of treatments with a minimum of 6 sessions, with 6 weeks between each session. I hope you have a great result.
