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!

The cost for laser hair removal of armpits in Santa Monica is about 100 dollars per treatment. About 3 to 4 treatments will produce sizable improvement.

Hi Kate,
We can't speak for your area, but we can tell you that in our area, underarms can range between $40 and $200 per treatment depending on where you go. Before you make a choice based just on price, we'd like to offer a few tips.
- The price per treatment is only one component of cost. The other is the total number of treatments, which can vary depending on the laser, practitioner and the skin type you have.
- The permanence of the treatment depends on the type of laser used and the settings achieved. If you go to a facility that does not have the correct equipment for your skin type, or properly trained staff, you can end up having temporary results.
- The % of hair loss depends on the type of laser used, how good a candidate you are and how good your practitioner is. If you go somewhere with improper equipment for your skin type and novice staff, you may end up with no permanent hair removal.
- The safety of the procedures depends on the type of laser used and the experience of the practitioner. Consumers do get hurt during laser hair removal situations when improper training and equipment is used.
We encourage you to do your research and find a facility that will offer great results in a safe environment. We can almost guarantee this type of facility will not be the cheapest on the block.

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.

The state-of-the art Cutera Laser we have here in Knoxville uses a sophisticated light energy source for permanent hair reduction. The light is absorbed by the pigment in your hair, which effectively disables the hair follicle. CoolGlide technology is considered the gold standard in the laser industry because of its long history of safety and effectiveness on all skin types—even on tanned skin, which is a nice benefit to our patients in the summer months. It can treat not only coarse hair but fine hair as well. It is permanent, safe and effective. The CoolGlide can remove hair from the face or body; for example, the arms, underarms, legs, backs, and even particularly sensitive areas like the upper lip.
It is sometimes hard to tell how many treatments you might need in advance. Hair develops in phases and we can only treat hair in its active, visible stage. Therefore, the number of treatments depends on how quickly the untreated hairs appear. For significant clearance, most patients require a course of four to six treatments, which are spaced at least six to eight weeks apart.
Patients will feel a series of short snaps, somewhat like a rubber band snapping, but no local anesthesia or pain medication is necessary. Treatment times vary depending, of course, on the size of the area, but it typically takes 60 minutes to treat the upper and lower legs and 45 minutes for a man’s back. Underarms for women are fast.
The beauty of the CoolGlide technology is that it effectively destroys the hair itself without harming the surrounding skin. You may be a little red afterward, but that typically goes away in a matter of hours. We ask that you shave beforehand since the treatment is targeting the hair follicle itself – not just hair.
Everyone asks, "Is it really permanent?" Yes, it is permanent. The hair treated with CoolGlide will not grow back, and patients can expect an 85 percent reduction in hair after four to six treatments. As we age our hair patterns change, so this does not prevent the possibility of new hair growth over the years.
No laser or light-based system can treat blonde, white, red or gray hair since there is no melanin in it to absorb the light, but with our CoolGlide system people with any other color hair, any skin type, and even tanned skin can receive treatment.
Here is our pricing (Knoxville, Tennessee) for underarms:
Per Treatment $175 Package of 6 $840

It depends on the area treated, generally, and it's usually charged per session. At our New Jersey clinic, we charge $250 per session, and you'd probably need a few sessions.
Of course pricing varies greatly.

Laser hair removal pricing depends on several factors. These include the following:
technology used
practitioner
area targeted
Even 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.

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.
