How long would Laser Hair Removal take for legs and bikini line, and what would it cost?

Question

I am thinking of getting my legs and bikini line done. I would want treatment all over my legs. I'm very pale (Caucasian) with very sensitive skin and dark hair. It's not too thick on my legs, but it's semi-coarse. It's thicker around my bikini area with the same coarseness. I was planning on doing it around Christmas time this year, but I wanted it to be all done by the beginning of May 2015, when I'm going on a cruise. I need to know how much I should save and if I would need to do it sooner.

I would recommend you start soon.  Depending on where you go for treatment the
bikini line should take approximately 4-6 treatments (performed 6-8 weeks apart) and
the full legs may take 6-8 treatments (performed up to 8-12 weeks apart towards
the end of your sessions).  Even if you
do not complete all your treatments prior to you vacation, you should have some
great results and minimal hair growth.

The cost of treatment is based on the size and location of the areas treated. It also depends on whether you are getting a high quality safe and effective medical laser treatment at  a medical clinic, or some sort of "laser" by a hair salon. Finally, there are laser packages and promos that your doctor's office will periodically have. Best to speak with a dermatologist about the treatment schedule, as you'd likely need 5-8 treatments spaced every 4-6 weeks apart.
