They offer prices per treatment for those skeptics. I remember them being less than 200 depending on the area. cant say exactly for now. But the price I paid includes the 9 treatments PLUS a lifetime membership. To an established facility with sooo many business not only in my area but around the whole united states. Many salons and other facility may provide a lifetime guarantee aswell- but how many salons truely stick around that long? lets get real.

6 legs = $1350, 6 underarms = $300, 6 brazilian =$600, 6 face = $450. Definitely shop around...just make sure they are using a YAG for your skin type and you will get the same results for a better price.

what is brazilian? is it a wax or laser hair removal?
December 31, 2013
In NYC, I got both underarms and Brazilian for less than $600, 6 sessions. You should definitely shop around when you go to do those other areas. Just make sure the place has high reviews, and that they have the right laser for your skin (e.g. YAG, like Nicole S posted).

Either. It's when ALL the hair is removed instead of just the bikini area.

Thanks for your review...i am considering this treatment but worried about the pain. I also have a few tattoos as well as getting one removed...that laser hurts ...so maybe i can handle this! Can they numb the area?
December 31, 2013
There is a prescription numbing creme that you can use an hour before your treatment. My dermatologist prescribed it. It wasn't that string though, IMO. Laser is fast, but it hurts!! Especially when they increase the intensity around the 3rd and 4th sessions ! O_o But at least it's over in 10-15 min.

I meant it wasn't strong enough, for me : ) excuse my lack of spellcheck

ask them for an ice pack next time - it really helps - and it will get less painful each time because there is less hair to target.

One treatment- so far so good

I went in to do one treatment and let me tell you how painful it was! For starters I'm not the sensitive type. I have several tattoos and piercings- & none compare to the pain of laser hair removal. I have a rib cage tattoo that starts underneath my very sensitive breast area, going down my ribs all the way to my hip bone- all done in 6hrs one straight session with no breaks. AND LASER HURTS 10x more. I have two permanent dermal piercings on my bikini area on each hip bone, tongue piercings, nose, dermal on the bone of my ring finger!, tattoos on my fingers- AND I WOULD STILL DO THOSE ALL OVER AGAIN and it will be less painful than laser. Did I make my point? This ish hurts. Well they started with my armpits- each poke of the laser made my nerves tense and react in so much pain. The first armpit took about 5mins of painful laser shots one after the other. As far as tattoos go- there gets a point where you feel some numbness. NOT the case with laser. Once she did both my armpits- I was literally shaking thinking about them opening up my privates and applying that amount of pain to it. She started with the most sensitive area- the bone where your lips meet (right at the top), then worked her way around the bikini area- it went on for about 20mins of pure torture. The shock of the laser literally made my body jump in seizure mood each time she poked. I mentally tried to focus- nothing helps- your body just JUMPS in shock- legs kicking. I was scared [RS bleep] less for my more private areas- when she opened up with the tongues- it was actually the most relieving moment. No pervertness intended- but it wasn't so bad. Then she asked me to roll over- time to laser my booty crack lol. She asks you to hold it open yourself. A little hard to do when your shaking. Each zap!- you let go & or grip deeper onto your cheeks. This went on for about 5-10mins. Afterwards- you see NO results. There is no pain in between the shots or afterwards. Just the moment you get zapped. So you walk out of there just fine. They say it takes 7-10days to see hair fall out but that wasn't my case. I never literally saw hairs dying and falling out. I waited a week then decided to shave. After I noticed that it took longer for the hairs to grow back. About a week- before my pubic hair would grow back in 2days. My underarm hairs every day. The second time I shaved was 2wks ir so after my treatment. This is when the results were more evident. I haven't seen hair grow back in my underarms since. There are a few I can count with one hand that are so light in color. Before my hairs were coarse, and dark that after a couple hours of shaving it looked like hairs were growing back already. Well I'm extremely glad with my results so far.

Oops, ideal image not body details

It's actually ideal image not body details. My fault lol. So I asked what the copay was for touchups with the lifetime warranty after the 9 included treatments- it's $50/armpits, $90/bikini plus. I start tomorrow :) lets see.

Nice, Good luck! I started my brazillian and underarm treatments about 3 weeks ago and the hairs are dropping out like crazy already lol. The area is still dark from years of shaving, but I hope the treatments will help with that too over time.

omg ! this really works . at first i was skeptical. but weeks later and little to no hair has grown back after only one treatment! cant wait for the other 8. i did the same spots u did.
October 10, 2013
I see a huge difference so far. Just had my second treatment last week. My aesthetician said I have very sensitive skin and prone to folliculitis. Some of the hairs grew back ingrown, so she treated those. She also recommended Bliss ingrown eliminating pads and Whish ingrown hair serum to help. You did pay alot compared to what the prices are now (which have gone down tremendously), but if your happy in the end, that's all that matters. You paid the value you felt it was worth.
September 13, 2013
It's a shame you are paying that much. I am a CCE, CME and have been doing laser hair removal procedures for several years. I charge $299 for full bikini and $249 for underarms, 6 treatments each. You may want to shop around a little.

are your results permanent? and are the lasers strong enough for an olive toned female with dark coarse hair?
January 7, 2014
Where are you located?
January 19, 2016
What are you prices for full body and what laser do you use?
September 17, 2013
ConnieM, Charging 3,615 USD is a lot of money just for the bikini area - even if it is a brazilian! I think you should try to find if other places offer laser hair removal for less money.

this prices includes my underarms aswell. I did one treatment so far and i havent shaved my underarms in 3weeks. before i would see it growing back after a day or two! now the hairs that i do see come back are soooo thin and barely any. Im actually pretty excited for the other 8 treatments if the results are this good so far.

also includes my booty crack area lol and a lifetime membership. 9 treatments for each area.

There are NO hair removal lasers in existence that leave PERMANENT results. Permanent reduction, yes, but not 100% clearance for life. It does work...and for far less money than that! These companies charging astronomical rates and promising lifetime satisfaction are blowing smoke up your booty crack! LOL

LOL, that was funny.

Wow! I agree that is a ripoff! I own a laser salon in NY. We charge $300 for 6 underarms and $720 for 6 brazilians. And in my opinion...you will need to go more frequently thwn every 8 weeks in the beginning. Sorry!

Hey thanks for your advice. Honestly I thought it was pricey but these are lifetime guaranteed results. I did only ONE treatment and I swear to you, I barely see any hairs now. My armpits have been hair free for weeks. Just the other day I noticed a few extremely thin,fine hairs. Before I would need to shave every other day or so.
September 23, 2013
I live in Miami and I have NEVER seen a quote like that! That is ridiculous!! I paid $600. You need to get prices from other laser hair removal professionals and confront them - they need to give you over 50% of your money back. They are taking advantage of you and lying by saying they are throwing in the underarms. I am disgusted that they would take that much money from someone so young and inexperienced.

Im a believer that "other places" only guarantee temporary hair loss. My skin has improved. I had irritation, red bumps, ingrowns, the works! I went in- did one treatment and I haven't shaved in over 3weeks. There is a patch by my hipbone in my bikini area that I have a tattoo so they cant laser that area- there is where I notice the major difference. I a whole patch of untreated irritated skin and hairs. The difference is like night and day. Maybe pricey- but aren't guaranteed lifetime results worth it?

What place might you recommend for a good full body price?
