How to Figure Out Laser Hair Removal Cost

Laser hair removal cost per treatment varies greatly based on the dermatology clinic at which you're receiving treatment. It also depends on the type of laser the clinic recommends and the portion of your body where you're about to receive treatment.

Let's take the hypothetical example of laser hair removal cost as it relates to getting your upper lip de-furred. Since this is a fairly small portion of your body, you can expect to pay less than in other spots. Some clinics offer package deals totaling $350 for four to eight treatments, depending on how they charge. This includes the preliminary removal plus a few touch-ups if needed.

Next, let's look at another popular area of skin '" the bikini line. This area is larger and more tender, and as such demands a greater price for treatment. You might be looking at several hundred dollars in laser hair removal cost to get your bikini line tailored to your liking.

Some women want to remove the hair on their legs so they don't have to shave anymore. This will cost between $500 and $800, generally. It will also take several treatments to pulse the entire area, so be prepared for a good deal of pain and discomfort during this time. Get it done before summer, too, or your legs might be lobster-red in your miniskirt and heels.

Expect a full-body laser hair removal cost to pretty much max out your credit card. You might spend between $1000 and $3000 to get your hair removed on the legs, lips, arms, underarms, bikini area, chest and back. For some women, the price is worth it.

Keep in mind that no matter how much the laser hair removal cost, you have no guarantee of keeping the hair off forever. Sometimes 10 percent or so of the hair can grow back, causing shadows of dark hair where the original follicles used to grow. Be prepared that you'll have to shell out for touch-ups or wax treatments from time to time.
