Some factors determining laser hair removal prices

Laser hair removal is a very effective procedure of permanent hair reduction. In fact it is more successful than any other hair removal method available. The cost of laser hair removal treatment is relatively high but in the long term it is justified considering that hair reduction is permanent.

Laser hair removal is not a one-time procedure. At least 3-6 laser treatments are are needed in 4-6 weeks intervals, but some individuals might need up to 8 sessions in order to maximize results.

Laser hair removal prices vary considerably depending on location, as well as particular laser clinic you choose, and are affected by many other factors also. The biggest factor is the area of the body been treated. Some of the most popular treatment areas are face, upper lip, underarms, back, abdomen, bikini line, legs.

Small areas treatment will cost less. Laser hair removal prices of upper lip for example might cost between about $50 and $200 per session, bikini line $100-$300, while larger areas like full legs can cost at least $500 per treatment. Laser back hair removal might cost at least $400-$600 per treatment.

The exact price of the treatment is influenced also by the thickness and density of the hair in the treated area. Other important factors which determine the exact pricing are the type of the laser been used and the way laser clinic charges.

The laser clinic can charge either one flat fee for removal, or by the amount of time it takes per treatment, or they can charge fee per pulse (based on the number of laser pulses required for treatment).

In general you will be charged higher amounts if your hair removal treatment is made by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist than through a laser hair removal clinic.

Since the prices vary greatly from clinic to clinic, do thorough research to find a pricing that is right for you. Get quotes from several clinics and compare the prices, visit clinics near you.
