Laser Hair Removal Cost?

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

 Physical pain is one thing, but for most people, the question How much does laser hair removal cost? is a bigger factor in deciding whether or not to get treatments. The stinging sensation will pass quickly. A big credit card bill will not.

Unfortunately, there’s no easy answer to questions about laser hair removal pricing. If someone tells you treatments cost $400-500 on average, they wouldn’t be lying to you exactly. However, there are so many factors that go into the price that this information is practically meaningless.

Factors involved

Here are some of the things that determine how much laser hair removal costs:

• What part of your body you’re having treated: Generally, the smaller the area that’s being lasered, the lower the cost. So if you’re having your back done you can expect to pay more than someone getting their back treated (all else being equal, of course).

• What sort of provider you go to: You’ll pay more if you go to a plastic surgeon or dermatologist than if you go to laser treatment center or spa.

• The part of the country you live in: People in Long Island don’t pay the same as people in Santa Monica, who don’t pay the same as people in Minneapolis. In general, the higher the cost of living in your area, the more you will pay for laser hair removal.

• The number of treatments you need: You typically need a minimum of four treatments, but the provider you work with may recommend more. Or it may depend on your progress. Before scheduling your service, you may want to ask the provider if they offer “touchup” appointments in case you need them after your regimen is done, and if so, how much they cost (they’re generally less).

• Provider differences: Just like every other industry, 5the service providers set their own prices. If you go to someone with a great reputation (which we recommend), that person is likely going to charge more.

The last thing:


We don’t recommend skimping too much when it comes to a cosmetic procedure, even one as safe and established as laser hair removal. Perhaps the question shouldn’t be How much does laser hair removal cost? but rather How much does the best laser hair removal in my area cost? The best way to answer that question is to ask around.
