The greatest thing about laser hair removal is how it is able to quickly remove your unwanted hair. Many of us will spend every other day shaving our legs, face, or arms to keep the hair at bay. It is frustrating and for many of us it is not always worth it. One of the main questions that people will ask is how much it will cost.
The first thing you need to know is that one treatment will not be enough to remove all of the hair. The amount of sessions that you need can only be determined by the specialist you see. They will have the answer based upon how thick your hair is and how large the area they are working on is.
Rough Estimate
To help give people a rough estimate on how much they could be spending they researched some of the laser hair clinics and medical spas around the nation. These prices include the fees within each city and where the clinic is located (urban, rural, or suburban area). Keep in mind that this fee covers the cost for the specialist and nothing else.
- Face & Neck $600 to $900
- Back Hair $600 to $900
- Legs $600 to $850
- Chest $350 to $600
- Arms $350 to $500
- Under Arms $250 to $350
- Bikini $350 to $500
How Are You Charged
Most specialists will charge their customers in three different ways; by time, by pulse, or a flat price. The method will vary depending on what type of clinic or other business you use, how experienced the specialist is, and where the clinic is located.
Time
The specialist will charge the patient based on the amount of time that is needed per session. There are some that might charge $100 every fifteen minutes and work on you for thirty minutes to an hour. The price will vary depending on what area they will work on. The smaller the area the lower the price.
Pulse
Other specialists will charge people based upon the number of pulses that is used during the session. The pulse is the beam of light that is being shot at the hair follicle. One pulse usually takes a second and may take out a hundred hairs at one time.
Flat Price
This is most common way that specialists will charge their patients. The price will include any extra fees and will vary depending on the amount of hair they are removing, the pattern of the growth, and how thick it is.
