subject: Skin Care Treatment Pricing Information: Laser Hair Removal Cost [print this page]


Laser hair removal typically costs from $150 to $500, depending on the area of the body being treated. The usual rule of thumb is the smaller the treatment area, the lower the cost. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons says the average cost of laser treatments in America is about $429 per treatment. For an area like the bikini area, a single treatment is going to cost between $350 and $500. However, if you need or want to remove hair from your back, which is a larger area, this procedure could cost nearly $1000 per treatment. The chest region will be less, about the same as in the bikini area. Patients can expect to pay higher prices for legs but lower prices for arms. Underarms are probably the cheapest area to do laser hair removal on, coming in at about $250.

Experts say that annually, laser hair removal is less expensive than over all body waxing when comparing the two procedures. When considering laser hair removal, it is important to remember that the length of the treatment will vary according to body part or area. Also most patients require four to six sessions to permanently reduce the hair growth on the body regardless of what part you're working on. The more sessions that you sign up for or the bigger the package deal the better the discount.

During the initial consultation ask your doctor for financing options and specialized payment plans that he or she might accept. Many doctors work with local financing firms who are willing to fund major medical and cosmetic procedures, to allow the treatments to commence immediately while paying for them over time in the future.

One way to cut down on the cost is to comparison price shop. There is no standard pricing for laser hair removal, so two doctors in the same building could offer the same treatment with the same options, yet charge vastly different prices. So shop around before signing on the dotted line. Make sure that the person doing the procedures is a licensed and board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to ensure the procedure is safe for you.
