Laser Hair Removal Essentials

The cost of laser hair removal varies from state to state and from practitioner. In this write up, we have tried to analyze data from various angles and tried to bring forth the nearest approximation of the costs. The overall cost of your treatment usually depends upon three factors- the fixed costs of the clinic, the cost per pulse and the number of sessions you might have to undergo to attain permanent hair removal.

Some clinics have fixed costs for each body part- for example legs ($350 on an average), while some other clinics offer fixed cost packages for the complete body (upward of $1000). Fixed cost is usually dependant upon the expertise of the doctor you are consulting and the kind of equipment he is using. If the doctor is using a high end machine, then obviously, the fixed cost with be high. The cost per pulse, as the name suggests, varies with the pulse that is chosen for your skin tone.

Different pulse rates suit different body tones and therefore, different cost is charged for different pulse rates. Usually, the cost umbrella of various pulse rates lies between $250 and $400. This figure might vary with the doctor and the clinic, but the overall figure generally remains in this ballpark.

Treatment or session time depends on the duration for which you might need to get treated upon in order to achieve the desired results. A typical session at a reputed clinic lasts for roughly 15 minutes and generally, the cost of one session is in the ballpark of $75 to $100. Therefore, for an hour of treatment, you will have to spend anywhere from $300 to $400, depending upon the charges levied by your clinic.

Adding all these figures up, the average cost of a session comes out to be around $400. These costs vary in different regions of the country. For example, in the Midwest, such treatment would cost $450, while down South; such a treatment is available for $250 only.

The actual cost also varies according the area you want to get treated upon. For example, back hair removal would cost you, on an average, $650 per session, whereas underarm hair removal would cost you a meager $150.
