The Cost of Laser Hair Removal

Author: Katrina Pells

Laser treatment has become a common method for hair removal. People would rather pay once than have to go to the salon every week for waxing.

Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiance is the meaning of the acronym laser. The laser light method works by using a concentrated beam of light used to stop the growth of hair from its roots without damaging the skin. The wavelength of the laser will depend on its color and the longer the wavelength the better because it can reach even the deepest of hair.

Keep in mind that there is more than one kind of laser light system. Thus, it is best that you get to know the different devices before choosing the one that will best suit you because the cost of laser hair removal is not cheap at all.

The Ruby type of laser is the first laser system to come out when laser hair removal treatments just started becoming known to the public. This type of laser does not work well on tanned skin and it is no longer commonly used because it can only treat a small area of skin at a time.

The Alexandrite type of laser is that fastest working device and it works on almost all skin types. This laser is usually used when treating a large surface area. The most effective laser for dark skinned individuals is the Diode laser. Although it can treat a large area fairly quickly, this type of device will not be very effective on lighter and finer hair.

The Nd Yag laser is not only useful for removing hair but it can also treat tattoos and pigmented lesions. This device is perfect for all skin types and makes it more advanced in comparison to other systems because it has a longer wavelength.

Although it is not a type of laser, the Intense Pulsed Light Device is still used for hair removal. However if you still want to undergo this type of treatment, make sure that the therapist you go to is very skilled and experienced in using this device because it is a machine that is difficult to operate.

The different laser light systems being used might contribute to the differences in the cost of laser hair removal but it is safe to make estimates on their prices because the different devices and their costs do not veer too far away from each other. The maximum cost of laser hair removal for your upper lip might run up to two hundred dollars per procedure.

For a full faced-beard, the price can go as high as three hundred fifty dollars per session. For chin hair removal, it may only cost one hundred fifty dollars per session. The price for a hair removal session on the chest or the back of the neck will also cost you three hundred dollars. The price range for underarms can reach to two hundred seventy-five dollars and treatment for the full back can set you behind for about a thousand dollars.

These prices are just estimates. Factors such as skin color, hair type and time duration of treatment can still affect the total cost. Thus, it is best to consult with your therapist before starting the treatments and to ask questions regarding the cost of laser hair removal.
