Laser hair removal can be a very effective means of removing unwanted body hair and keeping it off for a very long period of time, if done properly. This is the main reason why it is so expensive. If you are looking to get it done cheap, you will be in for a very disappointing surprise.

Laser hair removal is generally applied in any area except adjacent to the eye. However, keep in mind that the bigger the area of the body you wish to apply this treatment, the higher the costs will be.

The areas that are most commonly requested are; the upper lip, neck, face, underarms, back, chest, abdomen, legs and bikini line.

Small areas such as the face or bikini line can cost an average of $300 per session. Larger areas such as the legs or back can cost an average of $500 – $800 per session. Don't forget that you most probably need multiple sessions for the treatment to really be effective.

Yes, it is expensive. Understand however, that you are paying not only for their expertise, but also for the time and money spent in keeping up with the latest technologies. Last but not least, remember that not everyone will have the same result or need the same number of sessions. It all depends on the color of your hair and skin. People that have light colored skin and dark hair generally make the best candidates.
