Laser Hair Removal Prices - Guidelines

What Will Affect the Laser Hair Removal Price?

Based on the 2000 American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the laser hair removal prices are ranged by body area per treatment.

This type of removal for chin is $50-150, full face $150-300, upper lip $50-150, underarms $50-150, and regular bikini $50-150.This type of removal can cost you in one of there ways actually (they can charge you with pulse fee, time fee, or with a flat fee). This price by flat fee might either by charging per treatment or by a package of treatments.

Certainly, the price based on time is generally influenced by the laser machine, the amount of hair removed, the speed of the technician, and the laser removal training of the laser technician.

Moreover, charged by a fee per pulse happens for this price. For example, if your laser clinic charges by the pulse with a minimum laser hair removal price; a full face could have a minimum fee of $150 with the first 150 pulses for free and charge a dollar for every extra pulse after the first 150, and it would cost $180 if it took 30 additional pulses.

Laser hair removal prices can vary greatly depending on the geographic area.

A candidate's physical features also affect laser hair removal prices. According to one authority, an absolute requirement is that the hair must be darker than the surrounding skin.

The whole area on the back or the legs can cost considerably more while smaller areas such as the upper lip obviously cost less.

Individual consultations are necessary to establish accurate laser hair removal prices.

Note: Due to the variables involved it is impossible to predict exactly what the results will be for any individual. Many reputable clinics avoid giving guarantees for this reason.
