A lot of patients find the treatment's lasting affects and reduced hair growth worth the cost, in spite of that fact that laser hair removal can be expensive. The cost of a laser hair removal treatment depend on the treated area, the practitian performing the treatment, the number of procedures in a package.
All individuals have their own peculiarities of hair growth, therefore it is difficult to evaluate the number of procedures needed to remove your unwanted hair, or the exact cost of doing so. The best thing you can do is to arrange a consultation with a practitioner in order to understand better your type of skin and hair.
Some men can suffer from dense and thick hair on their backs while others may have sparse and fine hair. Of course there are all variables of hair growth in between. All women have some hair on their face but some of them have facial hair that is noticeable only because it is thicker and darker. Other women have facial hair because of hormonal factors.
For many patients, three treatments may be enough to remove hair and stay “hair-free” for many months. Other patients may need more or less than three laser hair removal treatments. Many offices will offer a package of treatment sessions at a discount.
The price of laser hair removal can be different, but very often various prices for laser hair removal become the same or similar in the end. The cost of laser hair removal depend on some factors.
Flat Fee
Laser hair removal prices are sometimes set on a flat fee basis. The flat fee might be on a per treatment basis or a package of treatments basis. It means that all men's backs are $500 per treatment all of the time no matter how much hair you have on your back, or it that per treatment flat fee could be based on your particular back hair growth peculiarities. The clinic might charge for a flat fee package of treatments which may or may not vary according to the individual's body hair growth patterns.
Time
Similar to the common pricing structure of electrolysis some laser clinics charge per 15 minute segment for laser hair removal. Let's say a clinic charges $100 per 15 minute segment of laser hair removal. If a man's back needs about an hour to be treated it would cost $400 per treatment. Of course there are some factors which influence the cost of hair removal. They are: the amount of hair to be removed, the speed of the laser technician and the speed of the laser hair removal machine.
Fee Per Pulse
Lasers produce pulses of high-energy light. Laser hair removal pricing can be based on the number of pulses that it takes to treat an area of body hair. One pulse lasts about one second and can eliminate more or less than a hundred hairs and can vary with the area of a dime to the area of a quarter. Some laser clinics charge by the pulse. For example, a laser clinic might charge a dollar per pulse with a minimum fee per area. A bikini might cost $300 based on a minimum charge of $150 which includes the first 150 pulses and a dollar per pulse thereafter. You only pay for actual pulses unless you have fewer pulses than the minimum. After each treatment your price per treatment may decline as you have less hair to be removed. There are great variety of lasers with different spot sizes and different prices per pulse.
