Using temporary hair removal treatments like shaving, tweezing, and waxing to remove unwanted body hair can become tedious. If you are tired of the nicks and searing discomfort caused by shaving and waxing and need longer-lasting results, you may want to explore laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal, one of the most popular cosmetic treatments, is a way to get rid of unwanted body hair and finally, unwanted body hair. Those new to the operation typically have many queries, including the expense. The following information pertains to laser hair removal.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal is a permanent method for removing body hair that uses laser light pulses to damage the hair follicle. Shaving eliminates the tip of the hair follicle, whereas waxing takes the hair from the root; in both situations, the hair will regrow. Laser light, however, destroys hair follicles so they cannot regrow.
Laser hair removal requires a genuine laser that targets pigment,” explains Anna Guanche, M.D., board-certified dermatologist and founder of Bella Skin Institute in Calabasas, California. When the pigment in the hair bulb is heated, the surrounding tissue is gradually damaged, preventing the growth of new hair. Indeed, studies have demonstrated that laser hair removal is an efficient method for removing unwanted body hair.

Dr. Guanche explains that before your laser hair removal treatment, you will have a consultation to determine your skin type, hair type, and general expectations. The professional then evaluates if you are a good candidate, and if you are, you can go ahead with the laser experience. It is possible to administer a topical numbing lotion to the region before the laser to reduce any discomfort. Before receiving treatment, coarse hair may be shaved.
Dr. Guanche explains that a topical soothing gel will be given after the laser treatment. In addition, sun protection factor (SPF) is often administered to the treated region (if exposed to the sun).
Average price for laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is frequently considered an investment in attractiveness. It is more expensive than shaving or waxing, but when treatments are no longer necessary, you will save money on body hair removal expenses over time.
Numerous variables impact the cost of this operation. Dermatologist Corey L. Hartman, M.D., founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology in Birmingham, Alabama, states, “Costs for laser hair removal vary by body region treated, geographical location, the experience of the individual doing the operation, and duration of the process.” Individual therapy session prices often vary between \$100 and \$850.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2020, the average cost of laser hair removal without additional charges was $389.
We examine the typical expenses of common treatment areas below. Remember that the typical fees below are per treatment, and according to Dr. Guanche, you may require four to six sessions.
Cost of Laser Hair Removal for Large Areas on Average
Laser hair removal on significant body portions, such as the back or legs, will generally be more expensive than laser hair removal on smaller areas. According to Dr. Guanche, a broad region such as the back or legs might cost upwards of $700 for each treatment.
Cost of Laser Hair Removal for Small Areas on Average
Smaller regions of the body will be less expensive to treat. This includes the bikini line, underarms, and facial regions such as the chin, lips, and sideburns. “The bikini may cost between $255 and $365 for each treatment, depending on whether it is a Brazilian [removal of hair from the labial to the perianal areas] or a typical v-shaped bikini [removal of hair from the groin areas, leaving a V or patch of hair on the mons pubis],” explains Dr. Guanche. She says that the typical cost per treatment for the lower face and chin is around $250, while the cost for underarm hair removal ranges from $180 to $230.
What is included in the laser hair removal price?
According to Dr. Guanche and Dr. Hartman, the cost of laser hair removal typically covers the office visit, the use of topical anesthetic to dull the discomfort, the laser treatment, and the post-care topical application of items such as soothing agents and sunscreen.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Are Necessary?
Laser hair removal therapy is not a quick cure, but it may eventually be a more permanent answer for hair removal. One laser hair removal treatment may be sufficient to make hair thinner, lighter, and more delicate, but you will need four to six treatments to achieve total hair removal. Dr. Guanche suggests doing touch-ups every four to six weeks over the first year, depending on how fast your hair grows.
According to Dr. Guanche, many treatments are required for total effectiveness. “The laser therapy can diminish the size and diameter of the hair, put it into total remission, or not affect all of the hair. Therefore, repeated treatments at four to six-week intervals are required.” After your initial operation, you may require annual touch-ups for several years.
Does Health Insurance Pay for Laser Hair Removal?
You should not expect your health insurance to pay laser hair removal expenditures. Dr. Hartman observes that you may be able to pay for the expenses with a flexible spending account.
Dr. Guanche notes that insurance may cover laser hair removal in exceptional instances. Patients with diseases such as pilonidal cysts or hidradenitis suppurativa may fall into this category (skin conditions that can be painful and can be treated with laser hair removal). In her experience, however, convincing insurance companies to pay for laser hair removal is difficult.
Always ask the receptionist whether package alternatives or flexible payment arrangements are available.
The Advantages of Laser Hair Reduction
Laser hair removal may be costly, but it has a variety of advantages, including:
- Gets rid of unsightly body hair. This is one of the most permanent methods for removing/reducing body hair.
- It leaves the skin smooth and even. According to Dr. Hartman, laser hair removal can “alleviate skin issues linked with hair development, such as folliculitis and discoloration,” and “decrease pigmentation issues associated with undesired hair.
- Reduces the time required to remove body hair. After completing laser treatments, you will no longer need to spend time shaving or waxing. Dr. Guanche states, “There is no need for depilation, waxing, shaving, or any discomfort associated with these procedures.”
- There is no chance of ingrown hairs. After laser hair removal, ingrown hairs, which frequently accompany shaving and waxing, are “a thing of the past,” according to Dr. Guanche.
