Many people these days are considering laser hair removal but wonder about laser hair removal cost. In today’s article I’d like to take a minute and discuss the factors that contribute to the cost of laser hair removal.


The reason I’m writing this article is because I received an e-mail from someone asking how much does laser hair removal cost. My website has been about tattoo removal up until now but it seems like a logical path of evolution for it to expand into hair removal and acne laser treatment as well. I spent quite a bit of time researching laser hair removal costs and believe I’ve got a pretty good idea of how to answer the question.

As it turns out, the price of laser hair removal is determined by many of the same factors that determine the price of tattoo removal. There are several variables that come into play when determining how much you’ll have to pay for this type of service.

  •  The first factor that contributes to laser hair removal cost is your geographic location.  If you live in Beverly Hills California, you’re likely to pay more for laser hair removal than if you live in Riddle Oregon. 
  • Another factor that contributes to the cost is the density of hair.  If you are a man with a very hairy back, you’re going to pay more for the procedure than a woman with a little bit of hair on the upper lip tht she wants to have removed. 
  • Another factor is who you choose to go to.  If you choose to go to a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist who only does laser hair removal as a side service for some of their customers on the rare occasion, you’ll pay more than if you go to a specialty clinic that does a lot of laser hair removal.
  • Another factor is how the clinic that you choose to go to bills for the service.  Some laser hair removal clinics charge for each individual pulse of the laser while others might offer flat rate fees for particular services.

It’s important to understand that like laser tattoo removal, laser hair removal requires you to go in for multiple treatment sessions.  Laser hair removal is not permanent and might more accurately be called laser hair reduction.  What the procedure actually does is slow the growth of hair to the point that it almost doesn’t grow in all. 

According to the American Society For Aesthetic Plastic Surgery,  the average cost for laser hair removal is $347 per treatment session.  While it’s not possible to know for sure how many treatment sessions will be needed for the results of laser hair removal to be satisfactory,  my preliminary research indicates that it would likely be between three and eight sessions.  Based on the average reported price of $347 per treatment session, we can deduce that the costs of laser hair removal would likely range from $1,041 to $2,776.

The best way for you to know for sure what you might have to pay for laser hair removal as to sit down if with a laser hair removal specialist and have a consultation and ask them how much does laser hair removal cost.
