Laser hair removal cost may keep it from being the most popular method of hair removal, but it is all the same a rapidly growing business.
Laser hair removal cost is the highest of any other hair removal procedure. Prices range from $150 to $500 per treatment.
Laser hair removal cost depends on the size of the area and color of hair you want removed. Usually, only two to four treatments are needed to effectively remove hair because laser hair removal is capable of affecting hundreds of hair follicles at one time. Call around to your local clinics to get some idea of how many treatments you'll need, which will determine your total cost.
The main reason laser hair removal cost is so high is that it's a process that should be performed in a physician's office or in select salons that are licensed to operate the Class II medical device.
In some states, it is legal for a nonmedical person to be trained to use a laser, which can lower laser hair removal cost. But especially since not all types of lasers can be used on every body, you're better off paying the additional cost to work with a physician who's a certified laser hair removal specialist.
The technical term for laser hair removal is "selective photothermolysis". 'Photo' means light, and 'thermolysis' means, "destroying with heat".
The way laser hair removal works is a focused beam of laser light is absorbed by the melanin, (pigment), in dark hair, that damages the hair root in the follicle, (the depression from which the hair emerges), to at least slow down the growth of the hair.
The laser hair removal method is 'selective' because it targets only the hair and not the surrounding skin, which, depending on the particular machine being used, is cooled with either a cooling tip, a gel or a spray.
And while laser hair removal isn't as painful as electrolysis, you might want to speak with your physician about using a topical anesthetic.
One thing you should know - While there are reports that laser hair removal has eliminated 30-40% of hair for as long as a year - Here in the United States, it is illegal to claim laser hair removal is permanent.
So if you're thinking the laser hair removal cost seems reasonable for a "life time of being free of unwanted hair" - Think again. And think about what other hair removal methods are available.
