The cost of laser hair removal depends on several different factors. These factors include where the procedure is performed, who performs the procedures, area treated, number of treatments, and the type of laser or light based device used to perform laser hair removal. Prices can vary significantly for laser hair removal but the most important factor should be the experience of the person performing the treatments. The old adage, "You get what you pay for." applies especially to laser hair removal and other cosmetic treatments. While many providers perform these services, some business utilize laser technicians without any medical background to utilize these powerful lasers and light based devices. Newer technology get safer and more effective however the basic principles remain the same. Typically, aestheticians or other technicians operate intense pulses light or IPL devices. Utilization of these machines on darker or ethnic skin such as South American, Asian, or African American skin can results in burns and pigment changes. While complications from these lasers can occur anytime, it is more prudent to have laser hair removal performed by medical professionals who understand the dangers, the differences in skin types, and finally how to treat complications should they arise.
In New Jersey, a class IV laser can only be operated by a physician or a medical professional such as a physicians assistant or nurse practitioner working under the physician. Be wary of franchise based treatment centers employing "laser technicians" or aestheticians to perform these treatments. While the treatments typically cost less, these employees do not understand the differences in skin types or how to treat complications once they arise. Often times they are only trained on one type of device such as an IPL device which may not be appropriate for everyone. You can save up to 50% when going to these types of locations but you are potentially risking injury to yourself.
Number of treatments also factor into the cost of the laser hair removal procedure. Many will try to sell you packages, where you can get cost savings. Typically 4 to 6 treatments are required to get significant reduction in hair growth. However, people with finer or lighter hair may require more treatments and may not see significant reduction after 4 to 6 treatments. Therefore it is important to go to a place where there are many different types of lasers as one may not be suitable for all skin types. Finally, those with very light colored hair, fine hair, or white hair may not see a reduction in hair growth at all. Remember in most laser hair removal centers, you will pay for each treatment you get. Even thought laser hair removal results in permanent reduction of hair growth, it is impossible to remove 100% of the hair forever. At some point you may have regrowth of hair. This hair tends to be finer and lighter in color and may be more difficult to remove. Rarely, an increase in hair growth has been reported after the hair removal procedure. Also those with hormonal conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome may require more treatments or may not experience a reduction unless the condition has been treated.
Finally, prices for laser hair removal can vary based on the area treated. In general, the larger the area the more you can expect to pay for the treatment. Larger areas require more time in terms of preparation and time required to treat the area. Smaller areas such as the lip and chin may only take a few minutes while larger areas can take up to an hour or more. The time necessary for laser hair removal also depends on the laser device used for the treatment. Some laser with fast repetition rates as well as single pass treatments finish faster than those requiring multiple passes or slower repetition rates.
