Laser hair removal prices can vary greatly depending on the geographic area. A candidate's physical features also affect laser hair removal prices.

According to one authority, an absolute requirement is that the hair must be darker than the surrounding skin.

White skin with dark hair responds best. Persons with dark, coarse hair are the easiest to treat as dark hair contains melanin, a dark pigment which attracts the laser light so more laser energy is absorbed. Fewer sessions are therefore needed, obviously affecting laser hair removal prices.

Light colored hair is more difficult to treat and blonde and red hair are very difficult to treat requiring multiple sessions with varied results.

Anyone on a diet high in beta-carotene will need to change eating habits if they want best results. Beta-carotene, found in vitamin A, carrots, squash and other vegetables produces a yellow or orange color in the skin which absorbs the laser energy and interferes with it reaching the hair follicle.

As beta-carotene can remain in the body for months, an adjustment in diet may be needed well in advance for optimum results.

The whole area on the back or the legs can cost considerably more while smaller areas such as the upper lip can cost less.

Individual consultations are necessary to establish accurate laser hair removal prices. Note: Due to the variables involved it is impossible to predict exactly what the results will be for any individual. Many reputable clinics avoid giving guarantees for this reason.

A consumer guide on laser hair removal gives $500 per treatment session as a reasonable average with 3 to 4 sessions often necessary. Another survey on laser hair removal prices in the U.S.A. gives these averages according to area:

Average Cost for 1 treatment:

• Midwest - $497
• East - $458
• South - $307
• West - $469

When checking laser hair removal prices in your area, ask for special offers.

Also you could offer to pay for all treatments upfront in exchange for a discount.

Additionally, you could try and get a discount by giving a referral if you have a friend who also wishes to receive laser hair removal treatment.

Some practitioners offer a 6 treatment package which includes 1 free if you pay for 5.

Others may even offer a 50% discount on the regular laser hair removal prices if you need more than 6 treatments.

In other cases, laser hair removal prices can be reduced by seeking discounts on additional areas to be treated. Some for example, offer a 10% reduction in cost for each additional area.

A final tip - to clarify the laser hair removal prices you are given, be sure to find out whether the quote is for both arms, underarms, or legs or just one.

Conclusion: Laser hair removal prices can vary greatly. Do your research, use the guidelines above in trying to get discount prices and go with the clinic that offers you a professional service for a reasonable price.
