Laser
Hair Removal Prices - Guidelines
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. To
ensure maximum results with laser hair removal, follow up with a
hair inhibitor.
