Introduction:
Laser hair removal has become a popular option for those seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair and the clear choice for long-term results. No more constant shaving or painful waxing sessions – laser hair removal offers a more permanent solution. However, one of the first questions many people have is, “How much does laser hair removal cost?” In this blog post, we’ll explore the factors that influence the cost of laser hair removal and provide insights to help you understand what to expect. We will also explore how GoLaser is different in its pricing model and why we get all clients started with a free consultation.
Understanding Laser Hair Removal Costs:
- Treatment Area:
The cost of laser hair removal varies depending on the area being treated. Smaller areas like the upper lip or underarms will typically cost less than larger areas such as the legs or back.
Many clients come to GoLaser thinking they want to get “full body laser”, and ask us “what is the cost of full body laser hair removal”. They do this because that is what some other clinic or friend had recommended, but after closely examining their hair (thickness, color, etc.), we determine that they would be wasting money on a full body package, and instead we suggest the areas they should focus on where they are likely to get the best results.
We do this because of the way we sell our services, mainly through our GoLaser Guarantee packages, which have a fixed price for unlimited laser for two years, plus 1-free touch up per year FOR LIFE. Therefore, we would not want to sell someone a laser service that will not be effective for them. By doing this, we save our clients money and avoid disappointment as our interests are aligned (we want to get you your best results possible, rather than having someone come in to our clinic indefinitely for laser treatments in areas that will not respond well to laser). This is further covered in the next section below, discussing the number of treatments needed for laser hair removal.
- Number of Sessions:
Laser hair removal is not a one-time treatment. Multiple sessions are usually required to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions needed depends on factors like hair color, thickness, and the individual’s skin type. Typically, a series of 6-8 sessions spaced several weeks apart are recommended for best results.
At GoLaser, since we provide what we call the GoLaser Guarantee package – which includes an initial two years of unlimited laser hair removal sessions. This reduces the risk that you may be the unlucky client that needed more sessions and didn’t budget for them. Completing your laser journey by adding more sessions to your laser package is often really expensive, and this is never a risk at GoLaser.
Our 2-year package is also ideal for clients struggling with PCOS. Having a fixed cost for your laser needs is critical when clients come in battling with hair growth caused by PCOS, which can be particularly stubborn.
- Clinic Reputation and Expertise:
The reputation and expertise of the clinic or provider performing the laser hair removal can also influence the cost. Clinics with highly trained staff and advanced equipment may charge more for their services. At GoLaser, We focus on client satisfaction and therefore invest in training staff and providing extended hours, which increases customer satisfaction, convenience and experience.
- Technology Used:
Different types of laser technologies are available for hair removal, each with its pros and cons. Some clinics may use older or less effective technology, which could result in lower prices but may also require more sessions to achieve desired results (therefore costing more in the end).
At GoLaser, we are confident we can offer great results because we use industry-leading, FDA approved laser equipment that is safe and effective for both dark and lighter skin tones. We invest to upgrade our technology as soon as new innovations are released, whether it is for laser strength or cooling, to keep ourselves at the forefront of the industry, giving our clients their best results possible. Given that laser hair removal is all we do, we want to make sure we have all the latest tools to get you the results you want!
- Geographic Location:
Laser hair removal costs can vary significantly depending on where you live. Major cities or areas with a higher cost of living may have higher prices compared to smaller towns or rural areas.
Cost Considerations:
While the upfront cost of laser hair removal may seem high compared to other hair removal methods, it’s essential to consider the long-term savings. Over time, laser hair removal can be more cost-effective than regularly purchasing razors, shaving creams, or booking waxing appointments.
Additionally, GoLaser offers the GoLaser Guarantee and includes in-house financing options to make laser hair removal more affordable. Be sure to inquire about any specials or promotions when visiting our clinics 🙂
Conclusion:
Laser hair removal offers a convenient and long-lasting solution to unwanted hair, but it’s essential to understand the cost factors involved. By considering factors such as treatment area, number of sessions, clinic reputation, technology used, and geographic location, you can better estimate the cost of laser hair removal and make an informed decision.
