Laser hair removal


Recommended Posts

Has anyone done this, specifically on your legs? I finally got up the nerve to walk into a medispa-type place yesterday to ask about $$$ (and for the record, it really, really bugs me that none of the providers are up-front about pricing on their their websites or over the phone).

 

If you have had it done, would you mind sharing about long-term effectiveness, how often your provider said to go (this one was adamant that it be every 8 weeks for legs, every 6 for bikini line, because of the hair growth cycle--is everyone's hair growth cycle really the same?), how many treatments it took and, of course, how much it cost.

 

Thanks,

Terri

I realized my initial question about cost was ridiculously nosy, and I didn't mean it to be. I guess what I am finding surprising is that the way I thought the pricing worked isn't actually the way it worked at this place. I thought it would be done by area: lower legs, $X, upper legs $X, etc., and one session would be one visit, to have the entire area zapped. This place, though, counts a session by minutes, and it sounded like one visit could actually take up 2 or 3 sessions, depending on how long it took. But really--I have no idea how many minutes MY legs would need. So if you've had it done, or even looked into it seriously, I would appreciate any input on how "your" provider priced sessions.

My sister has done a lot of laser removal. While I don't know the prices she paid, my guess based on conversations in the past would lead me to say somewhere in the $1-$2K range.

 

This particular place sells packages priced by area being treated. For instance a package for the chin is 6 sessions. You can also get packages for upper lip. However, if you choose to do both you get a discount on each package. Legs would be another package, bikini area another (and a price break if you do both), etc. I know the face ones are for 6 session, don't know how many sessions are for legs. Some people would be done in 6 sessions, some may need a few more (charged at the equivalent rate of a package but on an individual basis). Individual session are not available unless you have already purchased a package for that body area from them.

 

But that is just how the place she goes to works. I'm sure every place has their own policies.

This is what I would have expected, rather than a package's being X minutes, as I was told yesterday, so it is good to know that there are places out that there that price in a more rational manner. Thanks for the info.

I had it many years ago when money was a little more available. I don't remember how much it was, but I could do a package (ended up cheaper) or individual sessions. I did sessions. And they worked until they finished the area. I wasn't able to finish the required sessions because I got pregnant but it definitely helped. Even with my lighter hair there is a noticible lessening of hair.
