Prices and factors affecting the cost of laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is the most popular and effective method of removing unwanted hair. This problem affects both men and women, because dealing with excess hair with a razor or shugaring is not only burdensome, but also painful. Laser removal of unwanted hair allows you to forget about this problem forever. However, the main question that worries everyone is: what am I paying for? Not so long ago, the ability to remove unwanted hair with innovative methods was a luxury for many people, but now it has become affordable, especially if you consider how much money you spend on the same hair removal for several years. The price of the procedure will become even more affordable when you appreciate all the benefits of laser hair removal.
How much does the laser hair removal procedure cost?
On the one hand, the procedure itself may seem like an expensive idea. For example, laser bikini hair removal costs about PLN 120 per session, while waxing costs an average of PLN 60. The difference is obvious. But on the other hand, it's worth thinking about how many times you will need to do waxing over the course of several years? How much will it cost in the end? And how much time will you have to spend on visits? Therefore, the cost of laser hair removal is quite acceptable.
The price for this service may vary in different clinics in the city. It all depends on the laser device used, the professionalism of the specialists, and whether the salon has a license and accreditation. In order to choose the most suitable facility for you, it is advisable to arrange a consultation with several specialists.
Factors affecting the cost of the procedure
What determines the price of laser hair removal? Below are the main factors that affect the cost of the procedure:
- The cost of the laser equipment used. By analogy with cars: the more expensive, the more comfortable and efficient.
- Experience and education of the specialist. A cosmetologist performing laser hair removal must have a higher medical education, and the clinic must be licensed by the Ministry of Health. The more professional experience a specialist has, the higher the cost of their services.
- Hair type and number of treatments. Patients with thicker and denser hair require more treatments. The size of the area to be epilated also affects the cost of the procedure. Patients with dark hair will need fewer visits: it is easier for them to get rid of hair than patients with light hair. It is also worth remembering that only 25-40% of the hair that was in the active phase of growth can be removed in one procedure, so you will need to repeat the procedure to remove the rest.
- Treatment area. The cost is affected not only by the volume but also by the location of the problem areas. The larger the area of hair removal, the higher the cost of the procedure. Hair removal of the thighs, back, and legs is the most expensive.
The term “expensive” is a relative term. Other methods of hair removal seem to be more cost-effective at first glance. But if you consider that the laser helps to get rid of unwanted hair permanently and eliminates folliculitis, the advantages are obvious. Saving time is also an important factor.
There are several recognized, effective and proven laser manufacturers on the market. The largest of them are Lumenis and Candela. The former produce diode lasers, and the latter are leaders in the production of alexandrite lasers. The cheapest laser hair removal procedures are performed on devices without consumables (special contact and cooling gels, replaceable nozzles, cooling gas cylinders). It is logical that they increase the cost of the service.
Financing options and package offers
Very often, laser hair removal clinics offer discounts and favorable promotional offers. For example, for new clients or when paying for the entire hair removal course at one time. Therefore, in order not to miss the chance to save money and choose the best clinic with innovative equipment, it is advisable to make an appointment with a specialist who will select the best and cheapest option for you.
