Laser hair removal is quickly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic procedures due to its convenience, effectiveness and value for money.
The hair removal procedure involves directing a high focused laser onto the hairs in the area you wish to treat. This kills the hair root and prevents the hair from growing back. It usually takes a few treatments for the hair to be killed entirely but once the process is complete, the hair removal is permanent and there is no more need to continue with methods such as shaving and waxing.
The costs of laser hair removal can vary widely from clinic to clinic. Some clinics charge on a time basis and will have a fixed price for each half hour session, for example. Others have set packages for body parts and will have a set price for back hair removal and another for chest hair removal. This packages usually include five or six separate treatments as it is necessary to have multiple treatments on each area to ensure an effective result.
You should ideally have a consultation with a few clinics to determine how effective the treatment is likely to be for you (laser hair treatment works best on people with pale skin and dark hair) and obtain a quote. Depending on your individual requirements, the prices may be cheaper on a time based or body part based pricing structure.
Some clinics also specialize in certain areas, for example facial hair removal or male laser hair removal. By choosing a specialist clinic you can be surer of achieving great results with skilled technicians. Try to choose a clinic that is recommended by word of mouth, rather than one offering discount prices. Procedures carried out by unqualified or inexperienced technicians can be painful, ineffective and even cause scarring so it is not worth the price saving.
