How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost in El Dorado Hills, CA

It is typically recommended that patients arrive at their laser hair removal appointment with the unwanted hair having been trimmed or shaved within the previous 24 hours to remove the hair that is present above the surface of the skin to prevent potential damage to the skin. Once the patient has gotten into a comfortable position and is wearing protective eyewear, the laser hair removal provider will use a handheld device that activates a beam of light energy onto the targeted area, allowing for the laser to target the hair follicles. The procedure itself will commonly cause minor discomfort when the light beam is activated, often feeling similar to a warm pinprick, but is incredibly quick, making any discomfort brief. Many laser hair removal providers will also offer for patients to have a numbing cream applied to the areas that will be treated before the procedure starts to minimize discomfort as much as possible. Smaller treatment areas such as the upper lip will only take a few minutes, whereas larger areas of the body such as the legs will likely take closer to an hour. Following the appointment, mild redness and swelling can be expected for several hours, and any discomfort can be sufficiently minimized through the application of a cold compress.

There is a bit of a cost range regarding individual laser hair removal sessions as the price is dependent on several factors including the location of the treatment provider, the level of expertise of the provider, and most importantly, the size of the area on which the treatment will be performed. Most patients can expect to spend anywhere from $250 to $1,000 on a single laser hair removal session, but once they have completed their required rounds of treatment, the results will be long-lasting and often even permanent, saving money that would otherwise be spent on waxing appointments or at-home hair removal treatments in the future.

Most patients will require anywhere from 2 to 6 laser hair removal treatments before they will be able to achieve more permanent results, with many patients noticing reduced growth after the first couple of treatments. The number of treatments required may also vary a bit from body part to the same individual. The area on which the patient is being treated can also have an effect on the frequency at which they will need to wait in between laser hair removal treatments as the different areas have varying rates of growth. Generally, areas with faster hair growth such as the face can receive treatments every 4 to 8 weeks, whereas areas with slower growth rates will likely require 12 to 16 weeks in between sessions.

The area of the body on which the laser hair removal is being performed will be the most significant contributing factor affecting the total cost of treatments. Smaller surface areas such as the underarms, upper lip, chin, and sideburns can cost anywhere from around $100 to $250, with the bikini area often costing closer to around $350, and the legs or back ending up costing around $600. If multiple areas are being treated with laser hair removal during one session, the total cost will be a bit higher to include the cost for each area of the body. These prices will include any numbing cream or cooling gel that may be applied to the skin at the discretion of the provider. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online.
