Laser hair removal national average pricing
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the national average cost for laser hair removal in 2003 is $429.
The cost of laser hair removal varies by geographic area (urban, suburban or rural areas), and practitioner. It can also be a large or substantial part of a practitioner’s business or might just be a service offered to dermatology or plastic surgery patients. This fee only covers the physician’s costs, and does not include other miscellaneous costs. Plus this fee is only for one treatment session and multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results. A comprehensive cost figure may be obtained while consulting with the physician. Make sure this figure includes any and all associated costs.
The big factor in the cost is the individual uniqueness. Are you a good candidate? How many treatments? How big an area will be treated? And how dense is the hair? These factors will influence the sale. The laser hair removal cost for larger areas, such as the legs or the back, is of course significantly higher than the laser hair removal cost for areas such as the lip or even the bikini line. The laser hair removal cost for patients with dark hair and lighter skin is usually lower than laser hair removal costs for other patients, because they require fewer treatments. (Generally speaking, laser hair removal costs will be per treatment, so individuals whose skin is lighter than their hair pay less.) Laser hair removal costs are more expensive in some parts of the country, due to increased demand; laser hair removal costs also depend upon the expertise and reputation of the clinic or physician.
