When someone asks the question, “How much does full-body laser hair removal cost?” the answer will always be, “It depends.” No two people have the same body or the same goals for hair removal. The amount of body hair, its location on the body, and the number of treatments an individual needs for smooth, hairless skin will vary from person to person.
Professionals with decades of experience can give their best guess of what the full-body laser hair removal costs will be, but even that will be only an estimate. Your costs could be slightly higher or lower, depending on how your body responds to the treatment.
Here are the basic facts you should know when planning for full-body laser hair removal.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
The first thing to remember when planning for laser hair removal is that you’ll need multiple treatments on each area where you wish to remove body hair. This is because the treatment works only on hair follicles where there is a visible hair strand.
Laser hair removal works by heating the pigment in each strand of hair. The heat destroys the follicle so it can’t produce new hair. Follicles in the resting stage don’t have visible hair, so they’re unaffected. Consecutive treatments catch the newly active follicles that were resting during previous treatments.
Typically, clients need five or six treatments to get the results they want. After the initial set of treatments, you can expect the results to last for a year or more. If you do start to see hair regrowth, the hair will probably be finer and lighter. You can then come back for touch-up treatments to take care of any regrowth.
Full-Body Laser Hair Removal Prices
The cost of full-body laser hair removal is calculated for each treatment on each area of the body.
For most people with typical female-pattern body hair, that means six treatments each on the arms, legs, underarms, and bikini area.
People with typical male-pattern body hair should also plan on scheduling five to six treatments for the arms, legs, and underarms. A Brazilian may not be part of that treatment plan, but you may need to include the chest, belly, back, and neck. Laser hair removal is also effective for unwanted hair on the face.
At Laser by Monica, the prices vary depending on the treatment area. Here’s a look at what to expect:
| Treatment | Price per Session |
| Half arm | $150 |
| Full arm | $175 |
| Underarm | $75 |
| Bikini | $125 |
| Brazilian | $150 |
| Half leg | $200 |
| Back and shoulders | $300 |
| Chest and abs | $300 |
| Front of neck | $125 |
| Chin and lip | $125 |
| Chin only | $75 |
| Full face | $200 |
| Ear hair | $80 |
For a woman, paying for six treatments apiece for the arms, legs, and underarms, plus getting a Brazilian, will cost about $3,600. For a man, the cost of six treatments each for the legs, arms, underarms, full face, chest and abs, shoulders and back, and front of the neck could cost about $8,250.
Package Deals
The good news is that most laser hair removal specialists will bundle their treatments to help make full-body laser hair removal more affordable. At Laser by Monica, we offer packages for all treatment areas. You can purchase six treatments for the price of five, which is a great deal for either one treatment area or the full-body hair removal process.
Customized Laser Hair Removal Plans
When you come to Laser by Monica, we’ll help you plan your full-body laser hair removal to make it as effective and affordable as possible. We understand that this is a major investment, and we want to make sure you get the results you want without overpaying for any services.
One way to manage the costs is to space out your treatments over time. Consider which areas are your top priority and purchase treatment packages for those first. Once you’ve completed those treatments, you can purchase a package for the next area on the list. That allows you to pay in smaller amounts rather than maxing out your credit card all at once.
We can work with you to adjust your treatment plan as we observe the results you get after each session. If you need only four treatments for your silky-smooth calves, for example, we can put your remaining treatments toward another area of your body or bank them for touch-ups in the future. We don’t want you to undergo treatments you don’t need.
Best Value for Your Money
We understand that full-body laser hair removal can give people a serious case of sticker shock, but we firmly believe that the costs are worth it for the results you’ll have after your treatment.
Laser hair removal is the best option for lasting results. Shaving, plucking, and depilatory creams require repeated effort to remove unwanted hair, and you can end up with ingrown hairs, razor burns, cuts, and skin irritation. Waxing lasts longer, but it hurts more, and professional waxing costs add up, too, especially if you’re regularly getting large areas waxed.
Laser hair removal is fast, effective, and causes minimal discomfort. The hair removal isn’t permanent, but most people can count on months or years of perfectly smooth skin. When your hair does grow back, it’s usually much thinner and less noticeable.
