Laser hair removal is a popular procedure patients who are ready to address unwanted hair on the face and body but they often think the cost of laser hair removal is costly. First, what is laser hair removal? Laser hair removal is a treatment used to damage the hair follicles in the specific treatment area and keep them from reproducing hair for smooth, hairless skin. The results are permanent when patients have several treatments done during the various cycles of hair growth. This is the only way to ensure full, permanent reduction.
What is the Cost of Laser Hair Removal?
One of the most common questions from paitents is “what is the cost of laser hair removal?” Many patients are curious as to what a procedure such as this could cost and whether or not it is in their budget. Dr. Matthew Doppelt is often unable to provide a specific price for treatment, as there are several factors to take into consideration. First, the size of the treatment area will affect the price per treatment. Second, the response to treatment will determine how many sessions are necessary. Patients must also understand the growth cycle of hair and how it affects the number of treatments necessary. The laser treatment can only treat hair in the active growth phase, not the resting phase. This means that treatments should be booked approximately six weeks apart, and many treatments be done in order to target all the hair follicles while in the active growth phase. Each time treatment is done, more hair will fall out, but for full results, regular treatments may need to be performed until all hair is removed.
