The cost of laser hair removal

Laser hair removal cost will change depending on the area of the body ie.how big an area, density of hair, type of skin, number of treatments, type of practice, who delivers the service, laser type, laser speed and the price point in the laser hair removal market.

In the UK and Ireland the price has come down considerably due to the reduced cost of reputable lasers and stiff competition between laser and IPL clinics as laser hair removal has become widely recognised as the treatment of choice for those looking for permanent hair removal.

At WhichLaserClinic.com we take care not to list cowboy clinics who may use non CE marked lasers used by untrained staff and poor facilities. Prices are very cheap but if they get sued for burns, scarring etc.. they usually just close down and setup in another area, so beware!

Have a look at the reputable clinics in your local area by using our search facilities. From the listings you will be able to assess what each clinic has to offer in terms of quality of care, staff, equipment and cost, it's a competitive market so take your time and contact them.

The cost of laser hair removal compared to waxing

During these credit crunch times, spending £945 on a beauty treatment may seem hard to justify. However, at Cynosure we’ve done the maths for you – by committing to laser hair removal you could be saving yourself at least £2900.

Looking at an average woman who has her legs waxed every 6 weeks for say 30 years means she will visit her salon some 260 times.  Using a conservative figure of £15 for a half-leg treatment, she will end up spending a whopping £3900 – and that’s not allowing for inflation! However, with Cynosure’s Elite hair removal treatment, a six weeks course requires a one-off cost of £945. What’s more, she will also save time, travel, parking and hassle every six weeks going for treatment.
