Is laser hair removal expensive?
469452
Laser hair removal is not for everyone. The absolute requirement is that one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin. Additionally very darkly pigmented people absorb too much laser energy in their skin and are not ideal candidates. Tanned patients with light hair are not candidates. Tanned patients with dark hair should wait until their tan fades before they are treated. Lastly the treatment cost should be within reach of the patient. Laser hair removal, although much less expensive than electrolysis, requires multiple treatments, and generally costs over $1000 in total for most anatomic areas.\nTreatment cost varies with the size of the area treated. Experienced laser centers, which have developed expertise in laser hair removal, generally average about $500 per treatment session, with an average of four treatment sessions initially recommended. Large areas, such as the entire back, or the entire legs, cost considerably more than this. Small areas, such as the upper lip, can be less. Individual consultation with the laser center is necessary to obtain exact pricing.

Yep!  You can go get laser hair removal.  It actually kills the root though so the hair will never grow back.  Some people need up to five treatments, but it is so worth it!  Imagine never having to shave again!  \n\nOnly thing is before you do this make sure you are never going to want facial hair.  Even if you don't do so many treatments that all the roots die it will be really, really thin.  Too thin to grow anything you'd be proud of...lol.\n\nWell, here is a link to a really good laser clinic.  They are who I use and recommend.  Good luck!\n\nwww.advancedlaserclinics.com

Yes it does!! It worked wonders for me.  I had the procedure done 7 years ago when I was 21.  It does take between 3 to 6 procedures to see significant change in hair growth.  Thank God I only needed 3 sessions.  \nUsually the lighter your skin color is and the darker the hair the more success you will have and you wont have to take the 6 recommneded sessions. The reason for this is because the laser light goes after the dark hair easily. Also u need to get the treatment done every 6 to 8 weeks apart because of the hair growth pattern. Our body hair grows in different cycles in different parts and doing the procedure every 6 weeks guarantees that every section of follicles will be damaged. \nThe reason I had the procedure done which btw cost me $1200 each session for both my legs from my knee down was because I was as hairy as a guy and everytime i shaved or used Nair my skin will get extremely irritated. I cannot explain to you how much i hated summer because i was only able to shave once a week, the first day was ok to wear skirts and shorts but then by the end of the day i had to cover up for another 5 or 6 days until i was able to shave again.  Now, 7 years later i barely have any hair in my legs, yes i do get a stranded hair here and there but i can just shave it off easily or leave there for about a week or so becuase they are now very fine..   I also have to tell you that i had the procedure done in my underarms twice as well but i still have to shave, i have seen no difference there- perhaps because of the hair growth cycle and i only had 2 treatments.  I hope my answer helps you, I dont know the reasons why you want to get the hair laser removal procedure done but if you find the right Dr you will have great results.  Also, if you are like me and dont like to go through pain you should have the Doctor prescribe you a cream to numb the area to be treated.  My very first laser treatment only lasted a few minutes because i could not take the 'pain', it was a sensation as if a thousand rubber bands were hitting my skin, the doctor prescribed a cream that i applied 30 minutes before each procedure in his office.  I used to go 30 minutes before my scheduled appointment and i will undress, put on my cream, cover the legs with a plastic wrap and 30 minutes later i will unwrapp and procedure was done- lasted about 20 mintes.

Epilation (waxing) is the most effective method of hair removal. But if you can afford about $75-$125 for 4 to 6 sessions (about one session every month), laser hair removal may be the treatment option for you. It is an outpatient procedure, relatively painless and once you have completed the initial treatment, you only have to go back once a year.

You just need to look clean and put together. If it's kind of a high-end job, you may need to buy a nice set of professional looking clothes. Depending on where you live, that could cost $100-$300. (Keep in mind that there are children starving in Africa, so don't spend too much). \n\nIf you feel like your hair could be cleaned up a bit, then go ahead and get a haircut. It only costs me $13.00 for a haircut, but it can cost quite a bit if you want it styled/colored/etc.\n\nIn the end, it's not about how much your clothes cost, it's about wearing something that compliments your body and makes you look put together. Honestly, I wouldn't spend more than $100.

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods. \nWaxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.\nElectrolysis and laser hair removal are “permanent” hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged. \nA review of the various hair removal methods is available at http://tinyurl.com/ob6tt

yes.  it is quite safe and predictable.  the lasers used for cosmetic procedures are highly regulated and tested.  the lasers are set to intensities that penetrate to depths necessary only for the procedure at hand.  the laser is only as good as the person using it however. \n\ni have had 3 laser treatments on my face for permanent removal of facial hair.  i had issues with acne and the treatments have been very helpful.  the sessions were very tolerable.  typically a topical anesthetic cream is rubbed on and allowed to sit on the face for 30-60 minutes.  for more involved procedures, other types of anesthesia may be necessary.  good luck.  you'll do fine.

Even thought it's costly, you need to go to a dermatologist. If anyone will know how to get rid of them for good he (or she) will. If you try to do it yourself you run the risk of infection. Good luck!

you can look for laser hair removal in your area. After 5 procedures it's supposed to be permanent.

I had laser surgery on a raised blood vessel. It took a few minutes, cost $150, and healed quickly. I don't know about moles, but I would get an appointment and find out.

depending on where they are  - an effective treatment is with a laser.  Many dermatologists and plastic surgeons ofer this service as do many physicians in general.  The procedure, depending on the extent of the problem, normally requires more than one treatment.  Prices vary from place to place so call around to different places.  Small areas can be as little as $75 adn large complex areas can be alot.  Best of luck.

Go to the dermantoligist. They have machines that can just zap them away. This may sound perfect but there is a downside it hurts and its very expensive.

Most laser refractive surgery is recommended with people of 6.00 or less.  So, this makes you on the edge.  Lasik and other refractive surgeries or PRK or corneal rings are very safe. The best thing you can do if you are thinking about laser surgery is to really research the doctors in your area.  Stay away from the people who claim it's so easy they can do it over your lunch break.  There are some risks as with any surgery. Most practices have someone in charge of marketing and would be happy to either set you up with a free consultation with their corneal specialist or send you more information than you could ever dream of.\n\nAs far as cost, my practice charges just under $1,300 per eye. Pain is minimal and I have mostly heard it described as annoying achiness.  There will be eye drops for a while afterwards, make sure you are okay with that.\n\nAlso keep in mind that not everyone is a good candidate for surgery.  There are several tests required in determining whether you can have surgery. You have to have enough eye tissue, no dryness, etc.
