Hair is, without a doubt, a blessing and a curse. Hair makes “perfect hair days” possible and provides eyes with “long, elegant lashes”. However, hair is also responsible for the unavoidable routines of shaving, waxing, and tweezing. I am sure that millions of women (and men) around the world have said to themselves “Why can’t these stubborn hairs just be removed permanently?” Well, with an amazing procedure called laser hair removal, the body can be rid forever of any unwanted hair.

In this article, I will introduce laser hair removal. Further, I will discuss different costs of this procedure. Finally, I will provide a directory of several “hot spots” around the United States that provide the people with laser hair removal services.

Laser hair removal uses laser light (an intense, pulsating beam of light) to remove unwanted hair. The laser passes through the skin’s surface and into the hair follicle. The intense heat caused by the laser damages the hair follicle and therefore prevents the growth of hair. Almost everyone will receive results from laser hair removal, but the most successful candidates are usually people with dark hair and light skin. People with darker skin have a higher change to develop blistering and discoloration after treatment. Tanning is also discouraged for 4-6 weeks before treatment. The patients are also told to avoid waxing and tweezing for 2-3 weeks before treatment, then to shave the hair 2-3 days before treatment. The reasoning behind this is that the procedure works best on short, stubbly hairs.

Laser hair removal costs can vary according to the number of treatments the patient chooses to receive. In most cases, it takes 2-3 treatments for the hair to disappear completely. The price also changes according to what area of the body the procedure is being performed on. Prices also fluctuate depending on what part of the country the patient is having the procedure performed. The following is a list of laser hair removal prices (on average) according to what part of the country the patient is in:

• Midwest: $450 per treatment
• East: $425 per treatment
• South: $400 per treatment
• West: $420 per treatment

Further, the following is a list of prices (on average) according to the part of the body that the patient chooses:

• Bikini: $450 per treatment
• Back hair: $750 per treatment
• Lower legs: $700 per treatment
• Upper legs: $700 per treatment
• Arms: $425 per treatment
• Chest: $500 per treatment
• Under arms: $300 per treatment
• Face and neck: $800 per treatment
