GIRLS: Does it cost a lot to get laser hair removal done?

[behindthemask]

In the long run waxing costs too much and I really just wanna get rid of any embarrassing hair for good without worrying about shaving or waxing again. I know it's expensive but I know it would be worth it

I haven't had it, but it is expensive and prices depend on where you live.

You need to be very, very careful about who you go to. Some salons haven't been trained or even have an accreditation for it which can cause some very negative results for you, things such as severe burns or damaging skin pigmentation cells (where you end up with patches of skin with different colours). If you end up with severe burns, you're more susceptible to developing skin cancer later on.

If you're going head with it, thoroughly do your research on the company.

Oh I didn't realise that:o thanks for the heads up!

[learningthegame16]

No worries :)

I've had it done and have never regretted it.

It used to be extremely costly because only dermatologists could administer laser treatment. Now there are certified beauty technicians who can do it and do a great job of it.

I got legs, arms, underarms, and upper lip done for $2000 for the entire treatment (6 sessions). Only have had to go back once to have a touch-up on upper lip.

Some places offer payment in installments. It's worth checking it out.

Omg that sounds great! And it never grew back at all?

My legs and underarms are completely smooth. Only a stray hair here or there.

Arms, the hair is a lot less and what is left is almost peach fuzz.

Upper lip, a stray hair, especially near the corners of the mouth.

I had it done on my face, I had alopecia and just decided to have it removed rather than shave every day since I would no longer have the option to grow a beard in. The whole face minus eyebrows of course ran $95

won't recommend it on bikini hair. some guys like it and the trend changes every year.

Bikini hair is embarrassing though, I would never wear a bikini without it waxed

[loda1994]

i am just saying some places on a woman can have hair. like the pubic area. you could wax that every time you wear a bikini or having sex.
other places like mustache or arms or legs are totally weird and embarrassing.

I've done it and yes it's pricey but I think it's a great investment. I've gone to places that specializes in lasering... Usually most skincare/spa place do them. All of them were nurses trained in lasering.
Each area of the body has different pricing.
From what I rememeber, my legs cost $140, armpits $30, bikini $30-40, arms $40 for each session. I went about 5/6 times.

Learningthegame16 gave you excellent advice. If you do decide to have it done, make sure you go to a reputable doctor/technician.

And it isn't a permanent solution--the hair will eventually grow back.

It's expensive but might be worth it. It depends on the area but your bikini area would cost about 400

omg. It costs so much I just can't. I mean, on a scale of one to even, I can't.

I think you are right, in the long run laser treatment is cheaper.
