Would You Know How To Assess Laser Hair Removal Cost?

Laser hair removal prices vary according to the area of the body where the procedure is performed and aspects such as skin colour, which can require a few more treatments, that can make a difference to the overall laser hair removal cost.

What About The Cheaper Options?

There are simply no hair removal treatments that have absolutely no side affects or complications. But there are methods that have fewer complications and naturally there are varying prices.

Depilatory creams are inexpensive but their results are not always what you hoped for. They work by dissolving the hair. If not successful (as when the hair is very thick) the hair can simply ‘frizz’. Complications can include allergic reactions, redness and blistering. They can be quite effective on areas such as legs, however, results only last about one week.

Waxing usually lasts about 3 to 4 weeks. Aside from the painful procedure, side effects are removal of skin, ingrown hair, blistering and bruising, possibly for days after. Waxing should never be performed on those with diabetes, poor circulation or varicose veins and warts, moles, rashes and pimples should be avoided.

Shaving is quick and inexpensive but the results only last less than 24 hours, can cause irritation, cuts and rashes, with no hope of reducing overall hair growth and density.

Laser treatment (also referred to as laser surgery) has immediate benefits for permanent hair removal, however, it will take a number of treatments to achieve optimum results. The procedure is virtually pain-free. Complications include the possibility of darkened pigmentation, which will fade after a few weeks, and sun protection for a number of days.

It is important not just to go by cost. Laser hair removal is more expensive upfront than these options but by far the most effective and sometimes more cost effective in the long run.

But first, we need to qualify, as there are companies who are not accurately advertising laser hair removal. Sydney has a number, as do most major cities across Australia. These companies advertise laser hair removal by IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) whereas we do not use a light pulse machines, but genuine hair removal lasers. These ‘genuine’ lasers are even safe to use during pregnancy.

‘Genuine’ lasers are scientifically precise, completely accurate and safe – and that’s what you are paying for! When shopping around for a laser hair removal price, be careful when choosing a laser clinic. IPL is not a genuine laser and there is a lot involved in considering laser hair removal cost.

“I decided to go to Laser By Sia and just after 1 treatment I could see the difference between Laser and IPL. I have spent a fortune on IPL but at least I know now that I will get results using Laser By Sia’s state of the art lasers and their treatments are half the price.” Simone, Newtown
