Cost Of Laser Hair Removal In UK

laser-3Factors affecting the cost of laser hair removal in UK

  • Size of Area: The cost is in direct proportion to the size of the area needing hair removal. For examples, you’ll need to spend a lot more in case of hair removal from legs, compared to your lip or chin.
  • Density: Thickness or density of hair is another factor for cost consideration. The thicker the hair, the more is the cost. You can understand that removing hair from men’s back is far more difficult than from the upper lip of females.
  • Treatments: Certain areas require more treatments than others. Because of the complexity of the problem, you are often recommended to go for more than one session to ensure efficient removal of hair.
  • Skin Color: It may sound unusual but it is realized that people having darker skin need to pay more, as they frequently require additional sessions, keeping in mind that the best results are obtained when you have lighter skin with dark hair.
  • Location of clinic: The area where the clinic is situated can also influence the price significantly.
  • Reputation: Reputation of the clinic and the doctor supervising the process can also affect the price of the treatment.

What Is Included In Cost

A consultation would normally be included before the start of treatment. The professional would inform you of the options you have and what would deliver the best results in your case.
Before starting the procedure hair on top of the skin is trimmed to some extent.

After this is done, the laser automatically adjusts to the color, thickness, and tone of skin.

During the course of the application of the laser, each pulse will leave a mark of the size of a dime to quarter in the area from which hair is removed.

Depending on the amount of hair to be removed from the area, each session could last from just a few minutes to one hour.
