Laser hair removal has become a staple of today's beauty industry, but until recently it has been one of the most expensive beauty treatments. Costs reaching into the thousands per session have left many people unable to make use of this option for permanent hair removal. But laser hair removal prices have started to decline, opening this avenue for lower income women and men.
Step 1
Compare prices of salons and practitioners in your local area. It is not required for someone to be a licensed physician when performing laser hair removal, and you may find that a licensed cosmetologist or skin therapist will offer the best prices.
Step 2
Buy a do-it-yourself laser hair removal system. Laser hair removal has been approved by the FDA for at-home use at a fraction of the cost of in-office treatments. SilkN and Tria are the two most trusted systems, delivering excellent results when used according to directions.
Step 3
Consider alternatives to laser hair removal. A close relative of laser hair removal is a procedure called intense pulsed light or IPL. This treatment vaporizes the hairs and deadens the hair follicles just like laser hair removal only the light emitted is a xenon flash and not a laser. It is cheaper and just as effective.
Step 4
Take advantage of free offers for trying laser hair removal through salons. Make sure the salon is reputable and practices all safety precautions. Don't be afraid to ask for licensing and credentials to ensure that all staff performing laser treatments have been properly trained.
