Cost and Financing of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a procedure where a laser is used to kill the root of the hair follicle, which stops the hair from growing back. This does take more than one session to be effective, but the results are smooth, hair-free skin for life.

Cost of Laser Hair Removal

The cost of laser hair removal is session based. Each session could cost anywhere between $150-$500, depending on the size of the area and the part of the body being treated. Larger parts of the body cost more, while smaller parts of the body cost less. The underarms are the least expensive, with an average cost of $300, while legs and backs have an average price of $700 per session. The number of sessions you need can easily make the price much higher, creating a need for financing.

Laser Hair Removal Financing

Insurance companies do not cover laser hair removal because of its classification as an elective procedure. Financing for laser hair removal can come from a number of different resources. If you are able to obtain a loan on your own, you can do this. If you need a loan obtained through your doctor or the laser hair removal facility, those options are generally available.

Most health care facilities have an in-house financial plan you can apply for. The requirements are much the same as general financing options and include a decent credit history and proof of adequate income to make the payments. Interest rates are variable, but consult with the billing department of your health care provider to find out what the typical interest rate may be.

Laser hair removal is a popular and safe procedure you can use to permanently remove body hair, relieving the need for shaving, waxing or embarassing situations.
