Keep in mind with facial and body hair removal that most techniques are temporary; if you like the results, you will need multiple treatments. Even with laser treatment, a semi- permanent method of hair removal, most people have to undergo at least two sessions for the desired results. Costs can vary from clinic to clinic, salon to salon and doctor to doctor. Facial and body hair removal is an elective procedure, so you will have to cover all costs for the method or methods you choose; your insurance company will not reimburse you.
Laser hair removal: From $275 per visit for hair removed in the lip area, to $1,500 per visit for both legs or a man's back.
