That place in DC seemed rather expensive. All I have to say is that I was getting a hell of a deal before the rate increase after my practitioner bought the Lightsheer laser. I even squeezed in a few Lightsheer treatments before the rate increase.

The initial cost for getting my chest, shoulders, back, and upper arms done was only $1400. That included two treatments for each area. Follow up treatments for each area were about 50% of the cost of the previous treatment. This year each treatment was about $55-60 for an hour long session. With the new rate increase the minimum treatment cost will be about $100.

It was good while it lasted. Fortunately, I do not anticipate needing many more treatments but I do want all the hair gone if possible. I may try electrolysis on my chest and it is only $60 per hour. I have tweezed a few stray hairs and noticed on some of them that that part of the hair below the surface of the skin is very light. Electrolysis may be the way to go in that case.

Prices vary widely by location, the type of practitioner (dr. vs. salon), as well as by reputation of the practitioner. Add to that variability in amount of hair per consumers and different rates of effectiveness, and you get a sense of how hard it is to predict a price.

As I’ve said, Unless you are an ideal candidate with light skin and dark hair, I would put practitioner skill far above price. It’s worth the extra money to reduce the chances of side effects and to increase the effectiveness rates. Even those with light skin and dark hair should focus on finding a practitioner recommended by someone who is done and happy.

Andrea, you mentioned www.hairfout.com
I’m now looking for a clinic in NYC.
Do you think that one seems to be a good one with a good laser ?

Teen, I do not endorse specific practices. The information from hairout.com was presented as an example and not an endorsement of their skills.

The fact that the hairout.co people are willing to put their prices up online makes them a bit more attractive if I were doing research, though. I hate these places that act like their prices are some big secret. Pretty shady if you ask me.
