How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

Laser hair removal has become increasingly popular in recent years, and the global laser hair removal market is expected to reach over $3.9 billion by 2026. Considering the time, money, and hassle it takes for traditional hair removal methods — i.e., shaving, waxing, depilatories, threading — laser hair removal can be an appealing option for both men and women alike. 

But how much does laser hair removal cost, and is it really worth it? We’re breaking down the details, pricing, and other important information you need to know if you’re considering a laser hair removal treatment. 

What is laser hair removal and how does it work?

Laser hair removal is the process of removing hair through pulses of highly concentrated light (aka low-energy lasers) that penetrate the hair follicles and is absorbed by the pigment of the hair. This process ultimately damages the hair follicles and inhibits the hair from growing back. Several treatments are often required to achieve optimal results, and the process can range from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of the area being lasered. 

Typically, an Alexandrite laser is used for laser hair removal. However, this type of laser poses some risk to darker skin tones, which is why OVME uses next-generation laser hair removal technology that allows all skin types (even darker tones!) to benefit from laser hair removal. 

Before your appointment, we ask that patients arrive with the treatment area shaved, not waxed. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for four weeks prior to treatment, and make sure that, on the day of your appointment, your skin is free of creams or make-up on the treatment area. Following your treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, or bumps. This is normal and can be treated with a cold compress. Treated areas should be kept out of direct sunlight.
