How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost? | 2026 Pricing Guide

How Much Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal at LaserAway ranges from $99 to $649 per session, depending on the treatment area. Smaller zones like the upper lip or underarms cost less, while larger areas require more time and laser energy.

Average Cost of Laser Hair Removal

Several respected medical and financial sources report national averages for professional, medical-grade laser hair removal. Although each uses different methods to calculate costs, they all show similar price ranges across the industry:

  • American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) lists the average cost of laser-based procedures at $697 per session.
  • RealSelf reports that patients paid an average of $1,043 per session in 2023, based on verified reviews and submitted treatment costs.
  • CareCredit estimates that laser hair removal typically ranges from $207 to $913 per session, depending on the body area treated.

These averages include both small and large treatment areas and represent the national cost of professional, medical-grade laser hair removal in clinical settings.

Average Cost by Treatment Area

Treatment Area Typical Price Range (National Average)
Chin $45 to $400
Underarms $89 to $415
Bikini or Brazilian $65 to $1,264
Legs $65 to $1,264
Back or Chest $285 to $1,100

Why Laser Hair Removal Prices Vary

Laser hair removal is a customized medical procedure, and cost can differ based on several key factors:

  • Treatment area size: Smaller areas such as the upper lip or chin cost less than large areas like legs, chest, or back.
  • Number of sessions: Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to achieve lasting reduction.
  • Laser technology: LaserAway uses the Cynosure Apogee Elite dual-wavelength laser, designed to safely and effectively treat all skin types.
  • Packages and bundles: Purchasing 3-, 8-, or 10-treatment packages or combining multiple areas can provide additional savings and better long-term results.

“Pricing varies by area and package, but the real value is that laser hair removal costs less over time than shaving or waxing.”

Dr. Will Kirby, Board-Certified Dermatologist and Chief Medical Officer of LaserAway

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients need a series of treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, depending on hair type, growth cycles, and the area being treated.

Dr. Kirby adds that some patients may need an occasional maintenance treatment, while others may never need one. Your treatment specialist will recommend a plan tailored to your skin and hair during your consultation.

Is laser hair removal covered by insurance?

Laser hair removal is considered a cosmetic treatment, so it’s typically not covered by insurance.

Can I finance my treatments?

Absolutely. LaserAway offers flexible financing options, so you can get started right away and pay over time.

Is laser hair removal worth it?

For most patients, yes. Laser hair removal provides a permanent reduction of up to 80% of unwanted hair, smoother skin, and freedom from shaving and waxing.

With the appropriate number of sessions spaced properly, many patients go from shaving every other day to shaving every other month.
