How Does the Cost of Diode Laser Hair Removal Compare to Other Hair Removal Methods?

Have you ever really thought of the true cost of your hair removal regime? Often, people come to us focused on the cost of our treatments, and although we always offer great value, some people mention that they can’t afford treatments. Diode laser hair removal treatments pay for themselves in no time – saving you money (not to mention time!) in the long run.

Waxing:

Are you a waxer? How often do you wax? How much is each treatment? 

Most waxers have appointments once a month. At an average cost of $35 for a bikini/Brazzie, that’s $420 a year, which is $4,200 over 10 years!

Not to mention the embarrassment of letting hair grow in between treatments and the ingrown hairs that most people get (yes, diode laser hair removal fixes that too!).

Shaving:

You may think a razor doesn’t cost much, but how many razors do you use in a year? Using a decent razor and shaving every few days will cost you about $100 a year. Over 10 years that’s $1000.

And how much extra time, effort and money do you spend in the shower (plus water costs) and dealing with cuts and shaving rashes?

IPL:

Many salons/clinics still sell IPL as a form of permanent hair reduction. Whilst great for treatments such as facial rejuvenation, it is less effective for hair removal. Comparing prices between IPL and diode laser cannot be done just by comparing the costs per session as you will need far more treatments with IPL (usually around double), plus a lot of ongoing maintenance, which is not so much required with diode laser.

So, whilst the initial cost of diode laser hair removal might seem higher than other hair removal treatments, it more than pays for itself considering the long term benefits of being hair free!
