Hair Removal Cost

Hair removal, for cleanliness, aesthetic and sexual purposes, is practiced by men and woman in cultures all over the world. The most common form of hair removal is shaving. Shaving is the most common form of hair removal for men and women. Chemical depilatories are also very often used but these products usually contain strong chemicals. It is often witness that hair growth is far thicker than it originally was after using such liquids and creams. Waxing is the most common hair removal method at salons. It entails the application of hot wax on the skin and is removed once it has dried over the skin. Home waxing kits are also available at retail stores. Electrolysis – the permanent hair removal solution – is also practiced quite widely due to the increased benefits it offers.

The hair removal cost for each of the above options varies and also depend on the number of times you need to engage in this activity per year. Waxing, shaving and sugaring may appear to be cheap methods of hair removal but, unlike electrolysis or laser treatments, these need to be performed quite frequently (sometimes weekly or monthly) thereby adding to the cost over time. Electrolysis and laser hair removal treatments are of course the most expensive amongst all of the hair removal methods. However, these methods do not require you to frequently visit your practitioner. The average number of visits for an electrolysis treatment is roughly 15 to 20 times per year whereas laser treatments require that you visit about 6 to 8 times a year. Hair removal cost on both these methods will hence vary on the number of visits you need to make plus the geographic location you are at and of course, the practitioner you choose. The electrolysis and laser hair removal cost are usually high when treatments are purchased through a dermatologist’s or a plastic surgeon’s office. You will notice that clinics that specialize in laser treatments or electrolysis charge lower prices. Hair removal cost also depend on uniqueness of your treatment. Factors such as how many treatments you would require, the area of treatment, the size of the area that needs to be treated and the density of the hair on the skin play a huge role when practitioners determine their hair removal cost.

So, from this day forward, analyze your hair removal cost, not on a weekly or monthly basis but, on a year or decade basis.
