If anyone he has done extensive laser hair removal (I’m talking full body), how much did your treatments cost and was it worth it? I’ve always considered it but now that I’m in my mid-20s and 1. just don’t care about body hair as much as I used to and 2. am no longer showing as much skin as I did when I was younger and did sports that required it, I’m wondering if it’s worth spending all that money.

For me it’s been really worth it. Barely have to shave/wax my body. I don’t show much skin either but there are times when I need to for like an event, etc,. I do need touchups still but even without that it’s a huge workload of hair removal lifted off. I highly recommend it and glad I invested in it early on!!

like

Certain areas are super beneficial for me even now and I continue touch ups. Armpits, upper lip, lower legs, Brazilian are the ones I love having done and don’t regret it at all.

You should get a better deal if you combine them. I did mine over a period of perhaps 5 years with a couple of different providers. One of them went bankrupt half way into my treatments. 🤦‍♀️

Look for Groupon offers. You might have to piece it all together and have to go to a few salons, but laser away price is too high. They are a chain brand name so naturally will overprice

like

Would actually recommend against this. I live east coast ish and did mine with Ideal Image. You get unlimited treatments for 16 months with a package price and then touch ups are 90% off. Groupon results were sketchy for me.

Im getting mine done - armpits, lower leg, and brazillian. I’m surprised at these prices as mine all in was about 1.5k total. For getting rid of my ingrown alone it’s already more than worth it. I also love that I don’t really have to shave anymore (still have a few treatments to go!)

like

I did waist down a few years ago. It was worth it for a couple of years but I neglected to go in for “touchups” which apparently you’re supposed to. So in the end I didn’t think it was, and probably wouldn’t still even if I got the touchups

like

I purchased my package when LaserAway was having a special. It was a few thousand (2 or 3) for 8 treatments and I’ve done touch up packages when needed since then. Not to sound dramatic but it’s saved me so much time. I also have thick hair that grows fast so I’d have to shave my legs pretty much every day in the summer. I also think it hurts a lot less than waxing especially if you go for a Brazilian.

like

Was it that price just for legs!?

I’m pushing 40 and i did it for the first time in my mid thirties and wish I had done it sooner. I was pretty much getting from the waist down done and did maybe like 8 sessions every 10-12 weeks at first. I was going once a year for touch ups pre Covid, but I’m trying to get in before a holiday trip. Even though I haven’t been great with touch ups my hair is much lighter and thinner. I have very pale skin and thick dark hair, so I feel for me it was very worth it. The place I go is a med spa in SF and is about 300ish for full leg and extended bikini.

like

That’s pretty good! Can you DM me the name of the med spa?

I am currently doing my last session of Brazilian and I’ve done my under arms upper lip lower leg basically everything else and I don’t regret it. It makes showering so much quicker.

like

I got mine through a place my friend recommended that she found through Groupon. Her rates were super reasonable - I paid roughly $2000 for underarms, legs, Brazilian, and a few spots on my stomach. That includes touch ups - there initial packages of 6 was like $1500. I was nervous with the prices being low but she had great reviews and did a fantastic job. I assume her rates were low because she had little overhead (worked out of her husband's chiropractic office).

like

I mean it was done years ago so not much I N can do now. I didn't do it through Groupon and share your skepticism - my friend did. But she highly recommended it after having previously gone to pricier places and this woman's reviews were awesome. People start Groupons when they've are new to a location, as a marketing strategy, etc. It doesn't mean they are inexperienced and bad. My lady still has a 5 star average on Yelp so must be doing something right!

like

I did waist down at Satori. Really satisfied!

like

Packages are a great idea but why don’t you try one area to start and see how you like it? I got a deal on just the upper lip and after 5 sessions I am really pleased and started on to the armpits. I personally don’t want to be zapped all over in one session but I know it might be convenient for others. This would require the least $, you can hit the area you’d most like to see gone and you’d have a test run to see if it works for you.

like

I actually have! I did my lower legs years ago and it was really beneficial at the time because I had to wear shorts every day. Full-body laser was something teenage me always said I would get once I could afford it but my lifestyle and views on body hair have changed since then. After reading all these comments though I think I’m going to go ahead and do it! Cutting my shower time down will be worth it on its own!

I got a great deal through Groupon for unlimited full body for a year for about $3k (not including tips). Totally worth it and best money I’ve ever spent.
