Laser Hair Removal pricing: Want to know the truth?
The way that many clinics and salons communicate their laser hair removal pricing is a little odd. As soon as you start looking at your options, you’ll be swamped with offers promising 50% off or something similar. As you might expect, this is only a sales technique that depends on you signing a contract or prepaying for your full course of treatment. Their regular single treatment rate will have been heavily inflated to make it seem like a discount.
Another technique some clinics use is to reduce the number of appointments included in your course. A course of eight appointments is agreed by all to be needed to get the long-term results you want in return for your investment in treatment. Some clinics, though, sell courses of six appointments, knowing that their patients will end up booking extra sessions at full price after those in order to complete their treatment.
With these tactics in mind, we spent some time researching the true prices of laser hair removal in our area.
We picked three of the most popular laser hair removal treatment areas, that all clinics offer.

Full Legs
This example, from a national clinic chain on 30/09/19, really shocked us.
For full legs laser hair removal, the single treatment rate is £320. You will get offered 50% discount if you buy a course of 8 treatments and pay up front, at a cost of £1280, which equates to a price of £160 per treatment session.
What is the best single treatment price for full legs offered by a CQC registered clinic in the Leeds area? The answer is £99.00.
We make that £61 per treatment session that you are overpaying by. Over eight sessions, that equates to a staggering £488 of your hard-earned money that you are overpaying!
