COST OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT IN THE UK

 

Laser hair removal cost

Laser hair removal costs in the UK vary depending on where you want to go, specifically if you want your hair zapped off and from town to city.

How much laser hair removal costs will depend on skin tone, hair type (such as dark or light hair, and whether that hair is fine or coarse).

Originally, only those with fair skin and dark, coarse hair were ideal candidates for laser hair removal because the laser can easily identify the hair, unlike the skin tones and skin types – but now, with the state-of-the-art technology (like what we use here at CALVEO, scroll to learn more), practically anyone can be a candidate!

Laser hair removal targets the melanin in hair follicles, destroying the hair cells around the hair bulb’s root to prevent regrowth. Some patients see permanent results with permanent hair removal, while others may require periodic treatment. Although laser hair removal may seem expensive, it’s a long-term solution compared to shaving or waxing multiple times a week or month.

Isn’t it?

SO.

Let’s look at the costs across the UK, and then we’ll explain our prices and what’s involved in more detail.

 

HOW MUCH IS THE COST OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL IN THE UK?

According to the NHS, single treatments for laser hair removal may cost around £85 for the upper lip, £110 for under the arms, £130 for the bikini line, and £270 for the arms. Prices vary depending on the clinic, and we found that in major UK cities, prices can range drastically.

 

We did our research, and in the top 10 major cities (Belfast, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, and London) around the country, we Googled various laser hair removal clinics and found these laser hair removal prices:

Prices vary from clinic to clinic. Some clinics we looked at are franchises on most high streets in every major city. Some clinics are more beauty salons that offer a full range of treatments, from nails to tattoo removal. Others are smaller private specialist clinics like ours.

 

 

 

THE AVERAGE COST OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL IN THE UK WAS:

 

UPPER LIP£54
UNDERARMS x2£114
BIKINI LINE£86
ARMS x2£203

It is a competitive market in major UK cities. Therefore, prices can range drastically.

One overlooked aspect is the various costs of the treatments, offers or packages.

If you factor in your travel time and car parking charges, which could easily add £60+ to your treatment cost, let alone without factoring in your fuel or public transport costs—something to bear in mind.

 

THE MOST EXPENSIVE LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT AREA IN THE UK WAS:

According to our research, Liverpool is the most expensive area in the UK for laser hair removal. The second was Bristol, and the third was London. Belfast is the cheapest area in the UK for laser hair removal.

You will also discover places where market prices are crazy LOW for laser hair removal treatments. This means it’s not. DO NOT get your laser hair removal treatment done here.

The cost of laser hair removal should be within reason. A meagre and too-good-to-be-true looking price could mean the clinic is not following proper, safe medical practices like:

 

  • The clinic’s laser equipment comes from a knock-off brand and is not up to FDA standards (one of the strictest medical equipment standards to abide by).
  • Staff are not regularly trained.
  • The clinic is not currently on epi-pens (these expire every six months) or other life support/training.
  • The clinic does not change the sterile dressing packs for each patient but re-uses them.
  • The clinic purchases baby wipes or something equivalent and no medical-grade germ-killing wipes.

Laser hair removal prices directly reflect how a clinic performs its job and treats your skin and hair.

The improper procedure can cause harmful health and cosmetic side effects, such as:

 

  • Blisters
  • Burns
  • Scars
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Extreme sensitivity to sun exposure

A quality clinic like CALVEO will help mitigate any risks. Remember ALWAYS to find out about their experience and if they offer and perform patch tests.

 

IF YOU SHAVED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND NEVER DID LASER…

 

Shaving legs

You would end up spending WAY more!!!

Can you believe that?

It’s true!

According to lookyoungatlanta.com, you will spend £4,380.95 on cheap, disposable razors in a lifetime.

Remember that this does not count the time spent, water used, etc.

What a hassle!

Also, not to mention other hair removal methods, such as creams for your upper lip and legs or waxing if you choose to interchange hair removal tactics.

Laser hair removal works long-term, so you save big on time AND money when you look at the grand scheme of things.

 

CONCLUSION
