How to Reconcile the Cost of Laser Hair Removal
You have probably thought long and hard about laser hair removal and decided you want it anyway no matter what the cost. But if you have a partner who is not so convinced about the benefits perhaps a little financial reality will help them see reason.
You see, the cost of laser hair removal is a one-off charge where you pay for a course of treatment. You might need the odd top up but that is not going to set you back as much. Other forms of hair removal cost once and then again and again. In fact they cost money your whole life through as long as you are young enough to care about unwanted hair.
Let's take the cost of having laser hair removal on your legs as an example. Of course, laser treatment on a large area like your legs is quite expensive and will probably set up back around one thousand to two thousand dollars before you are finished with a series of treatments. But after that you will likely be happy enough with your legs not to need any further treatment.
To compare that to a lifetime of other treatments, think about how much each treatment costs and how often you need to repeat it. For example, you might have a professional waxing treatment every four or five weeks. That means you will have 12 to 13 treatments a year at whatever it costs. If you are young you will have perhaps 40 or 50 years of treatment ahead of you to pay for. Doesn't laser hair removal seem cheaper now?
Even if you use a depilatory cream or shave you will need a tube of cream or disposable razor every few days or every week. The cost might not add up quite so quickly but it does add up over a lifetime.
So do your sums and then take the plunge and save yourself some money!
