How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost? (2026 Guide)

Stefanie Drozd

Laser hair removal at Express Med Spa starts at $50 per session for a small area like the upper lip or chin, and goes up to $399 for a full-body session covering multiple areas. The price you’ll actually pay depends on which area you’re treating and how many sessions you need, so here’s the full breakdown, including how to estimate your total and whether it’s worth the investment.

Laser Hair Removal Cost by Area

The larger the treatment area, the longer it takes and the more it costs per session. Here’s our current per-session pricing:

Treatment areaPrice per session
Upper lip, chin, sideburn, ear$50
Underarm, bikini, half leg, half arm, chest, stomach, neck, scalp$75
Brazilian, full leg, full arm, back, full face$100
Full body (up to 6 areas)$399

A full-body session is the best value if you want several areas treated, since it bundles up to six areas into one price.

Why Laser Hair Removal Prices Vary

Three things drive the cost:

  1. Area size. An upper lip takes seconds and costs $50; full legs or a back take much longer and cost more.
  2. Number of sessions. Most areas need a series, so your total is the per-session price multiplied by the number of sessions.
  3. Single sessions vs. packages. Buying a package brings the per-session cost down compared to paying one visit at a time.

Your skin tone and hair type can also influence how many sessions you’ll ultimately need, which affects the total.

How Many Sessions Will You Need? (And the Total Cost)

Plan on a series of 6-8 sessions for most areas (some hair types or larger areas may need up to 10-12), spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Because the laser only treats follicles that are in their active growth phase, repeated sessions are what produce lasting results.

To estimate your total, multiply the per-session price for your area by the number of sessions. For example, an underarm treatment at $75 per session across 6-8 sessions runs roughly $450 to $600 for the full series. That math is exactly why most clients choose a package rather than paying per visit.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent, and Worth the Cost?

Laser delivers permanent hair reduction (the FDA-recognized term): a 70-90% long-term reduction, not 100% permanent removal, with light maintenance once or twice a year. On the question of value, a lifetime of razors, shaving cream, wax appointments, and ingrown-hair fixes adds up to far more than a one-time laser series over the years. That’s why many clients consider laser the more economical choice in the long run, on top of the day-to-day convenience of not shaving. Individual results may vary.
