I’ve heard that laser hair removal is expensive… but do you know how much you spend on your hair ?
The financial aspect of permanent laser hair removal :
Of course, the cost varies according to the area treated. Some people are worried about the financial aspect of laser treatment, but if you think about it, the cost of waxing a woman throughout her life is much higher: in 30 years, waxing every 3 weeks (the minimum to be impeccable) will cost you at least 13,000 euros. Laser hair removal is therefore an investment in the future.
I pay €20 for bikini waxing. With a laser, I have to pay between 60 and 80 euros every 4 weeks, and even 100 euros at Be Esthetic for a full bikini, including the furrow between the buttocks. When you consider that it can take up to eight sessions to achieve optimum results, that’s a real drain on the wallet. But it all depends on how you look at it: ‘The initial investment is certainly high, but you save a lot of money afterwards. You pay €20 for bikini waxing and you can enjoy it for up to two weeks. Add to that the time lost and the pain endured. A laser session will cost you between €60 and €100, but you’ll be free for a month. After the third session, 40% of the hair will never grow back, the remaining hair will be finer and regrowth will be slower. After 8 sessions there will still be 1 or 2 hairs barely visible to the naked eye (I say this because I once had a patient who came in with a magnifying glass to show me the remaining hairs). There is no such thing as 100% hair. And anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. There will always be 1 hair here or there, even with maintenance sessions. In short, the initial investment allows you to live a hair-free life, and that’s priceless. “At the end of the day, laser hair removal can even be more economical.”
Packages paid in advance ? Payment for several sessions cannot be made in advance.
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure, in accordance with article 55 of the medical code of ethics. In medicine, it is forbidden to charge for several sessions in advance : ‘Flat-rate payments for the effectiveness of a treatment and requests for a deposit are forbidden in all circumstances’.
Similarly, no commitment may be asked of you. Be wary of these practices, particularly when you are offered a reduced rate if you pay for several sessions in advance or if you pay in cash.
What’s more, neither you nor the practitioner knows how many sessions you will need. So only pay for the sessions you do. If you do several areas during the same session a preferential rate may be considered. But be aware that you will not do the same number of sessions for ½ legs and a full bikini.
At Be Esthetic, we offer packages, but if you have finished your underarms before your bikini line, the amount for the underarms will be deducted from the package.
See you soon!
