The most difficult question many people ask when considering laser hair removal is "How much will it cost? This article lays out the market price so that you can have a clear idea of what you are getting into and whether or not it is worth the money.
Conclusion: Laser hair removal is the most recommended long-term option.
There are a number of ways to remove beards on the market - razors, electric shavers, plucking, waxing, hair removal creams - each of which will 'work in the moment' but none of which will allow you to get to the root of the problem.
Laser hair removal is the only method that can destroy hair follicles and significantly reduce or even stop hair growth. After a full course of treatment, most people's scruff will be visibly reduced and thinner, no longer needing to shave every day, and folliculitis and shaving problems will also improve. Although there is an upfront cost involved, in the long run, it is the least time consuming, least labor intensive, and most effective option.
Laser Hair Removal Cost Reference
Below is a list of current market conditions for medical aesthetics clinics in Taiwan for your reference:
Localized areas (midriff, chin, partial moustache) NT$1,000~1,500 per visit
Ideal for people who are only bothered by localized scruff, such as the hairs above the lip or a specific area of the chin. The small size of the area means that the cost per session is relatively low, and the cumulative cost of the treatment is less.
Full beard area (chin + jawline + midriff + full lip area) NT$1,800~2,500 per visit
Covers the complete range of beard growth, suitable for men who have a wide distribution of scruff and need to shave extensively on a daily basis. It is the most efficient way to treat the whole area at once.
The total cost of the complete treatment is about NT$15,000-30,000 (usually 8-12 sessions are required).
This is the total cost range for completing the entire treatment to achieve long-lasting hair reduction. The actual number of sessions varies from person to person. The thicker and denser the hair, the more sessions may be needed.
Is it worth the money? I'll show you.
At about $300 a month for a razor, that's $3,600 a year. That's more than $36,000 over ten years - not counting the cost of shaving foam, scratch care, time, and the psychological burden of looking in the mirror every morning.
The cost of laser hair removal, from another perspective, is actually a one-time investment to solve the problem. After the treatment, most people only need to shave occasionally, or even do not need to shave at all, and the time and supplies saved in the following years are actually quite substantial.
The price difference is so big, what is the difference?
Why do some clinics charge 1,800 for the same "Full Face Beard Laser" while others charge more than 3,000? There are several factors that affect the price:
The brand and model of equipment used. Original certified medical grade equipment is more costly, and its effectiveness and safety are more guaranteed. Some practitioners use non-medical grade or replica equipment, which is less expensive but less predictable in terms of effectiveness and risk.
Whether there is a doctor to evaluate and operate. The treatments in a legitimate medical clinic need to be evaluated and set by a doctor, and the cost of labor is naturally reflected in the price. Non-medical clinics cannot be performed by a doctor, nor can they deal with anomalies immediately.
Treatment range and energy settings. Everyone's hair condition is different, so are their energy settings. Some clinics offer customized programs, which will also affect the final quote.
Before you choose a price, check these two things first
Cheap treatments are not always cost effective and expensive ones are not always the best. It is advisable to check before comparing prices:
Firstly, is it a legal medical institution and is the treatment conducted by a doctor? Laser is a medical behavior, which must be performed in a legal clinic and by a doctor in order to have legal protection and medical safety.
Secondly, are the instruments used original certified equipment? Ask directly for the brand and model number, and confident clinics will be able to answer clearly.
