Cheap laser hair removal – how to save on procedures?

“Your services are not cheap, but quality is remembered longer than price” — say the clients of our epilation salon.

Let’s figure out why quality laser hair removal cannot be cheap, and how you save money by choosing this hair removal method.

How the cost of laser hair removal is formed

The price of the service depends on several components.

The cost of equipment. Diode and alexandrite lasers, which are the most common on the market, differ significantly in price. Certificates that confirm the equipment meets the technical regulations for medical devices are mandatory (Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Resolution 753 dated 02.10.2013).

The document allows you to be confident in the quality, safety, and effectiveness of the work, as ensured by the manufacturer. The salon’s website and social media pages should specifically indicate the type of equipment, not just “the most modern and effective.”

The alexandrite laser, which we use in LaserVille salons, is much more expensive than the diode one because it uses a specially grown stone as the active medium. We have detailed the differences between these two types of installations in our article.

Consumables. The most significant item in this category is the replacement of lamps, which are designed for a certain number of flashes (different for each device). The more expensive the installation, the more clients the salon can serve without replacing consumables. The main criterion – the effectiveness of the procedure – should still be considered.

Other types of consumables include antiseptics, epilation gel, and soothing creams. These can also be chosen at different costs.

And also single-use covers for couches, towels, spatulas, and gloves – tools that are mandatory in the work of an epilation salon.

Renting premises. In the city center, in a place with convenient transport connections, or on the outskirts – the price will always be different. But even in areas with low price levels, the salon owner still pays for electricity, heating, and water.

Staff salary. You should understand that cosmetologists and doctors with experience value the time spent on training. Hence the corresponding payment requirements. Their work is also automatically included in the final cost of the session.

Why should you be wary of cheap laser hair removal?

Based on the points listed above, we see that there is no way around the need for a master, equipment, and premises. How do some salons manage to save money then? Unfortunately, only on clients.
The first moment when they try to save as much as possible on you is cheap analogs of laser installations with similar names or even used devices, which are now plentiful on the market.

A course of hair removal on such equipment is at least wasted time. But there can be other negative consequences – skin irritation and burns due to the lack of the master’s knowledge and as a result – incorrectly set parameters for your skin and hair color.

Moreover, in some salons, lamps are not replaced in time when their service life has ended. Single-use sheets and robes are not used. They buy cheap gels and equipment disinfection products. If the resource of the consumable elements is exhausted – you will not get results, but will just waste time and money. Hence the conclusion that “cheap laser hair removal” is a trick, behind which lies the unknown.

To protect yourself from such “savings,” ask for the maintenance diary of the installation, with dates specified.

How to save on hair removal procedures?

If you go for waxing or sugaring, by paying for a laser hair removal course you save money.
Let’s do some simple calculations:

For example, you spend 180-300 hryvnias on one bikini waxing session (depending on the master and the salon). The frequency of visits depends on the hair growth speed – on average, it is 2-3 weeks. If you constantly monitor smooth skin, it turns out 2880 or 4800 UAH per year. For two years – 5760 or 9760. But the hair still does not go anywhere. They continue to “please” you with their appearance.

Now let’s calculate the cost of laser hair removal. Bikini on the alexandrite laser Motus AX – 895 hryvnias. On average, a course requires 6-8 procedures. A total of 5370 or 7160 UAH. Within a year, you complete the entire course and then need maintenance procedures 1-2 times a year to remove hair that was dormant during the course.

Moreover, regular sugar paste removal procedures or, for example, waxing – is pain, pain, and more pain. No matter the master’s skill – the hair is still pulled out “live.” Also, before the procedure, the hair must grow a few millimeters, and you have to walk with them and choose closed clothing for a few days a month.

Meanwhile, after a course of laser hair removal, you forget for several years what ingrown hairs, shaving irritation, salon appointments, and regret for the time spent on procedures are, which you can use for more pleasant moments. While the procedure is completely painless.

The choice is yours.

Why can you be confident in the quality of the Motus AX machine?

Our professional equipment is expensive. Because the manufacturing company does not just make promises. These are investments in research, expensive production materials, and consumables.
Maintenance of the device is also not cheap. Every 6-8 months (depending on the number of clients), a technical specialist from the DEKA company replaces the lamps on each laser installation.

Besides this, it will be useful for you to know that the equipment is equipped with artificial intelligence, which does not allow the lamp to work if its resource is exhausted. The device automatically issues an error and shuts down.

The Motus AX device has a powerful skin cooling system built in. Therefore, even on super-sensitive areas, anesthetics are not needed.

All our epilation masters have undergone specialized training to work with the Motus AX laser to accurately set parameters and choose protocols that suit your skin and hair type. By the way, the device can be used for epilation of tanned and African-American skin types.

The manufacturing company is interested in ensuring that competent specialists work on its devices – Motus AX – and the service quality is top-notch. Therefore, seminars, practical master classes, and training sessions are often held.

Despite the seemingly high cost of a course of procedures in our salon, you, on the contrary, save. Your nerves, money, and the most precious resource that money cannot buy – time. You see results already after the first procedure on the alexandrite laser – 15-20% of the hair disappears. We hope that now the queries like “cheap hair removal” and “free epilation” have lost their meaning for you, and the material provided general concepts of how the service price is formed.

We will do everything to make your skin smooth. Come and see the effectiveness of the laser and the masters’ work.
