Full face is between $250-650. The price is varied because it is based on time required to do the process, the density of the hair and skin tone. L.A. has a million different laser hair removal places so i would suggest going on hairremovalforum.com/ca/la.htm (that’s where i found a list of places in L.A.) When you find a place on that list, you can call and ask about their age requirements or restrictions.

Also, most people need at least 6-8 initial treatments spaced 6-10 weeks apart. This is because hair grows in 3 phases and is killed in the first “anagen” active growing phase. Several treatments are needed to target ALL hair in the active growth phase. Approximately 6-10 weeks after every treatment, additional treatment is required to eliminate the hairs that came out of the dormant phase and are now active. After 6-8 treatments or so, patients should experience a considerable percentage of hair reduction. Depending upon hair type and genetic factors, some clients may require additional treatments beyond these initial treatments.

As for the pain, everyone’s pain threshold is different, but generally laser hair removal is not much more painful than waxing, but the sensation is different. It resembles a rubber band snapping against the skin for a quick second with each pulse. Most people do not require an anesthetic cream (like EMLA), but one may be used for very sensitive patients/areas (can be provided or prescribed at the clinic).

Good luck!
