Shaving, waxing, and plucking can feel like a never-ending, time-consuming hassle. Maybe you’ve considered laser hair removal in the past but were hesitant about the price. We’ve got good news — laser hair removal costs in NYC are more affordable than ever thanks to the FABrx Studio unlimited laser hair removal package.
What is Laser Hair Removal? (And Why is Everyone Obsessed?)
You’ve probably heard the buzz about laser hair removal, but what’s it all about? Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction. It works using a precise light beam that targets the hair follicle, or root, of each individual hair and stunts its ability to grow new hair.
Laser Hair Removal vs. the Alternatives
Let’s compare it to the other common hair removal methods and see how it stacks up over time:
- Shaving: On average, women spend $7,000 on shaving products throughout their lifetime. It might seem cheap upfront, but think about how often you’re buying razors, and shaving cream, and dealing with nicks, cuts, and ingrown hairs. Plus, consider all the time you spend shaving. It’s a daily commitment!
- Waxing: Results last several weeks, but let’s be honest — it’s painful. Plus, regular waxing appointments can be time-consuming and costly.
- Electrolysis: Electrolysis is a hair removal method that uses an electric current to destroy the hair follicle, preventing future growth. While effective, it is slow and can be painful due to the insertion of a needle into each follicle. Laser hair removal is a better is faster, less painful, and more efficient for larger areas, offering longer-lasting results with fewer sessions and less pain.
So, while the upfront cost of laser hair removal might seem higher, when you consider the lifetime costs of other methods, the time saved, and the long-lasting results, laser hair removal end up being a smart investment.

Your Laser Hair Removal Questions, Answered!
You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers! Let’s cover some of the most common queries we hear:
How much does it cost to remove hair by laser?
It depends! The size of the area, the number of sessions, and the clinic you choose all play a role. Check out our pricing table above for a general idea, but remember, a consultation is the best way to get a personalized quote.
Is laser hair removal worth it?
In a word: YES! Think about how much money you spend on razors, shaving cream, and waxing appointments over your lifetime. Not to mention the time! Laser hair removal is an investment in yourself– smooth, confident skin that lasts. Plus, no more stubble!
How much hair is removed with one laser session?
One session of laser hair removal usually targets hair in the treatment area that is actively in the “anagen” (growth) phase, which is typically around 20-30% of the hair in any given area at a time. This means that during a single session, only a portion of the hair is actually affected. Since hair grows in different cycles, multiple sessions (usually 6-8) are necessary to target hair at different growth stages and achieve long-lasting results.
Is laser hair removal cheaper than shaving?
Over your lifetime, laser hair removal can actually be more cost-effective than shaving. Consider all those razors, shaving cream, and the time you spend shaving every week (many women spend over $200 per year on razors alone!). Laser hair removal is an investment that pays off in the long run.
Is laser hair removal painful?
At FABrx Studio, we use some of the most advanced laser technology in conjunction with topical numbing cream, providing patients with the most pain free experience possible.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal is not considered completely permanent, but it provides long-term results. While it can significantly reduce hair growth, many people experience hair regrowth over time, though it tends to be finer and lighter. Multiple sessions are needed to target hair in different growth stages, and after the full treatment series, most individuals enjoy smooth skin for months or even years. For some, occasional touch-up sessions may be necessary to maintain the results, but overall, it offers a long-lasting solution compared to traditional methods like shaving or waxing.
