There are many different ways to remove hair from the human body, like shaving, waxing, electrolysis, and more. However, if you’re looking for complete coverage and long-lasting results, one solution stands out:full body laser hair removal.
These treatments make it much easier to maintain smooth skin wherever you want it, leading to increased popularity among both men and women. This boom in the industry has led many others to make the switch from razors and wax to trips to a boutique likeSEV Laser.
You probably have a lot of questions, including “How much does full body laser hair removal cost?, “Why do people choose full body laser hair removal?”, and “Can I get full body laser hair removal near me?”
This guide will answer all of your questions about full body hair laser removal, covering the pros, cons, and long-term results associated with this service.
What Is Full Body Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal utilizes pulses of light to disable hair follicles. It targets the melanin in your hair with a specific wavelength of light that travels down the hair shaft. Once the light reaches the follicle, it transforms into a small burst of heat that deters the follicle from growing new hair.
Full body hair laser removalcovers your whole body at once, saving you the cost and effort of stacking individual treatments to address multiple areas. It can help you address all your hair reduction goals in one fell swoop.
The areas typically covered in full body hair removal sessions include the face, arms, legs, underarms, chest, neck, and bikini area, as well as any other areas you wish to have treated. A full body session usually takes 60 to 90 minutes.
Pros of Full Body Laser Hair Removal
Lasting Hair Reduction
The problem with waxing and shaving body hair is that it always grows back, trapping you in an expensive cycle of purchasing products or paying for waxing appointments. Full body laser hair removal is a more permanent option that keeps you always smooth with a minimal early commitment.
Time Efficiency
It can take hours every week to maintain smooth skin over your entire body. You can save time by getting full body last hair removal instead. A series of sessions can save time for the rest of your life, allowing you to enjoy more time outside the shower.
Smooth Skin
Shaving can lead to stubble, skin rashes, and ingrown hairs. Waxing can be just as bad, damaging and irritating your skin. In contrast, full body hair laser removal disables hair from the root, preventing irritation and reducing the risk of ingrown hairs over time.
Cost Savings
On top of the money you’ll be saving by ditching your razor and canceling waxing appointments, full body laser treatment lets you take advantage of bundled pricing. The cost of full body laser hair removal is lower than the cost to have each area of your body done separately over time, so it’s the most cost-effective way to achieve smoother skin.
Customizable Treatments
A full body treatment doesn’t mean you have to remove everything. It’s your choice whether to remove all of your body hair, or leave it in places you enjoy a little coverage. Especially at SEV, your treatment is tailored to your individual preferences.
Cons of Full Body Laser Hair Removal
Upfront Costs
Full laser hair removal cost can be more upfront than treating areas individually, but you get to enjoy the convenience of getting everything done at once. At SEV, we offer flexible payment plans that help make the costs more manageable.
Time Commitment
The great thing about the time commitment for laser hair removal is that it’s far less than a lifetime of shaving and waxing, and you don’t have to do it yourself! Full body laser hair removal typically takes at least 8 sessions, with each lasting about 90 minutes each.
Potential Discomfort
Some clients do experience discomfort during their full body laser hair removal treatments, especially when treating sensitive areas. While this is a con, the discomfort is generally much more tolerable than the pain of waxing! Most clients compare it to the snap of a rubber band, and at SEV, we uselaser machineswith integrated cooling to further reduce discomfort.
Post-Treatment Sensitivity
You may experience mild redness, irritation, or inflammation after full body laser hair removal. Under-qualified technicians increase your risk of side effects and burns, so search for studios like SEV Laser. We stay updated on best practices and technological innovations, and our staff are rigorously trained to maintain our high standards.
What to Expect During and After the Treatment
Pre-Treatment Preparation
To avoid adverse side effects from your laser treatment, plan on staying out of direct sunlight and tanning beds for two full weeks before your treatment. Shave your skin exactly 24 to 48 hours before your session. Avoid exfoliating or irritating your skin prior to full body laser hair removal.
During the Treatment
During your treatment at SEV, our staff will evaluate the treatment site and make sure you’re comfortable. Numbing cream is not necessary; if you feel any pain, be sure to tell your nurse. This feedback will help us better calibrate the laser to your skin type.
Post-Treatment Care
After each session, you’ll need to avoid direct sun exposure again for two weeks. Use mild, neutral creams and moisturizers. If there’s any stinging or redness, you can use aloe vera gel to alleviate it. Persistent inflammation can be soothed with hydrocortisone cream, but be sure to notify a nurse during your next session so they can lower the laser intensity.
Long-Term Results
Full Body Hair Reduction
Having realistic outcomes is a large part of laser hair removal. It takes time for all your body hair to experience a growth phase when it’s vulnerable to laser treatment. This is especially true when treating large areas like the entire body. While 8 sessions is enough for significant hair reduction, be prepared for your full body laser hair removal to require more sessions.
Maintenance Treatments
Hormones and hair growth cycles can affect how fast your body hair grows back after treatment. Some people experience little to no regrowth, while other areas are more prone to growth-stimulating hormonal fluctuations. Plus, different areas of your body may grow hair back at different rates, which is why at SEV, we plan ahead.
OurUnlimited Planis the best laser hair removal package for full body! With 18 months of treatments plus yearly touch-ups it ensures you can enjoy a lifetime of maintenance and smooth results.
Hair Reduction vs. Complete Removal
Laser hair removal can provide significant hair reduction with at least 8 sessions, but complete hairlessness may require a greater commitment. Some hair follicles may resist laser treatment for some time, requiring additional treatments and touch-ups to maintain perfectly smooth skin. This is why our Unlimited Plan is ideal, as it ensures enough treatments to see your highest possible level of hair reduction.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
Hair and Skin Types
Your skin type plays the largest role in how you respond to treatment.Skin types for laser hair removalare categorized using the Fitzpatrick scale. This ranges from Type I, which is very pale, to Type VI, which is very dark.
Lighter skin is easier to treat without danger of burns, while darker skin can only be treated safely using lasers with longer wavelengths, like the Nd:YAG laser available at all SEV locations.
Dark hairs with more melanin are easier to target, while light hairs can require stronger settings and take more sessions to get rid of.
Certain medical conditions and medications can also make your skin more vulnerable to side effects, so disclose your medical history and any prescriptions or topical products before full body laser hair removal.
With current laser technology, anyone with dark hair andno contraindicationscan be a good candidate for full body laser hair removal. You just need to find an experienced provider who has the right laser technology for your skin.
Risks and Side Effects
Laser hair removal only has a few common side effects, which include mild, temporary inflammation. Serious side effects are rare, with most cases caused by unskilled technicians. You can minimize risk by choosing your provider wisely, and alleviate side effects through proper preparation, cool packs, and neutral creams or gels.
Comparison with Other Hair Removal Methods
Waxing, shaving, electrolysis, and lasers are the four options when it comes to full body hair removal. Most DIY methods can mean spending up to 40+ hours and $1250 a year, and you still have to do all the work yourself. Professional waxing appointments often cost the same as laser hair removal appointments, but they force you into a lifetime commitment if you want to stay hair-free.
Electrolysis, like laser hair removal, also creates lasting results, and it can effectively target gray or blonde hairs that don’t respond to laser. However, it can be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, as each follicle must be treated one at a time, meaning that a single full body session will take hours and cost thousands of dollars. Electrolysis often alsorequires more treatment sessionsthan laser to show similar results, so it’s not the best treatment to start with if you’re looking for full body smoothness.
Choosing the Best Provider
The right laser hair removal provider for your full body treatments will have the latest equipment, experienced nurses, and an accommodating atmosphere that’ll help you feel comfortable for the duration of your treatment. At SEV, we’ve created an inclusive, premium environment where anyone can achieve their aesthetic goals in complete comfort.
With our flexible and transparentlaser hair removal pricing, you’ll have no problem finding the right payment plan and treatment schedule for your needs. Your head-to-toe smoothness is just a click away, so go ahead andbook your treatment.

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
