How Much Does a Laser Facial Cost in 2026?

It’s 2026, and you might be asking yourself, how much should I pay for a laser facial?

Laser facial treatments are having their moment. They create quick but meaningful skin transformations in a non-invasive manner, delivering improvements in texture, tone, and firmness. But prices vary widely. In this guide, we’ll explain how much a laser facial costs on average, what’s behind the prices, and how much you can expect to pay at SEV.

How Much Does a Laser Facial Cost on Average?

On average, a laser facial costs $1,829 (ASPS) according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, with a range of $500–$5,000+ cited by other sources. Prices vary widely because there are many types of laser facial treatments, with different levels of intensity.

Gentler laser treatments like the Laser Facial at SEV are usually more affordable, while intensive ones often cost in the thousands.

Laser Facial Cost by Type of Laser

The type of laser is the single biggest factor behind price. Deep ablative lasers that remove the skin’s outer layer cost the most; gentler non-ablative and light-based treatments cost the least. Here’s how the most popular laser treatment devices compare:

Laser Facial Cost by Treatment Area

Treatment area also plays a role in how much a laser facial costs. Treating a small spot will cost far less than treating from the face all the way to the chest.

• Full face: typically starts at $200 for milder facials up to $3,500 for more intensive ones
• Neck add-on: typically starts $70 for a mild facial up to $800 for a more intensive one
• Neck and chest add-on: often starts at $140 and usually goes up to $1200
• Spot treatments: usually start at $150 for redness or veins, and go up to $600 for scarring

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Laser Facial?

• Type of laser: The biggest factor — ablative treatments with lasers like CO2 and Erbium cost more than milder non-ablative treatments, and fractional lasers (ablative or non-ablative) cost more than traditional ones.
• Treatment area size: Adding on treatment areas like neck and chest costs more than only treating the face, while the cost of treating spots depends more on the type of laser and treatment goal.
• Number of sessions: One session is often not enough, and a full treatment series will cost more.
• Provider background: Med spa treatments conducted by specialists or nurses are often more affordable than treatments carried out by board-certified dermatologists or cosmetic surgeons.
• Geographic location: Average treatment costs often skew higher in areas with higher costs of living, such as Los Angeles and New York.
• Additional clinical needs: For very intensive ablative laser facials, there may be additional facility, anesthesia, or post-treatment prescription costs.

Hidden Costs to Budget For

Hidden costs surrounding certain laser treatments can add hundreds of dollars to your total, especially if you’re undergoing a deep ablative treatment or getting treated at a clinic with mandatory skincare requirements. Those costs may include:

• Pre- and post-treatment prep ($100–$500), such as specialized sunscreens, retinoids, skin lighteners, or prophylactics.
• Aftercare products ($100–$500), such as barrier creams, antibiotics, and follow-up visits, especially if getting treated at a med spa that requires use of their own skincare products.
• Consultation fees, which some providers charge before booking.
• Anesthesia before more intensive ablative laser treatments

How to Get an Accurate Price Estimate

To get an accurate estimate for your laser facial, the best starting point is to see if your provider publishes their prices online. Many providers list prices per session or packages, which makes it easier to budget.

If your provider doesn’t have prices listed, look at reviews on Google, RealSelf, and Reddit to see if previous clients have shared prices.

Then, ask for a free consultation. This is your opportunity to ask questions and request a price estimate. Make sure to ask for a full price breakdown based on the number of treatments you’ll need and any additional products or add-on services.

Book an Affordable Laser Facial at SEV

At SEV, we offer two types of laser facials:

We offer Clear + Brilliant, a fractional, non-ablative laser facial ideal for addressing discoloration, blemishes, and mild texture. It starts at $220 per session with a membership or $395 when paying for a single session.

For those seeking a milder option, the SEV Laser Facial is an entry-level, non-ablative treatment performed on an FDA-cleared device by trained professionals. It takes 15 minutes, has no downtime, and leaves the skin refreshed, helping to clarify, brighten, and boost collagen. A single session typically costs $199, or as little as $100 with a membership.

Because both are gentle, non-ablative treatments rather than a deep ablative resurfacing, they sit at the affordable end of the range without compromising treatment quality.
