"How much does it cost?" is one of the first questions people ask about laser hair removal, and it's a fair one. Prices vary a lot from clinic to clinic, so here's a clear, honest guide to what you'll pay at Luminier in Leighton Buzzard, what affects the price, and how it compares with years of waxing.
From £20 per session
Small areas such as the upper lip start from £20, underarms from £40, a Brazilian or Hollywood from £65 and full legs from £120 per session. Courses of 6 or 9 sessions cost less per session, and your consultation and patch test are free.
What affects the price?
The size of the area
Larger areas such as full legs or a full back take longer to treat than an upper lip or chin, so they cost more per session.
How many sessions you need
Most people need 6 to 10 sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, because the laser can only treat hairs in their active growth phase.
Your hair and skin
Hormonal hair, for example with PCOS/PMOS, can need more sessions and regular top-ups. We'll give you a realistic plan at your consultation.
Single sessions or a course
Booking a course of 6 or 9 sessions brings the price per session down, as the table below shows.

Treating more than one area?
Many clients combine areas, and our combination packages keep the cost down. For example, full legs, any bikini and underarms is £140 per session, £680 for 6 sessions or £1,000 for 9. We also offer half legs or full arms with any bikini and underarms from £120 per session.
For the complete head-to-toe treatment, our Ultimate Full Body package starts from £385 per session.
Is laser cheaper than waxing in the long run?
Laser costs more upfront, but waxing is a cost that never stops. Here's an example for legs, bikini and underarms over five years. Waxing prices vary, so swap in your own numbers.
Every 5 weeks, for 5 years
- About 10 visits a year× 5 years
- At around £55 a visit£550 / year
≈ £2,750
And it carries on after that.
A course, then occasional top-ups
- 9-session course£1,000
- About 4 top-ups over the next 4 years≈ £560
≈ £1,560
Plus no more regrowth, rashes or waxing appointments.
Example only. Top-ups are shown at the single-session price of £140. How many you need depends on your hair and hormones, and we'll talk this through at your consultation.

Why the cheapest deal isn't always the best value
It's tempting to go for the lowest price you can find, but a few questions are worth asking wherever you book:
- What qualifications does the practitioner have? Look for a recognised laser qualification such as VTCT Level 4.
- Which laser do they use? Not every laser suits every skin tone, especially darker skin.
- Will they patch test first? A patch test checks how your skin responds before your first full session.
- Will you see the same person each time? Consistency helps your settings and progress be tracked properly.
Sessions that don't work, or that have to be repeated, end up costing more in the long run.
Frequently asked questions
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. Your consultation and patch test are completely free, with no pressure to book a course.
Can I swap areas within my package?
No. Packages are fixed to the areas you choose, so we can plan your treatment and pricing correctly. We'll help you pick the right areas at your consultation.
Will I need top-up sessions?
Most people do. After your course, we usually recommend a single session on each area about 6 months later, then once a year. Hormonal hair may need top-ups more often.
Can I buy laser hair removal as a gift?
Yes. Our gift vouchers start from £50 and can be used towards any treatment. Buy a gift voucher
When is the best time to start?
Autumn and winter are ideal, because it's easier to avoid the sun between sessions. Read our guide to the best time of year to start
