Key takeaways
- Single areas in Edmonton run from about $60 (underarms) to $200 (full legs) per session; full-body packages bring it down to $225–$250 per session.
- Most people need 6–8 sessions, so budget for a course, not a single visit.
- Over 10 years, a full course of laser typically costs less than waxing the same areas.
- Bundles, the 12-session full-body plan and the $50 new-client gift card are the biggest levers on price.
What laser hair removal costs per area in Edmonton
Prices in Edmonton vary with the size of the area, the technology used and whether you buy sessions individually or as a package. Here is what our current per-session pricing looks like at Oxyderm Laser Clinic, see the promotions page for this month’s exact offers.
| Area | Per session | Typical course | Session time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Underarms | $60 | 6–8 sessions | 10–15 min |
| Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns) | $100 | 6–8 sessions | 15–20 min |
| Brazilian / bikini | $110 | 6–8 sessions | 20–30 min |
| Full legs | $199.99 | 6–8 sessions | 45–60 min |
| Underarms + face bundle | $150 | 6–8 sessions | 25–35 min |
| Underarms + Brazilian bundle | $170 | 6–8 sessions | 30–45 min |
| Full legs + Brazilian bundle | $250 | 6–8 sessions | 60–90 min |
| Full body: 6-session plan | $250 / session | 6 sessions | Up to 2 hrs |
| Full body: 12-session plan | $225 / session | 12 sessions | Up to 2 hrs |
Two things explain most of the difference between clinics: the laser itself and the technician. Medical-grade platforms like the Candela GentleMax Pro (Alexandrite + Nd:YAG) and LightSheer Duet (diode) cost far more to buy and maintain than IPL “hair reduction” devices, but they remove hair in fewer sessions and are safe on a wider range of skin tones. Paying less per session for a weaker device often means paying for more sessions.
What a full course really costs
Because hair grows in cycles, a laser can only disable follicles that are actively growing on the day of your visit. That is why every honest clinic quotes a course, usually 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, rather than a single treatment. Multiply the per-session price by the number of sessions to get the real number:
| Area | Per session | × 6 sessions | × 8 sessions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Underarms | $60 | $360 | $480 |
| Brazilian | $110 | $660 | $880 |
| Full legs | $199.99 | $1,200 | $1,600 |
| Full body (12-session plan) | $225 | $2,700 for 12 |
After the course, most clients see 80–90% permanent reduction and book an occasional maintenance session (once or twice a year) for the few fine hairs that return with hormonal changes.
Laser vs. shaving vs. waxing: the 10-year math
It is easy to look at a $660 Brazilian course and hesitate. It is harder to notice what waxing quietly costs over a decade. A monthly Brazilian wax in Edmonton runs $50–$70; add ingrown-hair products and the odd cancelled appointment and the number gets large fast.
| Method | Cost per visit / month | 10-year total (approx.) | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shaving (razors, gel, time) | $15–$25 / month | $1,800–$3,000 | Regrowth in 1–3 days, ingrowns |
| Waxing (Brazilian, monthly) | $50–$70 / visit | $6,000–$8,400 | Regrowth in 3–5 weeks, pain |
| Laser (6–8 sessions + yearly touch-up) | $660–$880 once, then ~$110 / yr | $1,500–$2,000 | 80–90% permanent reduction |
The laser column also buys back time, roughly 60 hours of shaving over ten years for legs and underarms alone, and it ends the ingrown-hair cycle that makes shaving and waxing frustrating for so many people.
Six ways to pay less for laser hair removal
- Bundle areas. Underarms + face for $150 saves $10 every visit compared with booking them separately; the legs + Brazilian bundle saves $60.
- Commit to the course. The 12-session full-body plan drops the price to $225 per session, versus $250 on the 6-session plan.
- Use the new-client gift card. Every new client receives a $50 gift card as a new client at Oxyderm.
- Watch the monthly promos. Laser hair removal deals rotate each month, the promos page lists what is on now.
- Consider a membership. Our Silver, Gold and Platinum memberships convert a monthly fee into treatment credit plus member-only pricing.
- Start in autumn or winter. Sun-free skin can be treated more aggressively, so you need fewer “gentle” sessions, and you are smooth by summer.
What is (and isn’t) included in the price
At Oxyderm, the price you see covers the consultation, a test patch if needed, the treatment itself with a certified laser technician, and post-care instructions. There are no “numbing fees” or “cooling gel fees” added at the counter. What is not included: the sessions you skip. Consistency is the single biggest predictor of results, and a course finished on schedule almost always costs less than one dragged out over two years.
Cheap laser is rarely cheap. If a clinic quotes half the price, ask what device they use, whether the technician is certified, and how many sessions they expect you to need.
Is laser hair removal worth it?
If you currently shave or wax an area every week or month, yes, the numbers above are not close. If you only remove hair a few times a year, a single small area (upper lip, underarms) is still a reasonable investment because the sessions are quick and inexpensive. The best way to know your exact cost is a free consultation: we will look at your hair and skin type, tell you honestly how many sessions to plan for, and quote the whole course up front.
Your questions, answered
Straight answers from the Oxyderm clinical team on the questions this article raises. Browse all 89 answers or ask us directly.
How much is laser hair removal for underarms in Edmonton?
Underarm laser hair removal at Oxyderm is $60 per session, and most clients need 6–8 sessions, about $360–$480 for the full course, with occasional maintenance afterwards.
How much does full-body laser hair removal cost?
Our full-body plans are $250 per session on the 6-session plan or $225 per session on the 12-session plan. Full body covers the face, underarms, arms, bikini or Brazilian, legs and back.
Why do I need so many sessions?
Lasers only disable hair follicles in the active growth phase, and only 15–25% of hairs are in that phase at any one time. Spacing sessions 4–6 weeks apart catches each new wave of growth.
Is laser hair removal cheaper than waxing long term?
Yes. A monthly Brazilian wax costs roughly $6,000–$8,400 over ten years, while a laser course plus yearly touch-ups is typically $1,500–$2,000 for the same area.
Do you offer payment plans or packages?
Yes: bundled areas, 6- and 12-session full-body plans and monthly memberships all reduce the per-session price. Ask at your consultation for the option that fits your budget.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The quoted price includes the consultation, a test patch when needed, the treatment and aftercare guidance. New clients also receive a $50 gift card as a new client.
Does laser hair removal cost more for dark skin?
No. Darker skin tones are treated with the Nd:YAG laser on our Candela GentleMax Pro at the same per-area pricing; the technology, not the price, changes.
