How much time and money have you spent shaving, waxing, or tweezing? For most of us, hair removal feels like a never-ending chore. But what if you could stop worrying about it altogether? Laser hair removal is becoming an increasingly popular choice for those looking for long-term solutions, but many still wonder: Is it really worth it?
At The Cosmetic Clinic Invercargill, we’re here to guide you through the process, answer your questions, and help you decide if laser hair removal is the right choice for you.
1. The True Cost of Hair Removal: Breaking It Down
When comparing laser hair removal to traditional methods like shaving or waxing, the upfront cost can feel intimidating. However, let’s take a closer look:
For a Full Leg treatment in Invercargill:
- Waxing: $70 per session x 12 sessions a year = $840/year.
- Laser Hair Removal: $117.50/session x 12 sessions (average) = $1,410 (one-time investment).
Over ten years, you could spend over $7,000* on waxing and still have to keep going. With laser hair removal, the results are long-lasting, meaning you save thousands in the long run.
Convenience: Time is Money
Hair removal isn’t just about money; it’s about time. On average, people spend around 39 hours a year shaving. That’s nearly two full days you could reclaim for yourself every year!
With laser hair removal, you’ll enjoy smoother skin without the daily or weekly hassle. Imagine no more shaving before a last-minute event or enduring the discomfort of waxing appointments. Laser hair removal gives you the gift of time—and freedom from the hair removal cycle.
Marek Grabowski, Franchisee of The Cosmetic Clinic Invercargill, explains:
"Laser hair removal uses advanced technology to target hair follicles, offering a long-term solution for reducing unwanted hair. Treatments are tailored to meet individual needs, making it suitable for a variety of clients."
Effectiveness and Long-Term Results
Laser hair removal works by targeting hair follicles with laser light, effectively disabling their ability to grow hair. After just a few sessions, most clients experience a dramatic reduction in hair growth. Some key points to know:
- Up to 90% Permanent Hair Reduction: Clinical evidence suggests that laser hair removal can achieve significant and long-lasting hair reduction, with many clients experiencing up to 90% reduction in hair regrowth. This outcome depends on factors such as hair type, skin tone, and adherence to a recommended treatment schedule.

- Suitable for Most Skin and Hair Types: Our advanced Lumenis Splendor X laser is designed to work on a variety of skin tones, making the treatment more accessible than ever.
Addressing Common Concerns
It’s normal to have questions or hesitations about laser hair removal. Let’s address a few common concerns:
- Does it hurt? Thanks to modern cooling technology, the sensation is often described as a mild zap or warmth, which is significantly less painful than waxing.
- Is it safe? Laser hair removal is FDA-approved and performed by trained professionals. All our therapists undergo extensive training and are certified laser technicians.
- Is it worth the cost? Laser hair removal eliminates recurring expenses like waxing, shaving products, or threading, offering a long-term financial benefit.
