How body and sweat treatments are priced
miraDry, body contouring, carboxytherapy, and laser hair removal use different units. Some are per treated side, some per area, some per session. This page outlines them and how to choose.
How to choose
Area size
Larger areas need more time and passes, so they are listed separately.
Single-use tips
Some systems use a disposable tip per treatment. Ask if it is included.
Session count
Hair removal and body contouring are series. A per-visit figure is easier to compare.
Skin and hair type
Hair color and skin tone change laser settings and the number of visits.
Numbing
Local anesthesia for sweat treatments may be bundled or separate.
