This is one of the most frequently asked questions about starting a laser hair removal business. There are several factors that impact the cost of a laser device, including the technology, accessories, manufacturer, and support system.

When purchasing a laser device, it’s important to note there are multiple purchasing options. The majority of aesthetic laser business owners typically finance their machines, with varying terms. For most people entering the aesthetic laser industry, it’s helpful to focus on the monthly payment rather than the total investment amount.
It’s important to focus on monthly payments when purchasing a laser because you will use it to generate income. Therefore, your objective should be to earn enough revenue each month to make your laser payment while achieving a profit.
As an illustration, if your new hair removal laser comes with a $2,000 monthly payment and you perform an average of ten treatments per month at $200 each, you’ll reach your break-even point. However, on average, a laser hair removal practitioner can treat up to 6 patients per hour, given a 10-minute treatment time per session. By applying the same $200 per treatment cost, a practitioner could earn up to $1,200 in one hour (more than half of a monthly payment).
While we advise against solely emphasizing the total purchase price of a hair removal laser, not all hair removal lasers are created equally. FDA-cleared lasers provided by reputable companies with included training and ongoing support can range from about $58k to $130k. The considerable variation in prices is influenced by factors such as features, models, manufacturing country, and the availability of services.
For prospective buyers of hair removal lasers, understanding the overall cost is crucial. However, it’s essential to shift focus towards assessing the monthly payment, down payment, and the potential return on investment (ROI). Evaluating these financial aspects provides a more comprehensive understanding of the implications and benefits associated with a hair removal laser.
