The question that makes full-body quotes comparable
"Full body" is not a standard definition anywhere in the industry, which is why quotes across clinics vary so much and why comparing them on price alone tells you almost nothing.
Ask exactly which areas are included, and specifically whether the face and the intimate areas are counted in. Two of the published figures here differ for that reason. A quote that includes the face and a Brazilian is a genuinely different purchase from one that covers arms, legs, underarms and stomach.
Ask also how many sessions the quoted price covers, and what a session costs after that number is exhausted. A low headline figure that covers four sessions of an eight-session course is not the bargain it appears to be.
The face runs on a different clock
This is the part most full-body plans get wrong. Body areas commonly finish in six to eight sessions. Facial areas commonly need eight to twelve, because facial hair is finer and hormone-responsive.
So a full-body course does not finish everywhere at once. Your legs, arms and underarms will be substantially done while your face still has sessions left to run. That is normal and is not a sign that something has failed — but you should hear it before you pay, not at session seven.
What the appointment actually looks like
Ninety minutes to two hours, which is a genuine commitment every four to six weeks for the better part of a year. Bring that into the decision alongside the money.
You will move through the areas in sequence with only the section being treated uncovered. Intimate areas are handled by a female therapist in the same private room. Everything is shaved beforehand — that is a lot of shaving the night before, and it is the part people underestimate.
Afterwards the 48-hour rules apply to all of it at once: no gym, hot showers, saunas, swimming or steam, and sun protection on anything exposed.
Whether it is the right choice for you
Full body suits someone treating four or more areas anyway, where the bundled session price works out below the same areas added up individually, and who can commit to a two-hour appointment every four to six weeks for eight to twelve months.
It suits you less well if only two areas actually bother you. Underarms and bikini line as a pair are a far smaller commitment in both money and time, and you can extend later without renegotiating anything — nothing here is prepaid.
And it does not suit anyone whose hair is largely fine, grey or light, wherever it is. Laser targets pigment in the hair; where there is little pigment, more sessions do not fix it, and you will be told that at assessment rather than after the third.
