laser hair removal - the math over 5 years

did full back + chest, 8 sessions over 18 months, $1800 total with a package deal. compare to: waxing monthly at $120 = $1440/yr, shaving = ingrown hell + time. laser is essentially done after 5 years of shaving/waxing in cost. for me it paid off by year 2. if you're committed to removing hair forever, laser wins on math alone.
