When it comes to the cost, waxing is pretty far up on that scale. A treatment for full legs, bikini, underarms and upper lip will cost around $100 (without tip nor tax). If you wax once a month, that makes $1,200 a year. If you wax for 50 years, that makes $60,000.
Believe it or not, even though the cost of shaving seems to be fairly pocket-friendly, it still ends up being higher than an at-home IPL hair removal handset. Let's say your disposable razor costs $20. A year's worth of cartridges is $35. Shaving cream costs between $5 and $15 a month. $120 total a year then. That’s $1,200 over ten years, $2,400 over twenty, and so on.
Depilatory creams take considerable time to apply and work. They also end up being quite expensive. If one tube does your full legs, you will need more for other areas. Let's say you will need a treatment every week, so paying $8 per bottle, four to five times a month will bring the cost to $40 a month. That's $480 a year, $4,800 over ten years.
Although IPL is certainly the pricier option with a relatively high one-off cost when comparing it to shaving or depilatory creams, the investment will last you a significant amount of time. If you compare how many razors or depilatory creams you purchase per year, the total can be just as much, if not more than what our IPL handset cost.
