What does a full-body laser hair removal package include?

“Full body” is a package name, not a universal medical definition. One clinic may include the face and neck, while another may price those areas separately. Bikini line and Brazilian treatments are not interchangeable, and small areas such as hands, feet, fingers or toes may have separate rules.

A full-body plan may combine several commonly requested areas, including:

• full legs or lower legs;
• full arms or half arms;
• underarms;
• chest, abdomen, shoulders or back;
• bikini line or Brazilian bikini, when appropriate;
• selected facial or neck areas, if suitable and included.

The areas above are examples, not a promise that every area is included in every package. Ask for the treatment map in writing. Laser should not be directed at the eyelids or immediate eye area, directly over tattoos, or onto skin that cannot be treated safely that day.

How does full-body laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target pigment, called melanin, in suitable hair. The absorbed light becomes heat and damages the follicle, reducing its ability to produce new hair. The goal is progressive, long-term hair reduction across the treated areas.

Not every hair is responsive on the same day. Hair grows in cycles, and laser works most effectively when a hair is in an active growth phase. That is why a full-body package requires a series of appointments rather than one very long treatment.

Hair may shed over several days to weeks after an appointment. With an effective treatment plan, regrowth may become less dense, finer and slower. Laser hair removal does not guarantee that every treated hair will disappear forever. Hormonal changes, aging, medications and conditions that stimulate hair growth can affect future regrowth and maintenance needs.

Who is a good candidate for a full-body package?

Hair and skin must be assessed separately. Darker, coarser hair usually responds best because it contains more target pigment. White, grey and very light blonde hair generally responds poorly or not at all, while red hair is often difficult to treat effectively.

People across a broad range of skin tones may be candidates when the provider selects an appropriate wavelength and conservative, individualized settings. A recent tan or sunburn can change the amount of pigment in the skin and may require postponement. Darker skin also requires particular experience and careful parameter selection to reduce the risk of burns or pigment changes.

A consultation is especially important if you:

• have recently tanned or used self-tanner;
• take prescription medicine, over-the-counter medicine or supplements;
• have used isotretinoin or have a history of keloids or difficult scarring;
• have active irritation, infection, open skin or a herpes outbreak in a proposed area;
• have tattoos, permanent makeup or pigmented lesions in or near a treatment area;
• have PCOS or another condition associated with excess hair growth;
• are pregnant, may be pregnant or have recently had a major hormonal change.

Laser can reduce suitable hair associated with a hormonal condition, but it does not treat the underlying cause. Fine facial hair also requires careful assessment because laser can rarely stimulate increased growth in or around a treated area.

How many full-body laser hair removal sessions will you need?

Many suitable LMC clients begin with a series of at least six treatments. The exact number depends on the areas treated, hair colour, thickness and density, skin type, hormonal influences, treatment settings and individual response. Facial and hormonally influenced hair may require more sessions and periodic maintenance.

Body appointments are commonly spaced about six to eight weeks apart at LMC, while facial areas are often treated about four to six weeks apart. If one package contains both face and body areas, the schedule may need to be individualized rather than forcing every area onto the same calendar.

More frequent treatment is not automatically better. Treating too early may mean fewer target hairs are in a responsive growth phase. Read LMC’s guide to timing laser hair removal sessions for a fuller explanation.

How much does full-body laser hair removal cost in Toronto?

At LMC, the regular 2026 full-body prices listed below are based on the clinic’s published price schedule. Six-session packages are priced at the cost of five individual treatments. Promotions can change, so use the live pricing page rather than an old screenshot before purchasing.

Prices are in Canadian dollars and are subject to change. Confirm included areas, applicable tax, eligibility and current terms with LMC. Visit the LMC treatment price list and current promotions for live information.

Eligible treatment plans may have financing options, subject to lender approval and terms. You can also view the live store listings for women’s full-body laser hair removal and men’s full-body laser hair removal. A consultation is still recommended before purchase to confirm suitability and inclusions.

When is the package good value?

A package is valuable only if you would realistically use the included areas and sessions. A discounted treatment you do not need is still wasted money. Full-body pricing may make sense when several large areas are priorities and the package is less expensive than buying the same areas separately.

An individual-area, upper-body or lower-body plan may be more sensible when you are unsure how your hair will respond, only want a few areas treated or cannot commit to a full series. The right comparison is total treatment-plan cost, not the lowest advertised monthly payment or single-session price.

How to compare full-body laser hair removal package quotes

Two clinics can advertise “full body” while selling materially different plans. Compare the details below before deciding which quote is actually cheaper.

What should you expect during a full-body appointment?

1. Assessment: Your provider reviews the areas, hair characteristics, skin tone, recent sun exposure, health changes and medications.
2. Preparation check: The skin should be clean, and surface hair should be shaved according to the clinic’s instructions. Tattoos and areas that should not be treated are identified and protected.
3. Eye protection: Everyone in the treatment room wears appropriate protective eyewear.
4. Customized settings: The provider selects the wavelength, energy, pulse duration, spot size and cooling based on the area and assessment.
5. Laser delivery: Each pulse may feel like brief heat, prickling or a quick snap. Sensation varies by area, density and personal sensitivity.
6. Post-treatment review: Temporary redness, warmth or swelling around follicles can occur. You receive aftercare instructions and a plan for the next visit.

There is no honest universal time estimate for a full-body visit. Appointment length depends on the package definition, body areas, hair density, settings and whether any area must be postponed. Larger spot sizes can improve coverage efficiency, but safety and complete treatment matter more than rushing.

If this is your first appointment, review what to expect at your first laser hair removal session.

How to prepare for full-body laser hair removal

• Shave the approved treatment areas approximately 24 to 48 hours beforehand, unless LMC gives you different instructions.
• Do not wax, pluck, thread or use electrolysis on the areas for at least four to six weeks before treatment.
• Avoid deliberate tanning, tanning beds, excessive sun exposure and self-tanner.
• Arrive with clean skin and no lotion, oil, deodorant, fragrance or makeup on the areas being treated.
• Disclose medicines, supplements, recent procedures, pregnancy and changes in your health.
• Tell the provider about tattoos, permanent makeup, scars, moles, active rashes, wounds or recent cold sores.

For shaving details, read LMC’s pre-laser shaving guide.

Aftercare

Follow the personalized instructions given after treatment. In general, protect treated skin from direct sun and tanning, use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher on exposed areas and avoid heat, friction, hot tubs, saunas, strenuous exercise and irritating skincare until the skin has settled.

Temporary redness, warmth, sensitivity and follicular swelling are common. Less common complications include blistering, crusting, infection, scarring and lasting pigment changes. Contact the clinic promptly for blistering, worsening pain, drainage, spreading redness or another reaction that concerns you.

Why LMC uses Candela GentleMax Pro Plus for full-body treatment

LMC uses the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, a medical laser platform that combines two wavelengths:

• 755 nm Alexandrite: commonly selected for suitable lighter skin tones and pigmented hair after assessment;
• 1064 nm Nd:YAG: an adaptable option for darker skin tones when appropriate settings are selected.

The platform offers spot sizes up to 26 mm, which can help a trained provider cover larger areas more efficiently. Its Dynamic Cooling Device delivers a controlled cooling burst immediately before a laser pulse to help protect the epidermis and improve comfort. Candela identifies the GentleMax Pro Plus under Health Canada medical device licence 75833.

The machine matters, but it is not the whole treatment. Patient selection, provider training, individualized settings, accurate treatment timing and adherence to pre-care and aftercare all affect safety and results. Learn more about Candela technology at LMC and view LMC patient testimonials.
