Laser Hair Removal Cost vs Waxing and Shaving: A 10-Year Comparison from Laser by Aleya

GREAT NECK, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The number almost everyone cites for laser hair removal cost, $697, isn't a laser hair removal figure. It comes from a broader "laser skin treatments" survey that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has never broken out by procedure. Guides quoting that same source can't even agree on the number; $582 and $389 get attributed to the identical survey elsewhere.

Laser by Aleya, a laser hair removal and electrolysis studio based in Great Neck, is highlighting its 10-year cost comparison using its own prices and comparing with industry trends, so readers can check the math against their own habits instead of relying on an unverified average.

Laser Hair Removal Cost: The National Averages, and Why They Mislead

Per the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the widely quoted $697 figure comes from a survey category covering laser skin treatments broadly, not laser hair removal specifically. The organization doesn't publish a methodology explaining how it arrived at that number.

CareCredit's cost study takes a more honest approach, reporting a $207 to $913 per-session range by treatment area rather than a single average. User-submitted data on RealSelf puts the figure higher still, around $1,016. None of these numbers are wrong exactly.

ASPS combines a broad, undefined category of treatments into one average. CareCredit breaks cost down by treatment area. RealSelf uses an average of what patients say they actually paid. Three different measurements, not three answers to the same question. A single national average can't mean much when an upper lip and a full back are both technically "laser hair removal."

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost by Body Area?

For anyone comparing full body laser hair removal cost across providers, per-area pricing is the number that actually matters, not a national average. Laser by Aleya publishes its own per-session pricing rather than a range:

- Upper lip: $30

- Full face: $120

- Underarms: $55

- Full legs: $175

- Full back: $100

- Bikini: $55

- Brazilian: $75

- Full body: $500

Per-session price is only half the picture. Per the American Academy of Dermatology, most people need multiple sessions spaced weeks apart before results are consistent. This means session count, not the price of any single visit, is what actually drives total cost. Anyone comparing laser hair removal cost between providers should ask about typical session counts for their area, not just the per-session rate.

The Method, Shown in Full

Using underarms as a worked example, here's a 10-year comparison built from stated, conservative assumptions. By substituting your own habits and spending into this comparison, you'll see how they compare specifically for you.

- Shaving: A four-pack of replacement cartridges runs roughly $18 and lasts about two weeks with regular use, roughly $117 a year, or about $1,170 over 10 years.

- Waxing: A monthly appointment at roughly $45 runs about $585 a year, or about $5,850 over 10 years.

- Laser: At $55 a session, an eight-session initial course (the higher end of typical ranges) plus one touch-up session a year for the remaining nine years totals 17 sessions, or about $935 over 10 years.

On this conservative accounting, laser comes in below both shaving and waxing over a 10-year window for this specific area, even using the higher end of a typical session count.

So, it boils down to the laser requiring fewer repeat purchases over 10 years than shaving and waxing, making it more financially sound in the long run.

When Laser Is Not the Cheaper Option

The math above doesn't hold in every case. Laser tends to cost more than it's worth for:

- Very small areas, where the total cost of either method is low enough that switching saves little in absolute terms

- Light, grey, or blonde hair, which laser targets poorly regardless of price. Per the FDA, hair and skin tone both affect how well laser treatment works, and electrolysis is generally the better option where hair laser can't reliably target

- Infrequent shavers, whose baseline spending is already low enough that the ten-year comparison favors laser by a smaller margin

- Anyone with a hormonal driver behind their hair growth, where ongoing maintenance sessions may be needed regardless of how many rounds are completed, changing the total cost calculation entirely

Being upfront about these cases is part of what makes the comparison above worth trusting in the first place.

Laser Hair Removal Cost in New York City: What to Ask Before Booking

In a market with as many providers as New York City, price transparency is one of the clearest signals of a studio worth trusting. Before booking, it's worth asking a provider for their actual per-area pricing rather than a ballpark, their typical session count for your specific hair and skin type, and whether a patch test is included before the first full session.

"Most 'starting at' prices in this industry are technically true and still misleading. They're built off the smallest area or the fewest sessions anyone could plausibly need," said Aleya Bamdad, Founder & CEO of Laser by Aleya. "We stopped using that framing because it just delays the real cost conversation to session two instead of having it before someone books."

One analysis found that providers who publish real pricing tend to earn more trust in comparison to those who publish only a range, which is part of why Laser by Aleya lists its prices in full rather than behind a consultation. Anyone weighing the numbers above against their own routine can schedule a consultation to get a personalized estimate.

About Laser by Aleya

Laser by Aleya is an award-winning provider of professional New York laser and electrolysis hair removal services based in Great Neck. Founded by Aleya Bamdad, the clinic delivers personalized treatments supported by advanced laser technology and carefully selected beauty supplies.

From September, 24 briefs on MakerWorld will ask the makers to invent accessibility aids you can print and put in someone's hands

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bambu Lab, together with seven leading accessibility organizations that use 3D printing, today launched a global design challenge on MakerWorld, the world's largest community of makers who design, share, download, and print 3D models. From September through December 2026, 24 briefs from the seven partners will invite designers and 3D-printer users worldwide to create objects someone can pick up and actually use.

Bambu Lab will host the challenge on MakerWorld, its vibrant community of makers and free library of 3D models. Hardware stopped being the main barrier years ago, after Bambu Lab lowered the barrier to 3D printing with its highly accessible printers. MakerWorld has become the largest community of 3D makers. This is the first time MakerWorld is mobilizing its community of designers to work with people with disabilities on specific, everyday needs.

The program is built around concrete, everyday needs. Jessica Cox, founder of Rightfooted Foundation International, was born without arms and uses her feet for daily life. She can pull on her first sock with a bare foot. The second sock is the problem: once one foot is covered, she loses the friction she needs to get fabric over her heel. She can scoop her service dog's waste, then has no clean way to carry it without holding the bag under her chin. Fastening a bike helmet still means sitting on the floor and lining up two small buckle halves by feel, one foot planted for balance.

At the Emerging Tech Lab at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, similar everyday challenges help drive the identification, development, and fabrication of customized solutions. Working directly with people with disabilities and rehabilitation professionals, the ETL uses 3D printing and digital fabrication methods to create practical tools that address individual needs. For example, picking up an item from the floor can be difficult when a conventional reacher requires squeezing a handle to operate it. People who use wheelchairs may also have difficulty storing, accessing, and retrieving everyday items such as phones, wallets, purses, and keys. These everyday situations can inspire makers to create simple solutions that make a meaningful difference.

Other briefs stay in the kitchen, the bathroom, and the things people do for pleasure. Ayúdame3D is requesting a toothbrush that does not have to be pinched, a tool for tying a ponytail with one hand. E-Nable France challenges makers to develop a one-hand kitchen toolkit. Neil Squire Society's Makers Making Change is requesting a knitting-needle support for people who have had a stroke, a guitar pick that stays in place with limited grip, and a marker-cap aid a teacher can use alone. PrintLab is requesting a tabletop game that a child with cerebral palsy can play with friends, designed to look like a game rather than therapy equipment. MakeGood calls for a pickle-ball paddle holder for users with weakened hand-arm musculature who struggle to grip sports paddles and wish to play pickle-ball alongside friends.

Each of the seven partners contributed briefs based on work with real users.

"These are not hypothetical users," said Qianye, Creator Operation at MakerWorld. "Jessica already walks her dog. Someone in a ward at Rancho already drops something and has to ask a stranger to pick it up. The question for makers is very small and very specific: can you print the missing piece so that person does not have to ask?"

Many of the co-initiating organizations have long built structured pathways connecting creators with people with disabilities. What MakerWorld delivers is creativity at scale: it unlocks richer creative ideas from more diverse backgrounds and draws more skilled creators into assistive design. This makes more makers aware of how they can contribute toward good, deepens understanding of the barriers people with disabilities face, and fosters greater empathy across the community.

The MakerWorld community will have two months to submit. The accessibility organizations will then spend one month printing shortlisted models and testing them with the people named in the briefs. Some partners will deliver those prints to users. Feedback from that testing will inform the final results.

Winning files will be added to open libraries and distributed through volunteer networks that already deliver devices in more than 70 countries.

Each organization is responsible for a different part of the process.

- Ayúdame3D, headquartered in Spain, will promote the challenge in Spain and send winning devices to communities around the world including Africa. It has distributed more than 1000 free "trésdesis" arms in 70 countries since 2017.

- Emerging Tech Lab at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, based in the U.S., helps ensure designs reflect the lived experiences, interests, goals, and everyday environments of the people they are intended to support.

- e-NABLE France will take the challenge to French-speaking makers. Its 450-plus volunteers have already fitted more than 200 3D-printed hands.

- MakeGood, based in the U.S., advises on briefs rooted in real user research. Since 2021 it has made free, custom assistive devices, including the Toddler Mobility Trainer, a fully 3D-printed wheelchair for children.

- Makers Making Change, a Neil Squire Society program based in Canada, will promote the contest in Canada. Winning designs will be considered for its open-source assistive technology library for their network of volunteer makers to build for people with disabilities. It has delivered more than 30,000 devices with help from about 40,000 volunteers.

- PrintLab, based in the U.K., brings a human-centered design toolkit used in its assistive-technology challenge since 2020.

- Rightfooted Foundation International, based in the U.S., is bringing briefs from the limb-difference community, including work done with Jessica Cox and will help get finished models to the people who need them.

The success of the initiative will come down to ordinary moments: someone who once put a game aside because the pieces were too small sits down and plays; someone does her ponytail without help; someone puts on a second sock with ease.

If there are even a dozen moments like that by December, the challenge will have done what it set out to do.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As housing market conditions grow increasingly uncertain, homebuilders face a critical challenge: rising costs, fluctuating mortgage rates and hesitant buyers are making it harder to convert leads into closed sales.

With rising costs, shifting mortgage rates and cautious buyers, builders are facing more stalled transactions and questioning traditional lead-generation models that require upfront investment without guaranteed results.

BuildersUpdate.com is addressing this challenge with a new approach designed to align marketing costs directly with successful outcomes. Its "Pay Upon Performance" model allows builders to eliminate upfront marketing expenses and pay only a flat marketing fee when a home sale closes.

Through this model, builders gain exposure to a nationwide network of more than 868,000 licensed real estate agents who actively pre-qualify buyers before presenting opportunities. This helps builders connect with serious, qualified buyers rather than unverified leads.

Unlike traditional marketing platforms that charge monthly fees regardless of performance, BuildersUpdate.com provides broad visibility through a distribution network of 13,000+ websites, including placement in more than 1.2 million monthly newsletters, enhanced search prioritization and access to a patented electronic buyer registration system. The system helps confirm that leads are new to the builder while allowing builders to highlight current incentives and offerings.

Importantly, builders and agents are aligned in the transaction process: agents are incentivized to bring qualified buyers because they are compensated only when a deal closes. This reduces time spent on unproductive leads and increases the likelihood of successful transactions.

As one participating builder noted, "Why wouldn't I use this program? I'm already paying a referral fee to agents, but this platform puts my communities directly in front of them, without the burden of ongoing marketing costs for leads that don't convert."

Builders only pay the marketing fee when BuildersUpdate.com is the procuring cause of the sale. The fee currently starts at $1,000 per property sold at closing, reinforcing a results-driven approach.

In today's evolving housing market, BuildersUpdate.com offers a practical solution: pay for performance, not potential. This model represents a meaningful shift toward more efficient and accountable marketing.

About Builders Update

Builders Update connects builders with pre-qualified buyers and their agents, bringing them directly to sales centers. The company uses patented functionality and AI tools to help production builders, custom builders and condominium developers worldwide connect with the right buyers.

New compliance solution maps 800+ federal and state mandates to each organization's workforce, replacing hours of manual research with a tailored program built to help reduce risk and fines

COVINA, Calif., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- EasyLlama, an all-in-one compliance and training platform, announced the availability of Compliance Advisor, a new solution that helps HR and Compliance teams build a trusted, always-on compliance program tailored to exactly what training their organization is legally required to provide.

Compliance training requirements are fragmented, stacked across federal and state mandates, and include details that are easy to miss. Many organizations have a hard time managing this ever-changing landscape of rules and regulations and don't have in-house legal expertise. Compliance Advisor solves this problem.

"Every recommendation in Compliance Advisor traces back to a specific law, and our team reviews and monitors that database as requirements change," said Doug Johnston, General Counsel and Head of Compliance at EasyLlama. "It provides people with a compliance program they can trust and stand behind."

Admins fill in a short profile about their organization, covering industry, size, where employees work, and how the business operates. EasyLlama maps those answers against a curated and legally verified database of all federal and state mandates, which is continuously monitored as regulations change. The result is a tailored compliance program including the specific training that's mandated, the law behind each requirement, and exactly who on the team needs to complete it.

"Compliance shouldn't be something that's time-consuming and complicated for HR professionals," said Sam Devyver, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyLlama. "Compliance Advisor gives our customers something they've never had. A clear and defensible answer to 'what am I actually required to train on and who do I need to assign it to?' No need to interpret or track legal requirements, saving people time and money."

"Compliance Advisor is great for someone whose compliance or learning & development responsibilities aren't their sole job, which is the reality for many HR leaders. If a leader who owns compliance is juggling many other things, or if they're an HR team of one, this is an incredible tool," said Adam Juran, Strategic Talent Partner, Rivia Mind.

Compliance Advisor is built on top of the EasyLlama Course Library, which now includes 500+ courses that are legally vetted, engaging, and available on any device, helping ensure once a requirement is identified, organizations can act on it immediately.

Using the Suggested Learners functionality, admins can quickly and confidently assign the right course to the right people. Compliance Advisor replaces hours of manual research with a single source of truth that makes building and managing a compliance program easy.

FAQs

Is Compliance Advisor a substitute for legal advice?

No. Compliance Advisor is intended to help organizations understand their training obligations and is not a substitute for legal advice. Organizations should consult their own counsel for legal determination.

How does Compliance Advisor determine which training is required?

EasyLlama admins complete a short profile describing their organization. EasyLlama matches those details against a database of federal, state, and local training mandates that is reviewed by its legal team and updated as regulations change. It then generates a tailored compliance program with the list of courses that should be assigned to each employee.

What is Compliance Advisor?

Compliance Advisor is a compliance solution inside the EasyLlama platform that identifies specific compliance training an organization is required to provide, automates the management of the training, and monitors regulations and training completions.

Who can use Compliance Advisor?

Compliance Advisor is available to all EasyLlama customers, across all plans. It is made to serve small and medium-sized businesses ranging from 1 to 1,000 employees, and it can help businesses with more than 1,000 employees understand their compliance obligations.

How many courses are in the EasyLlama Course Library?

The EasyLlama Course Library includes more than 500 courses that are legally vetted, engaging, and available on any device, spanning topics like harassment prevention, workplace safety, data privacy, AI fundamentals, soft skills, and more.

How do I get started with Compliance Advisor?

Existing EasyLlama customers can access Compliance Advisor directly from their admin dashboard. Organizations that are not yet EasyLlama customers can request a demo at easyllama.com.

About EasyLlama

The more electric aircraft market is projected to expand steadily through 2031 as aircraft manufacturers increase the use of electrical systems to replace or reduce conventional hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical functions. Rising aircraft production, fleet modernization, higher electrical power requirements, and growing focus on fuel efficiency are increasing the adoption of generators, starter-generators, electric actuators, electric pumps, power electronics, and advanced power distribution systems.

The market is gaining momentum as commercial and military aircraft manufacturers seek to reduce aircraft weight, improve energy efficiency and lower maintenance requirements. Aircraft programs are increasingly incorporating electrically driven environmental control systems, flight control actuation, braking systems and accessory systems. At the same time, higher onboard electrical loads from avionics, cabin systems and mission equipment are increasing requirements for power generation, conversion, and distribution equipment.

By platform, fixed-wing aircraft is positioned to retain the largest market share during the forecast period.

Fixed-wing aircraft are expected to account for the largest share of the more electric aircraft market as commercial and military aircraft programs continue to incorporate higher levels of electrical content. Narrow-body and wide-body aircraft increasingly use advanced generators, electric pumps, electrical actuation, power conversion systems, and digitally controlled power distribution technologies. The large installed base of fixed-wing aircraft combined with strong aircraft order backlogs and production activity is expected to support recurring demand for electrical systems and components. New-generation aircraft are also being designed with greater electrical power capacity to support avionics, cabin loads, and aircraft systems that were traditionally powered through hydraulic or pneumatic architectures.

By end user, civil aviation is projected to be a prominent segment during the forecast period.

Civil aviation is expected to account for the dominant share of the more electric aircraft industry as airlines continue fleet renewal and aircraft manufacturers increase production of new-generation commercial platforms. Increasing passenger traffic, replacement of aging aircraft, and large commercial aircraft order backlogs are supporting demand for electrically intensive narrow-body, wide-body, and regional aircraft. Commercial aircraft manufacturers are increasing the use of electric actuation, electrically driven pumps, advanced environmental control systems, and higher-capacity power generation systems to improve fuel efficiency and reduce maintenance requirements. On the other hand, military aviation will remain an important market supported by fighter aircraft procurement, transport aircraft modernization, and increasing electrical power requirements for avionics, sensors, and mission systems.
