What is the price of laser hair removal for the chest and back?

1. Chest, back, shoulders: why do these areas cost more?

The torso and back are among the largest areas of the body .
The surface area is large, the hair is often dense and hormone-dependent, especially in men.

Result :

• the sessions are a little longer;

• It generally requires more sessions than for underarms or the bikini line;

• The price per session is higher than for smaller areas.

SSSKIN articles dedicated to laser hair removal for men explain that it often takes 6 to 8 sessions for large areas (back, chest, legs), with sessions lasting from 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the area.

2. The price of laser hair removal on the back at SSSKIN

The official SSSKIN laser hair removal price list lists the following prices for the back:

• Neck: CHF 104 per session (CHF 88 in a 5-session package, CHF 68 in Premium)

• Upper back: CHF 209 per session (CHF 177, then CHF 149 for Premium)

• Lower back: CHF 209 per session (CHF 177, then CHF 149 for Premium)

• Full back: CHF 360 per session (CHF 312, then CHF 279 for Premium)

In practice, for a full back , most patients will need a protocol of 6 to 8 sessions, sometimes more depending on hair growth and hormones.

This gives you a general idea:

• With the unit price (360 CHF) , 6 sessions cost approximately 2,160 CHF .

• By using the 5-session packs or Premium packages , the price per session decreases and the overall cost of treatment is significantly reduced.

At SSSKIN, the back can also be treated in sections (neck, upper back, lower back) if the hair growth is uneven. This allows you to tailor the budget to your specific needs rather than paying for a full back treatment upfront if it's not necessary.

3. And for the torso: what budget should be planned?

In the “Torso and Chest” section of the SSSKIN pricing page, several sub-zones are clearly displayed:

• Areolas: 41 CHF per session (35 CHF, then 30 CHF)

• Abdominal line: 41 CHF per session

• Neck: 104 CHF per session

• Abdomen / stomach: 188 CHF per session (160 CHF, then 130 CHF)

We can see here that the abdomen is already a “medium to large” area with a higher price than smaller areas.

The entire torso (chest + possibly abdomen) is offered as a separate area in the subscription offers “10 sessions – 3 areas of your choice”, where “Torso” is one of the selectable areas along with the entire back, abdomen, shoulders, etc.

The exact price of a full torso can:

• vary depending on the area to be treated (simple thorax or torso + abdomen);

• be included in a package offer (e.g. 10 sessions on 3 areas with -50%).

To get an accurate price for your torso (with or without abdomen), the most reliable method remains:

• to consult the Our Prices page, updated in real time;

• or to request a personalized quote during the free consultation , included in the laser hair removal process.

4. Is SSSKIN expensive or in line with the Swiss market average?

Compared to other Swiss clinics specializing in laser hair removal, SSSKIN's prices are average :

• For example, a Geneva clinic advertises a full back for men at 509 CHF and a torso around 239–470 CHF depending on the combination with the abdomen.

• Another facility in Switzerland advertises a full back at 400 CHF and a torso at 320 CHF per session, excluding promotions.

At SSSKIN, a full back at 360 CHF per session (with discounts in packs of 5 sessions and Premium) therefore remains competitive against the Swiss market, especially if we take into account the regular promotions and offers such as “10 sessions – 3 areas of your choice”.

5. How many sessions are needed for the torso and back?

Large areas like the chest and back require more sessions than small areas (armpits, bikini line, upper lip):

• SSSKIN content generally mentions 6 to 8 sessions for the male body, with sessions of 30 to 60 minutes for the back, torso or legs.

• Other specialist clinics mention 8 to 10 sessions for a full back, especially when the hair is dense or very hormone-dependent.

• Major learned societies such as the American Academy of Dermatology explain that it often takes 6 or more sessions for a lasting reduction in hair growth, with intervals of 4 to 8 weeks between each session.

In summary:

• Torso : often 6–8, sometimes up to 8–10 sessions.

• Back : often 6–8, sometimes 8–10 sessions depending on hair density.

Your SSSKIN practitioner will give you a personalized treatment plan after seeing your skin and hair during a consultation.

6. What is the total for torso + back?

Each case is different, but we can give a general idea of ​​the cost for a patient wishing to have torso and back treated at SSSKIN:

1. Full back

   • 360 CHF per session (312 CHF or 279 CHF in a package).

2. Torso / abdomen

   • Abdomen/stomach only: 188 CHF per session (160 CHF, then 130 CHF in a pack/package).

   • Full torso: price close to the large body areas, included in the “3 zones” offers (to be confirmed in the quote).

By combining torso + back over 6 to 8 sessions , the total budget is generally in the range of a few thousand CHF spread over several months.

It's an investment, but it's comparable to or less than:

• years of waxing at a salon;

• the regular purchase of razors, depilatory cream, post-shave care products;

As an SSSKIN article on the cost of laser hair removal points out, sessions may seem more expensive individually (€50 to €300 depending on the area), but in the long term, laser often becomes more cost-effective and more comfortable than classic hair removal repeated every month.

7. Factors influencing the price: not just the area

The price of your laser hair removal for your chest/back does not depend solely on the price list:

• Area to be treated : partial torso, upper back only, full back, torso + abdomen, shoulders included…

• Hair density and color : the denser and darker the hair, the more sessions will be needed, but also the easier it is for the laser to capture.

• Skin type : at SSSKIN, the 3-wavelength diode laser allows for the treatment of light, matte and black skin with adapted settings, which affects the overall protocol.

• Objective : some want a reduction (less hair, finer), others want an almost complete disappearance.

Two people with a "hairy" back will not necessarily have the same number of sessions or the same final cost, which justifies the importance of the free consultation to obtain a realistic quote.

8. Why choose SSSKIN for the torso and back?

At SSSKIN, laser hair removal is based on:

• a three-wavelength diode laser (755, 808 and 1064 nm), capable of treating all phototypes and very deep hairs such as those on the back and torso;

• an advanced cooling system to limit pain and the risk of burns;

• protocols designed specifically for large areas in humans, such as the back, torso, legs or shoulders.

You can explore our Diode Laser Hair Removal Technology page to understand how the laser works, why it is suitable for dark skin, and how it differs from pulsed light.

And for the few isolated hairs that resist or very precise small areas (e.g. a few hairs in the middle of the torso or around a scar), electrolysis technology can complement the laser for a very targeted finish.

9. How to optimize your budget for laser hair removal on your chest/back?

Some tips for paying less in the long term :

• Take advantage of the packages : SSSKIN's "5 sessions" and "Premium Packages" prices significantly reduce the cost per session.

• Grouping areas into a multi-zone offer (torso + back + armpits for example), especially when promotions like “-50% on 10 sessions, 3 zones” are available.

• Follow the protocol (spacing of sessions, skin preparation) to avoid wasting ineffective sessions. Organizations like the American Academy of Dermatology and the Mayo Clinic emphasize the importance of respecting the intervals and the practitioner's instructions to maximize results.
