Non-ablative non-fractional laser treatment is an expensive scar treatment. The cost of non-ablative non-fractional laser treatment varies widely, but on average you can expect about $1,445 per session. While it is more expensive than some other scar repair procedures, the cost must be weighed against its safety and efficacy.
Non-ablative non-fractional laser treatment is considered to be a cosmetic procedure, so your health insurance is unlikely to cover the cost. Check your insurance coverage before scheduling a treatment.
The total cost depends on the:
- Type of laser: The cost of laser treatment may depend on the laser subtype doctor uses. In general, non-ablative non-fractional laser treatments are more expensive than non-ablative fractional lasers.
- Number of treatments: Multiple (3-5) treatments with non-ablative non-fractional lasers are usually necessary to achieve the desired results. Since most doctors charge per treatment, the more treatments, the higher the costs will be.
- Size of skin area to be treated: The larger the area of skin that will be treated, the higher the price is likely to be. The table below shows the estimated total cost of treating the entire face with a non-ablate non-fractional laser.
| Average cost per session | $1,445 |
| Typical number of sessions needed | 3-5 |
| Average total cost | $4,335 – $7,225 |
- Geographic location of medical facility: Non-ablative non-fractional laser treatment is more expensive in some cities and countries than in others.
- Physician’s experience: Doctors who have more experience may charge a higher fee. With all non-ablative lasers, it is important to select a highly experienced doctor for your treatment.
- Recurrence of scars: Raised and keloid scars may potentially improve, but they are well known to sometimes regrow, requiring a new round of treatments. This will drive up the costs.
If you decide to undergo non-ablative non-fractional laser treatment, ask multiple doctors for their price estimates before scheduling a treatment.
