Half legs or full legs: which should you choose?

The price difference is real, and so is the difference in result. Here is how to decide based on your hair pattern, your budget and what actually bothers you.

Legs are the largest area we treat, and the one where the choice of package has the biggest impact on the bill. The right decision does not depend on budget alone: it depends above all on how your hair is distributed.

What each package covers

  • Half legs — €145: from the knee to the ankles. The most visible part, and the one that grows back fastest.
  • Full legs — €278, feet included: from thighs to toes, all treated in one session.
  • Thighs alone — €156: from the groin to the knee, for those where only that part is a problem.

One piece of arithmetic, since nobody does it spontaneously: half legs (€145) plus thighs (€156) comes to €301, more than full legs at €278. If you think you will treat both anyway, take the full package straight away.

The question to ask yourself

Look at your legs and ask where the hair that bothers you actually is.

For many people, hair is markedly denser and darker below the knee, and limited to light down on the thighs. In that case half legs are perfectly sufficient: treating thighs covered in light down costs €156 for a result that is bound to be partial, since the laser needs melanin to work.

Conversely, if your thighs are as thick as your calves, do not cut the area in two: the line at the knee always ends up showing, and you will come back anyway.

Three concrete cases

“I shave my calves twice a week, never my thighs”

Half legs. The most common case and the best result-to-price ratio. You can always add thighs later.

“I shave everything, and it grows back everywhere”

Full legs. Feet and toes are included, which avoids the forgotten strip that spoils the result.

“It is mainly my thighs that bother me”

Rarer, but it happens — particularly when hair shows in shorts or a swimsuit. Thighs alone at €156 answer exactly that need.

What to know about legs

It is a large surface, so a long session: 30 to 50 minutes for full legs. In return, the sensation is well tolerated — the skin is thicker than on the bikini or underarms.

Count on 6 to 8 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Leg hair being often dark and well anchored, the response is generally very satisfying.

Two practical points:

  • No sun or self-tanner 2 to 4 weeks beforehand. Legs being uncovered much of the year, this is the area where the calendar matters most — hence the interest of starting in winter.
  • Moisturise after the session. A large treated surface responds better on supple skin.

And if you get it wrong?

It does not matter: an area can always be added mid-protocol. What cannot be undone is the reverse — a treated hair does not come back. When in doubt, start smaller.

At the assessment, which is free, we look at how your hair is actually distributed and tell you frankly whether thighs are worth it in your case. We regularly recommend the cheaper option.
