Prices vary widely from market to market, so you still might want to check around now to get an idea on price just for your chin area. Tell the places to let you know when they are running any specials. In one treatment can make significant difference in the density of the hair.
In my experience, doctor's offices are less expensive than 'laser spas'. Where I go now, in Raleigh, NC... to have the chin done is $75. But in Charleston, SC (where my technicial used to work), the chin was $150. So shop around...
If you travel at all for work, check the prices in the cities you visit...if they're a lot cheaper, have the work done there (or tell them to alert you to any specials)

Do you strength train? That can have a profound impact on your androgens, and in some cases help with hair growth, when combined with things that other cysters have tried like spearment tea and/or ground flaxseed.
Some of what you're seeing in the dark spots is collagen, and some is hair trapped underneath the skin. Literally the only thing that has worked for me to fade them is an Rx cream that combines a lightener and Retin-a. I only had to use it for 2 weeks, and the spots were gone.
