We’re sure many adults remember the fun of being a teenager came with many insecurities while growing up. This begs the question: “If laser hair removal can help adults conquer their insecurities and increase their confidence, could teenagers also benefit from laser hair removal?”
The short answer is “absolutely” – but continue reading on to find out some caveats.
While the general consensus of experts is that yes, if the procedure is performed by a professional, then laser hair removal is safe for teenagers. Remember that laser hair removal is technically a medical procedure! That is why in addition to having 25+ years of experience, a doctor is required to be on premises for you to be treated at Laser Center of Port Orange.
Laser hair removal is a very safe procedure for all, but it is important to be realistic about the results. Many adults need multiple treatments to reach their desired hair-free level. With modern technology, we can get very close to full removal but not quite 100%. But when it comes to teenagers, it is advised that the teen should be completely through puberty (and for females, should have gone through their first menstrual cycle). This is because hormones can affect hair growth in general and the more stable the hormones, the more permanent the results will be. Also, hormonal conditions can develop during these years, such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which can affect laser results as well.
