Teenagers
Teenagers are an ideal age to undergo laser hair removal treatments, provided they understand that it will require multiple sessions and is permanent. Teens also tend to be mature enough to give written consent and commit to an appointment schedule; it is also essential that they recognize this procedure can cause discomfort especially in sensitive areas.
Teenagers are generally adept at following pre and post-treatment instructions, such as limiting sun exposure. Furthermore, they have an understanding of cost of treatments; therefore it would be prudent for teenagers to schedule a consultation appointment with an aesthetician before beginning this journey to ensure they have all of their questions answered before commencing treatment.
While laser hair removal may be safe for teens, it is recommended they wait until they turn 18 years old before having it done. This is due to rapid-changing hormone levels in teens that can have an impact on how hair follicles grow back or fall out over time; and because it is impossible to know exactly how many sessions will be necessary.
Laser hair removal works only on people with dark hair and light skin, since its light beams absorb melanin in both the follicle and shaft of hair, thus blocking enough melanin absorption for maximum effectiveness. As a result, this method does not work on blonde, gray, or strawberry-blonde locks due to lack of melanin to absorb its light beams.
As part of their education on laser hair removal treatments, teenagers should also understand that there may be risks of burns despite proper execution. While burns are rare, they can occur if laser light remains on skin too long without cooling measures being provided; typically this fades within months but could be more serious if applied directly on face or legs.
Teenagers seeking laser hair removal treatments should ensure their treatments are performed by trained and experienced professionals in order to avoid laser burns. Also be aware that laser treatments may cause redness and swelling similar to mild sunburn; should this persist after receiving their treatments they should contact a healthcare provider immediately.
