Laser hair removal (LHR) has become the gold standard in hair reduction, and it has also become popular with teenagers. There are a few things to consider when your teen comes to you wanting to try it.
It’s not like adding their Starbucks order to yours — it’s a little more complex.
So, let’s learn about the best teenage laser hair removal treatments in Virginia.
Best Teenage Laser Hair Removal Treatments in Virginia: What Parents Need to Know
You should start by checking on the age limitations your medspa requires. Most will not offer it to teenagers younger than 14, and Brazilian laser hair removal won’t be allowed under 18.
So what are the reasons why teenagers can’t just walk in and make an appointment?
- Growth and development: Believe it or not, hair growth is not fully matured while in the teenage years. LHR is not as effective when hair follicles have matured.
- Cost: As laser hair removal is pricier than waxing or buying razors, you want to be sure that treatment fits into the budget.
- Discomfort factor: While it is a relatively painless treatment, we want to ensure that your teen knows what to expect and is ready for the discomfort during and is able to manage the after care required.
- Scheduling: While adults can jump in during a lunch break for a quick session, the lives of teenagers are way busier. To ensure that sessions are attended and booked four to six weeks between each treatment, adult lives are a tad easier to schedule.
- Commitment required: When you make your first appointment, your teen should know that multiple sessions are needed for the full results. This is not a one-and-done procedure.
While this is not a complete guide for parents, a consultation is the perfect time to get all the info you need.
