Preference on using the laser hair removal is completely dictated by self

It is safe to use laser hair removal procedures for the younger population. My advice to parents is that if their children become self aware of the problem and it causes them great distress then it is fine to use the laser machine. Other modalities may be tried first, given that the hair in that area may not yet be coarse, but if the problem continues it causes great distress, then there is no reason why the procedure may not be performed.

Laser Hair Removal for Bikini Area

Hello- thanks for your question. Laser hair removal/reduction in the bikini area is safe if done properly. The wavelength of the laser reaches the hair root, but does not affect the deeper vaginal tissue. I would recommend starting this process after puberty so the normal pubic hair pattern has had time to develop. Take care!
