Can a kid have IPL hair removal ?

Before jumping the gun, I would speak to a dedicated laser specialist about the causes of the premature hair growth. Our office specializes in hair removal and we take a more conservative approach. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

anyone can get hair removal if they have parental consent.  But the cause of her hair growth at a young age should be evaluated by an internal exam just to rule out any hormonal issues and ensure this is truly just genetic.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Laser hair removal can be done on patients under 18, but I advise my patients to wait until after puberty, as the hormonal changes usually cause hair to regrow. In a child as young as 7, I would recommend seeing her pediatrician to make sure the hair growth is normal and not caused by a hormone imbalance. On another note, most laser procedures are fairly uncomfortable, bordering on painful, so I avoid performing laser procedures on children unless they are medically necessary.
