Laser hair removal, at my age?

Lilly-xxo · 03-10-2009, 07:12 PM

Hello!
OKay, well I'm very insecure about the hair on my upper lip you see, it's dark borwn (like my hair) and I really just want it gone. But, I'm only thirteen and i doubt that they even do laser hair removal on girls my age, but i wnted to know if maybe they might. And if not what should i do? Because i really hate it, i sometimes get made fun of about it too.
Please help!

I don't see why they wouldn't but I've never really done any kind of research on the subject.

You might try tweezers and just pull out the hairs (if you haven't already) it's a lot cheaper. It does "smart" at first but the more you do it you get used to it.

Getting your facial hair waxed at a salon is pretty reasonable, and yes a bit painful, but not as bad as waxing some other areas as the hair is usually quite fine. That could be my recommendation. So next time you get a hair cut, ask about waxing services that might be offered there.

Don't worry hun... I remember going through the same exact thing in middle school. Boys would laugh at my "moustache" and call me a guy or "bearded lady" or some other terrible things, because I had very dark hair on my upper lip. I found that bleach helped me a lot. Bleack is an alternative if waxing is too painful, and it's nor harmful if you don't use it too frequently. It lasts for several weeks depending on the brand, there are ones made especially for facial hair which are a little more gentle than the ones for legs or arms. I haven't looked into it, but apparently there are also a number of home recipes using things like lemon juice, if you prefer more of a naturalist approach to bleach :]

I stopped bleaching quite a hwile ago, as I grew my hair got lighter on it's own. It must have something to do with hormones

Hi Lilly, Similar to the responses already, over the counter hair removal creams and waxing at a salon are all cost effective options that work but are temporary. If you're looking for permanent hair reduction you should consider laser hair removal. Depending on the state you live in, this procedure may by preformed by a doctor or technician. At my medi spa, our doctor has the parent sign a consent form when treating minors. Hope this helps!

All laser hair removal clinics require a parent or legal guardian's consent to perform the procedure on a child under 18 years of age.
