How old do you have to be to get laser hair removal?

Getting laser hair removal treatment can be administered anytime, but to have it be effective, you need to have all your permanent hair follicles developed. Depending on what area you are getting hair removed, the permanent hair doesn't come in until puberty.

Laser hair removal treatment relies on an intense heat from a laser heating the hair and destroying the hair follicle, thus causing it to not grow any more hair. It usually takes several treatments every few years to keep all the hair away. The most effective treatments are on darker, thick hair, which are able to take in more heat. The bikini line and under arm hair are the two more common areas to get laser hair removal treatment.
