When is the right time for teens to start laser hair removal?
Dec 1, 2025
Laser hair removal has become increasingly popular among teens, especially as they become more self-aware and want long-term solutions for unwanted hair. At JPF Aesthetic Studios, we understand that parents want safe, informed guidance before making this decision. So—when is the right time for a teenager to start?
The Ideal Age Range
Most teens can safely start laser hair removal from around 16 years old, depending on individual maturity, skin type, and hormonal stability. Because hormonal changes during puberty can affect hair growth, younger teens may need more sessions or maintenance.
Safety Comes First
Our Alma Soprano Titanium technology is one of the safest laser devices on the market. It’s:
FDA-approved
Virtually painless thanks to advanced cooling
Suitable for all skin types, including darker tones
This makes the process much more comfortable and safe for younger skin.
Why Teens Choose Laser Hair Removal
Increased confidence
Relief from shaving irritation, bumps, and ingrown hairs
Long-term reduction in hair growth
Perfect for sports, swimming, modelling, dance, or everyday comfort
Parental Consent Is Required
At JPF Aesthetic Studios, we always require parental consent for clients under 18. We also recommend a consultation to assess the teen’s skin, hair type, and readiness for treatment.
The Bottom Line
Laser hair removal can be a fantastic option for teens—but timing matters. With the right device, professional guidance, and proper consent, starting around 16 and up offers the safest and most effective results.
If you’d like to book a consultation for your teen, we’re here to help you make the best, most informed choice.
