Discomfort, shy teenagers and laser hair removal

Puberty brings many challenges for girls. When dealing with appearance issues, young beauties often face unwanted hair. Many feel insecure at school or during workouts because of this. To achieve smooth skin, they start using razors, wax strips, depilatory cream, and epilators on their own.

Complexes complicate a teenager’s life, and body hair is one of them

From our experience, we see that few girls discuss this issue with their mothers. However, we hint that mothers can take the initiative, talk about this topic, and prevent “suffering.”
You can find the right words and approach to your child on your own. We will guide you on what to pay attention to when young ladies decide to remove hair in different ways (including a completely painless one).

Shaving: what to remember?

The main drawback of this hair removal method is irritation and ingrown hairs. However, since this method is the most accessible and quickest, girls often start with it.
If there are no side effects after the procedure and this method suits the girl, just make sure that the razor is personal and not, for example, her father’s.

The second recommendation for maintaining healthy skin is not to shave hair on dry skin (use cream or shaving gel) and to apply moisturizing and soothing products after the procedure.

Sugaring and waxing

If you remove hair using wax or sugar paste, you can take your daughter with you to a session after discussing it beforehand.
She can observe and try it out, learning how comfortable she feels “enduring” the procedure. Or, conversely, she might realize that her pain threshold is low, and she isn’t ready for such trials, even for “peachy” skin.

The advantage of these methods is that they need to be repeated less frequently than shaving—every 2-4 weeks, depending on hair growth speed. The downside of sugaring and waxing is the pain during the procedure, which many are unwilling to endure.

Hair removal with depilatory cream

If the girl doesn’t want to go to a salon, and shaving causes discomfort and irritation, she can try using a depilatory cream.
The advantage of the cream over shaving is that the hair’s edge isn’t sharp, and there won’t be any ingrown hairs. This method is available at any time in the comfort of home.

However, the downside is that it needs to be done as often as shaving.

Additionally, the components in the cream can cause an allergic reaction.

Therefore, before applying it to large areas (especially sensitive ones like the bikini area), be sure to test it on a small patch of skin.

Laser hair removal: at what age and in which cases?

While a teenager’s hormonal background is still forming—on average, until the age of 18—we do not recommend undergoing the procedure. The reason is that the effectiveness of the laser decreases.
However, in some cases, when the genetically determined amount of hair is large, girls may feel embarrassed to change clothes for physical education, dance, or feel uncomfortable at the beach. During adolescence, testosterone levels may also be elevated, which influences hair growth. As a result, self-consciousness often leads to complexes.

Under these circumstances, laser hair removal can be started at the age of 16.

IMPORTANT! In our salon, the procedure is strictly performed with the consent of an adult. The mother’s presence in the room is not required. She can sign a written consent and wait in the hall.

We always list contraindications to the procedure. We also check whether the girl is undergoing any treatment that could affect the effectiveness of the course.

Why should you undergo the procedure at LaserVille?

In our network of salons, we use certified laser equipment that meets all standards in Ukraine.
The Motus AX device removes hair completely painlessly thanks to its built-in cooling tip.

The hair removal process is very fast due to the dynamic motion—constant movement. It takes just 15-20 seconds to treat a 10×10 cm area.

The handpiece glides quickly over the gel without heating the skin and surrounding hair tissue. The laser beam strictly targets the pigment, gradually destroying the hair follicle.

Ingrown hairs are excluded during epilation, and with each subsequent procedure, the hair becomes thinner, and the amount decreases. Although with an unstable hormonal background, hair may reappear.

However, by following the schedule set by the hair removal specialist and adhering to post-procedure recommendations, teenagers still notice a reduction in hair quantity.

As a result, girls feel comfortable in open swimsuits and sheer dance costumes. Their confidence and self-esteem are at a higher level.
