Is laser hair removal safe in 13 yr old girl?
"Answer:
Using TRIP and Medline, we were unable to find clinical evidence or guidelines specific to laser hair removal for this age group (or any other age group). We found an abstract entitled “Photo-epilation: guidelines for care from the European Society for Laser Dermatology (ESLD)” (1) which makes no reference to age, and access to the full text is by subscription only.
On Medline we found a primary article where such treatment had taken place (2). In general, eMedicine has an article on laser hair removal which looks at adverse effects, and suggests the long term effects are not known (3).
Establishments that carry out laser hair removal privately are registered by the Healthcare Commission, who produces inspectorate reports. Those clinics with reports available on the Healthcare Commission website appear not to provide services to people under the age of sixteen (4)."
