Laser hair removal has no strict age restrictions; however, it is generally recommended that individuals under the age of 18 avoid the procedure. Since minors are still undergoing physical development, cosmetic treatments such as laser hair removal may not be suitable and could potentially interfere with normal pubertal development. For safety reasons, it is advisable for this population to wait until adulthood before undergoing the treatment.
