ELECTROLYSIS
Permanent Hair Removal
for Teens and Adolescents
The adolescent years are among the most exciting and challenging times in a person's life. A teenager's future holds a lifetime of changes that profoundly transform both body and mind.
As teens are coming into their own, physical changes such as unsightly hair can negatively impact body image and self-esteem. For teenage girls, it could be the growth of superfluous hair on the side of the face. For teenage boys, it may be the emergence of thick, bulky eyebrows. Some young people feel too embarrassed to speak about their hair concerns, while others go to a parent for advice.
If you're a teen or the parent of a teen, you can rest assured that there is a permanent solution for removing excess hair safely, comfortably and conveniently - electrolysis.
FAQ
Common Questions About Electrolysis From Teenagers
WHAT IS THE YOUNGEST AGE FOR ELECTROLOGY TREATMENTS?
The earliest age for treatment depends upon the motivation of the young person. Girls as young as 12 seek treatments to remove hair on their upper lip. Teens and even pre-teens of both genders receive treatments to define or separate eyebrows.
CAN YOUNG PEOPLE TOLERATE THE TREATMENTS?
Yes, new techniques, equipment, and topical anesthetics help reduce the sensation of electrology treatments. A tolerance for the treatments will also come with maturity. If the young person decides not to have treatments, we will discuss options to hide the hair until he or she is less sensitive.
WHAT AREAS DO TEENS HAVE TREATED?
Teen and pre-teen girls will get treatments on their upper lip, chin and sides of face. Young women and men will also have their eyebrows defined or separated, as well as hairline, neckline and body areas treated.
WHY DO YOUNG GIRLS GROW HAIR ON THEIR UPPER LIP?
Genetics, hormones, and medications can cause hair growth at any age. Most people never learn the cause of their excess hair growth and accept the fact that electrology treatments are the solution to this world wide problem.
