I have pale skin and dark hair. I don't feel like my life is "hard" because I choose to shave my legs every day. I mean, I'm in the shower anyway, it's just part of the routine and takes maybe 2 minutes.

It depends on your hair color. My white, Irish brunette girl is the ideal laser hair candidate. Super pale skin and very dark hair. It has been life changing for her! My other daughter with light hair wouldn’t have much success with laser treatment.

I recently asked at my dermatologist's office for my DD (light skin and dark hair like her father), and they told me she had to be at least 18 for laser treatments.

16:51 and before you jump on me for saying I don’t have the money for my kid and I had all of that done, I had the laser before I had kids!

I wouldn’t, only because it’s a lot of money to spend and I don’t have that kind of money to spend on cosmetics for my teens.

But I’m a super hairy Italian and I offered to my daughter to have her upper lip done. She said no for now.

I’ve had my full face, underarms and area below and around my belly button done. The belly button area was the only thing that stayed permanent 15+ years later. My underarms are lighter but I went from never needing to shave to needing to once per week to every 2-3 days. My chin and sideburn areas grew back.

I had electrolysis as a teen on my upper lip and between my eyebrows. That was permanent.

Is it hormonal with age, the laser didn’t work the same or both? I don’t know.

Shave every other day? That tells me she is NOT hairy.

I’ll take my daughter when she’s 16. It’s been a life changer for me. I do think maintaining it with a session every few years is the norm. Still worth it though.
