My daughter aged 3 years has tuft hair at cervical region above the hip region by birth. After consultation with the Doctor, scanning has been done and the result is normal. Now the thing is the tuft hair should be removed permanently, since since she is 3 years, laser treatment is apt for her or not?

Hello, there is no contraindications for laser in kids. But as such rarely we get cases for hair removal in kids. So the laser settings and all needs to be individualized to protect the child skin. So needs a someone with experience. So my suggestion would be if there is no hurry wait till at least 10 years when anyone can perform it safely.
