A hair growth inhibition apparatus performs a hair growth inhibition process on skin by using light. The hair growth inhibition apparatus includes a sheet member capable of being closely attached to the skin, a temperature sensor that is disposed on the sheet member and detects a temperature of the skin in a region around the temperature sensor, and a light emitting element that is disposed on the sheet member at a location corresponding to a location of the temperature sensor and emits the light toward the skin in the region around the temperature sensor in accordance with a detection result obtained by the temperature sensor.
