Laser Hair Removal FAQ
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target pigment (melanin) within the hair follicle. The energy creates heat that damages the follicle and reduces its ability to produce new hair. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, we approach laser hair removal as a medical treatment rather than a beauty procedure. Suitability depends on factors including your skin type, hair colour, and individual goals, which are assessed during a consultation.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal works by delivering controlled light energy into the hair follicle, where it is absorbed by melanin. This process damages the follicle during its active growth phase, which is why multiple treatments are needed. Hair grows in cycles, and not every follicle is active at the same time. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, treatment settings are carefully selected based on your skin and hair characteristics to support safe, effective permanent hair reduction.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients require around 6 to 8 laser hair removal sessions, although the exact number varies depending on the treatment area, hair thickness, hormones, skin type, and individual response. Some areas may respond faster than others. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, we create a personalised treatment plan following consultation, explaining what you can realistically expect. The aim is permanent hair reduction, not guaranteed removal of every hair permanently.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most people describe laser hair removal as a quick snapping or warming sensation rather than significant pain. Comfort levels vary depending on the treatment area and individual sensitivity. Modern laser systems often include cooling technology to help protect the skin and improve comfort. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, patient safety and comfort are central to every treatment, and we provide guidance on preparation and aftercare to support healthy skin.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction, meaning treated hairs are significantly reduced and any regrowth is often finer and lighter. It is not the same as guaranteed permanent hair removal, as factors such as hormones, genetics, and the hair growth cycle influence results. From a longevity medicine perspective, understanding your individual biology matters. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, we focus on realistic expectations and personalised treatment plans rather than promises.
