Reduce Unwanted Facial and Body Hair
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and disable unwanted hair follicles at the source. The laser selectively heats pigment within the hair while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin, leading to smoother, longer-lasting results over time. Commonly treated areas include the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, chest, and back. With a series of treatments, laser hair removal can reduce ingrown hairs, irritation, and the need for constant shaving.

How Does GentleMax Pro Laser Hair Removal Work?
GentleMax Pro laser hair removal uses selective photothermolysis, a process that delivers concentrated light energy into the pigment within the hair follicle. The hair follicle absorbs the energy, which converts to heat and disrupts the structures responsible for future hair growth while preserving the surrounding skin. The system combines the Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths of laser to safely treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types.

FAQs
What Happens During Laser Hair Removal?
Your treatment area will first be cleansed and carefully prepared before protective eyewear is placed over your eyes. During the procedure, the GentleMax Pro handpiece delivers controlled laser pulses directly into the hair follicles while a built-in cryogen cooling system cools the skin milliseconds before each pulse for added comfort. You may feel a quick snapping sensation as the laser targets the hair. Sessions can last anywhere from a few minutes to about an hour.
What Is Recovery Like After Laser Hair Removal?
You may experience mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling around the treated hair follicles immediately after your session, similar to a light sunburn. These effects typically fade within a few hours to a couple of days. There is little to no downtime, so most patients return to normal activities right away. Over the following one to three weeks, treated hairs gradually shed from the skin. You should avoid excessive heat, sun exposure, and tanning while your skin heals.
What Results Can I Expect?
You may begin noticing treated hairs shedding within one to three weeks after your first session, with hair gradually becoming finer, lighter, and less dense. Because hair grows in cycles, most patients need a series of six to eight treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. Once your treatment series is complete, you can enjoy long-term hair reduction. Occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended to preserve your results over time.
