FAQs

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to remove unwanted hair. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles, damaging them and inhibiting future hair growth.

This machine eliminates the need for pre-skin gel application. It incorporates a built-in cryogen cooling system that cools the skin with a cold air spray while the laser is in operation, resulting in a virtually painless experience.

To put it in perspective, the sensation can be likened to the quick snap of a rubber band against the skin. Sensitivity levels may differ depending on the treated area. However, our system allows for personalized settings to ensure your utmost comfort.

The Gentlemax Pro is equipped to effectively treat all skin types by utilizing both Alex and Nd:YAG wavelengths. The incorporation of a cryogen burst during treatment serves to cool the epidermis, thus ensuring the safety of the skin during the procedure.

The number of sessions needed varies from person to person and depends on factors like hair color, skin type, and the area being treated, but generally, it necessitates around 4 to 6 sessions. Additional sessions may be necessary based on individual hair growth patterns and needs.

• Sun Protection: Minimize sun exposure and steer clear of tanning beds for a few weeks leading up to your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive during the treatment.

• Hair Removal: Do not wax or pluck the area that is going to be treated. Instead, shave the area the day before or on the day of your session. Shaving ensures that the laser energy is focused on the hair follicles beneath the skin's surface.

• Skin Products: On the day of your session, avoid applying any moisturizer, deodorant, makeup, or other products to the skin in the treatment area. This will help the laser function optimally during the procedure.

By following these preparation guidelines, you can enhance the effectiveness and safety of your laser hair removal session.

To ensure optimal post-treatment care, kindly follow these guidelines:

• Daily Moisturizing: Apply a moisturizer to the treated area for three to four days after your session. This practice will help reduce irritation and lower the chances of developing folliculitis.

• Gentle Treatment: Avoid activities such as bathing in hot water (bath or hot tub), swimming, and using steam rooms or saunas for at least three days. Instead, opt for short, cool or lukewarm showers. Do not scrub the area. After showering, gently pat the area dry with your towel, avoiding vigorous rubbing.

• Sun Protection: Steer clear of sun exposure and tanning beds. When going outside, wear sunscreen with an SPF of 45 or higher to safeguard your skin.

• Avoid Irritants: For at least one week following your treatment, refrain from using astringents, toners, Retin-A (or other prescription retinoids or OTC retinols), harsh soaps, medicated washes, scrubs, peels, and other exfoliating products.

• Hairs in Transition: Do not attempt to scrub or pick at the hairs that are in the process of falling out. Allow them to naturally shed, which typically occurs over the next five to 15 days.

By adhering to these aftercare recommendations, you can help maintain the health and appearance of your skin post-treatment.
