Description

The GentleMax Pro hair removal procedure is a non-invasive treatment designed to effectively reduce unwanted hair using advanced laser technology. The process begins with a consultation where the practitioner assesses the patient's skin type, hair color, and thickness to determine the most suitable treatment settings. During the session, the patient is positioned comfortably, and protective eyewear is provided. The practitioner then applies a cooling gel to the target area, which helps to protect the skin and enhance comfort. The GentleMax Pro device, equipped with dual wavelengths (Alexandrite and Nd:YAG), delivers a concentrated beam of light that penetrates the hair follicle. The energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, effectively destroying the follicle while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. The treatment typically lasts between a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Patients may experience a mild snapping sensation during the procedure, but the built-in dynamic cooling device significantly minimizes discomfort. Post-treatment, patients might notice slight redness and swelling akin to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours. It's important to follow post-care instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and using soothing creams, to facilitate healing and prevent complications. For optimal results, multiple sessions are recommended since hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the actively growing phase. Over time, patients should experience a significant reduction in hair growth, leading to smoother and hair-free skin.
