Effective Hair Removal with the GentleMax Pro Laser!
January 13th, 2021
What is the GentleMax Pro?
The GentleMax Pro is a first-class laser that uses a combination of 2 powerful lasers to remove unwanted hair: the Alexandrite and the YAG. This laser provides patients with a more comfortable hair removal experience. It’s non-invasive because it only targets and heats the areas that need treatment. GentleMax successfully destroys the hair follicle, without affecting the surrounding skin.
Versatility
Fun fact – Along with hair removal, the GentleMax Pro treats the skin in a variety of other ways:
- Tightens and tones skin on areas including the abdomen, knees, arms
- Improves the look of facial and spider veins and broken capillaries
- Increases the production of collagen
- Improves the look of cellulite
- Clears rosacea and redness in the face or chest
- Lightens brown spots/hyperpigmentation
- Corrects and rejuvenates areas with sun damage
Preparing for Treatment
To achieve the best results, make sure you take the right steps to prepare for the treatment. Ensure that you stay away from sunlight to avoid possible hyperpigmentation in the area being treated. For this reason, many clients choose to begin the process in the fall. Shave the area so that the laser has a better chance to successfully target the hair follicle below the skin. Avoid waxing, tweezing or plucking prior to the treatment – these techniques will take away from the effectiveness of the laser. If there’s a specific event you want this done for, try scheduling your first session at least 10 months earlier. Be sure to purchase sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher so you can be ready post-treatment.
The Treatment
This treatment is safe and applicable to all skin types. With the GentleMax Pro, you can avoid excessive downtime and recovery time. Using the unique dual-laser system will ensure that growth from the hair follicles will disable. During the treatment, you can expect minimal to no discomfort. This is in fact the most comfortable laser used for hair removal because of the lasers unique cooling effect that occurs during the procedure.
Post-Treatment
Post-treatment, stay away from the sun for approximately 1-2 weeks. The only side effects that you may experience are warm skin, with slight irritation and sensitivity. Avoid other procedures such as microdermabrasion or exfoliation and stay away from harsh skin products. Approximately 4-6 weeks after the first treatment, you should expect some hair growth. During this time, shave the hair and remember to avoid any other method of hair removal.
How Many Sessions
The amount of treatments varies depending on the client’s hair and the area of the skin being treated. Generally, 6-8 sessions are necessary and will take place approximately 6 weeks apart. Typically, the results will be permanent. However, depending on the hair colour and its density, you may want to consider completing an annual session to keep-up with potential re-growth.
