GentleMax Pro Permanent Hair Removal

Laser hair removal has a 'semi-permanent' effect as it destroys hair follicles to inhibit regrowth. Repeated treatments significantly reduce the amount and thickness of hair, maintaining a nearly hair-free state for a long time. However, a small amount of hair may regrow due to individual hormonal changes.

Hair goes through growth, transitional, and resting phases, and laser hair removal is only effective on hair in the growth phase. Therefore, we typically recommend 5 or more sessions at 4-6 week intervals. The required number of sessions may vary depending on the individual's hair condition and the treatment area.

Pain varies by individual and treatment area but is often described as a 'slight sting' or 'like a rubber band snap.' The pain may be more noticeable where hair is thicker and denser. Most procedures can be done without anesthesia, and cooling devices can be used to alleviate discomfort if needed.

Yes, you can immediately return to daily activities such as washing your face, showering, and applying makeup. The treated area may be temporarily red or slightly swollen, but this usually subsides naturally within a few hours. However, it is best to avoid activities that generate heat on the skin, such as strenuous exercise or saunas, on the day of the procedure.

Yes, you must shave the area to be treated with a razor 1-2 days before your appointment. If the hair is long, the laser energy can scatter on the skin's surface, reducing the effectiveness and increasing the risk of burns. However, you must avoid waxing or tweezing, as this removes the hair root.

Laser hair removal is a relatively safe procedure, but temporary redness, itching, or slight swelling around the hair follicles may occur afterward. These symptoms usually improve within a few days. In rare cases, folliculitis or pigment changes can occur, but the risk of side effects can be minimized by receiving treatment from experienced medical staff and following aftercare instructions.
