Expert Dermatologist Explains.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a treatment that involves using a specific laser to target pigmentation and destroy hair follicles. This technique aims to completely eliminate the hair follicle so no hair is able to grow back after the treatment. The result is soft, smooth skin that has significantly less hair or no hair at all. 

How Does The GentleMax Pro® System Work?

The GentleMax Pro® is a dual wavelength laser platform that combines an efficient and powerful 755nm Alexandrite laser with a more gentle, yet equally powerful 1064nm Nd:YAG laser. 

This dual laser combination means the GentleMax Pro® boasts adaptive capabilities to better achieve your unique goals, as well as incredible speed and increased effectiveness. Its elevated performance makes this device easy for your provider to use, which helps ensure maximum comfort for you. Furthermore, with two lasers that can be changed, the GentleMax Pro® is safe for all skin tones and types. 

The GentleMax Pro® dual lasers target the pigmentation in hair follicles to fully destroy or significantly damage them. This prevents or slows down hair growth, resulting in soft, silky-smooth skin. 

Where Can The GentleMax Pro® Be Used On The Body?

The GentleMax Pro® can be used on almost any part of the body. The most common places we administer laser hair removal are the: 

Armpits   

Arms 

Legs 

Back 

Bikini Line 

Facial Areas (Upper Lip, Sideburns, etc.)
