A common problem shared by men and women of all ages is unwanted hair. Practices like shaving, plucking, and waxing can become tiresome and, in many cases, uncomfortable. People with darker skin or curly hair may struggle with conditions such as ingrown hairs and razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae). The repeated trauma to hair follicles can lead to hyperpigmentation. When hair growth is reduced using gentle laser energy, these problems can be resolved, and you can rid yourself of the endless need to shave unwanted hair and damage sensitive skin.
The GentleMax Pro® system incorporates YAG laser and Alexandrite lasers. The dual lasers allow us to customize treatment for all skin types. During treatment sessions, controlled amounts of laser energy are delivered to the target area. Quickly, comfortably, and safely, this energy destroys hair in the follicles, as well as the follicles themselves with minimal effects on the surrounding skin.
During laser hair reduction treatment, the GentleMax Pro® delivers cool pulses along with laser energy. This creates a more comfortable experience. Most people who are treated with this system report feeling only mild warmth or tingling. We discuss ways to ensure comfort after laser hair reduction and how to protect the skin throughout the course of treatment with simple skin care tips.

What to expect
One of the benefits of laser hair reduction with the GentleMax Pro® is that fewer treatments may be needed to achieve the desired outcome. Every person is different and the number of treatments may vary. Several sessions are scheduled, allowing us to eliminate hair as it grows. Each session targets actively growing hair, not hair that is in the resting phase.During laser hair reduction treatment, the GentleMax Pro® delivers cool pulses along with laser energy.
