From which session can you feel the hair removal effect of GentleMax Pro Plus®?

With GentleMax Pro Plus®, some people notice hair shedding and reduction after just one session, but because hair has different growth cycles, the laser only affects hair roots in the active growth phase. Therefore, you typically notice a visible decrease in density after 3–4 sessions, and results may vary depending on hair thickness and the treated area.

Does GentleMax Pro Plus® hurt a lot? Is anesthesia necessary?

When the GentleMax Pro Plus® laser fires, you may feel a stinging sensation like a rubber band snap, but because the coolant is sprayed at the same time, most people undergo the treatment without anesthesia. For sensitive areas like the underarms or upper lip, or for those who are sensitive to pain, you can choose to use a numbing cream after consultation.

Can I wash my face and apply makeup right after GentleMax Pro Plus® treatment?

Right after GentleMax Pro Plus® treatment, you can gently wash your face with lukewarm water and apply basic skincare, so there are no major restrictions on daily life. However, redness and a burning sensation may persist for 2–3 days, so it is advisable to avoid hot water and strong irritation during that time.

If I get hair removal with GentleMax Pro Plus® once, will the hair never grow back?

The GentleMax Pro Plus® laser acts on hair roots that are in the active growth phase at the time of treatment, so after completing a series of sessions, the hair typically becomes finer and density significantly decreases. However, due to hormonal changes or individual constitution, some hair may regrow, and maintenance treatments at longer intervals may be recommended afterward.

How many sessions of GentleMax Pro Plus® do I need, and at what intervals?

GentleMax Pro Plus® is often performed at intervals of 2–4 weeks for the face and 4–6 weeks for the body, aligned with the hair growth cycle. Depending on the area and hair thickness, 5–10 sessions are generally recommended, and the interval and number of sessions may be adjusted based on the remaining hair condition as treatment progresses.

I have dark skin—can I get GentleMax Pro Plus® treatment?

GentleMax Pro Plus® uses the 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength, which has relatively low melanin absorption, so it can be applied to darker skin as well, and the cooling spray also protects the epidermis. However, if you have recently tanned or are taking medication that causes photosensitivity, a consultation before treatment is necessary.

Anti-aging Pigment Laser

What is GentleMax Pro Plus®?

GentleMax Pro Plus® is a laser that uses two wavelengths—755 nm alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG—along with a cooling spray. It is used for hair removal, pigmented lesions such as melasma and spots, and improving facial redness and telangiectasia.

02 Pigmentation
03 Redness

Mechanism

How GentleMax Pro Plus® works

GentleMax Pro Plus delivers two wavelengths—755 nm alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG—to the target depth. The 755 nm wavelength is highly absorbed by melanin, targeting hair roots and superficial pigmentation, while the 1064 nm wavelength penetrates deeper to act on thicker hair roots and blood vessels. The absorbed light is converted to heat, affecting only the target, while a simultaneously sprayed coolant protects the epidermis. As a result, you can expect hair reduction and improvement in spots and redness.
