Laser treatments will not be performed on tanned skin. There are risks involved with Laser and sun exposure.
What do GentleMax Pro Laser treatments feel like?
As the name implies, the GentleMax Pro Laser in an innovative and gentle treatment that utilizes a patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), soothing the upper layers of the skin with a blast of cryogen the instant before the laser. Some patients may experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation.
How many treatments will I need?
Most areas require 6 treatments. When removing hair, it should be noted that GentleMaxPro Laser treatments work by disabling the hair in its active growth phase. Since some hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments are often necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area.
What happens after the treatment?
Immediately following your GentleMax Pro Laser treatment, the area may appear slightly red and swollen. Three to seven days after treatment, hair begins to shed as a result of your treatment. This may look like re-growth of hair, but is actually and exfoliation process.
Do not wax, pluck, or bleach your hair at anytime while receiving laser treatments. Shaving is permissible.
Are there any restrictions on my activity after treatment?
Following laser hair removal, a patient can return to normal activities right away, but some redness may occur. The use of sunscreen SPF 30 is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun.
What are the possible side effects?
Although patients experience few side effects, the most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to sunburn. These effects typically last for several hours or less. In rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
Why choose GentleMax Pro over other laser hair removal systems?

The GentleMax Pro Laser can treat the fine hair on a woman’s upper lip just as easily and effectively as the coarse hair on a man’s back. The cool hand piece increases patient comfort and minimizes the adverse skin reaction commonly seen with other lasers.
