The most common questions
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
In general, Laser Hair Removal makes use of light energy at a specific wavelength, in order to reach under the skin and destroy the hair follicle — stopping hair growth at its source.
As a result, it’s designed to get rid of unwanted hair permanently for many areas of the face and body.
Lasers are non-invasive, involves minimal downtime, and is FDA-approved for permanent hair reduction.
What is the Candela GentleMax Pro Laser for Hair Removal?
So what makes the GentleMax Pro Laser the best solution for permanent hair removal in New York City and beyond?
Specifically, it operates at a higher wavelength of light than many of its competitors. As a result, the light energy penetrates more deeply into the skin, targeting the hair follicle for destruction with more power and efficiency. At the same time, it leaves the healthy surrounding tissue intact.
Therefore, you’re assured safe, gentle, fast and effective Laser Hair Removal results with minimal side effects and downtime.
Additionally, its advanced technology allows treatment of sensitive areas such as the face, bikini, and underarms with greater precision and comfort.
Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal with the Gentle Max Pro System? What About Laser for Dark Skin Tone vs Laser for Light Skin Tone?
The GentleMaxPro system is renowned for its versatility, making Laser Hair Removal effective for all skin tones and skin types.
In a nutshell, it’s two lasers in one.
As a result, your Laser Specialist can customize treatment to assure safety, comfort and effectiveness on all skin types and skin tones from lighter to darker skin. Specifically, the two different lasers are:
The GentleLASE is an Alexandrite laser that operates at 755 nm wavelengths — designed to work on light skin tones (Fitzpatrick Skin Tone Scale I-III).
The GentleYAG is an ND:YAG laser that operates at 1064 nm wavelengths and is designed to get rid of hair on dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick Skin Classification Scale IV-VI).
This dual-laser technology makes the GentleMax Pro one of the most effective laser hair removal systems available, minimizing risks of hyperpigmentation or burns, especially for darker skin tones.
What to Expect Before, During and After Your Laser Hair Removal Sessions?
Each laser hair removal session typically lasts between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
During treatment, you may feel brief, mild discomfort described as a snapping sensation on the skin. The Dynamic Cooling Device helps reduce this sensation by cooling your skin before each laser pulse.
Before your appointment, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks. Shave the treatment area 24 hours prior but avoid waxing or plucking, as these remove the hair follicle targeted by the laser.
After treatment, you may notice mild redness or swelling that usually subsides within a few hours. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen diligently to protect the treated skin.
