GentleMax Pro is a state-of-the-art laser hair removal system that combines two powerful wavelengths:
755nm Alexandrite laser ideal for lighter skin tones
1064nm Nd:YAG laser, designed for darker skin tones
This dual-wavelength technology allows for safe, effective treatment across all skin types and hair tones, with the flexibility to treat a wide range of concerns beyond hair removal.

GentleMax Pro can safely and effectively treat most areas of the face and body, including:
Face and neck
Underarms
Arms and hands
Legs
Bikini and Brazilian areas
Chest and abdomen
Back and shoulders
Treatment plans are customized based on hair growth patterns, skin type, and individual goals.

Laser hair removal works by delivering concentrated light energy into the hair follicle. The pigment in the hair absorbs this energy, which damages the follicle and disrupts its ability to produce new hair.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatment sessions are required to effectively target hairs during their active growth phase.
Over time, treated hair becomes:
Finer
Lighter
Less dense
Slower to regrow

GentleMax Pro offers several advantages over traditional hair removal methods such as shaving or waxing, including:
Long-lasting hair reduction
Dual-wavelength technology for different skin tones
Built-in cooling system for enhanced comfort
Reduced skin irritation and ingrown hairs
Medical-grade technology with proven safety
Laser hair removal treatments are performed in a clinical setting by trained professionals. Most sessions last between 10 and 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Patients often describe the sensation as a brief snapping or warming feeling. GentleMax Pro includes an integrated cooling system designed to protect the skin and improve comfort during treatment.
Mild redness or sensitivity may occur following treatment and typically resolves quickly.
Shave the treatment area prior to the appointment
Avoid sun exposure and tanning
Avoid waxing or tweezing before treatments
Avoid sun exposure
Follow post-treatment care instructions provided by the clinic
Use sunscreen on treated areas when exposed

Because hair grows in cycles, laser hair removal requires multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. The number of treatments needed depends on:
Treatment area
Hair thickness and color
Skin type
Individual hair growth cycle
