Hair grows from follicles in the skin. The hair itself is not alive and can only grow from a living, healthy follicle. Laser hair removal targets these follicles and damages them so they are no longer able to produce hair.
This type of hair removal uses a laser that targets the hair follicles. The laser uses pulses of heat to destroy the hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin.
Some lasers can only be used on certain skin tones and hair types. Our Gentlemax Pro laser system works on all skin tones by using a special kind of laser called Nd:YAG. The Gentlemax Pro laser produces different wavelengths of laser light energy to effectively remove hair for all skin types.
With our laser system, almost anyone can receive laser hair removal. Our laser allows those with darker skin tones to safely undergo this procedure,
Individuals with skin conditions may need to wait until their skin heals before undergoing treatment for their own comfort and safety.
Your skin care professional will pass a wand over your skin that emits bursts of laser light energy. This causes the hair follicles to heat up and damages them, so they no longer produce hair.
Many people describe the feeling of the pulse like a rubber band being snapped against the skin. Numbing may be applied if needed. The laser also emits a burst of cooling that hits the skin before the laser, reducing the sensation of heat.
No downtime is required following a laser hair removal treatment, although redness and a small amount of swelling in the treated area are common and typically resolves themselves within 1 – 48 hours.
Sunscreen should be applied at all times, and harsh cleansers and scrubs should be avoided for a few days.
You will notice less hair regrowth after every treatment, and the hair follicles destroyed by the laser will stop growing new hair. However, you should not expect the removal of all hair in the first session.
Several sessions are required for best results in the treated area. More follicles stop producing hair after each treatment, so after each session, less and less hair grows back.
Over time, you will save money and time on shaving or waxing and no longer need to worry about unwanted hair or the associated costs of removing it.
