What Is GentleMax Pro? Cutting-Edge Technology in Medical Hair Removal
GentleMax Pro is a hair removal device that uses a medical-grade laser. First, we’ll introduce the features and effects of GentleMax Pro.
■ Features and Effects of GentleMax Pro
GentleMax Pro is,Thermal Destruction-Type Medical Laser Hair Removal Device. One of its key features is that it is equipped with two lasers: an alexandrite laser and a YAG laser.
The Alexandrite laser has a relatively short wavelength of 755 nm and is characterized by its high reactivity with melanin pigment. This makes it well-suited for removing thick, dark hair. In contrast, the YAG laser, with its longer wavelength of 1064 nm, is characterized by its low absorption by epidermal melanin. This allows the laser light to penetrate deep into the skin while minimizing damage, enabling efficient hair removal. Since it can target thick, coarse, and deeply rooted hairs, it is also highly effective for men’s beard hair removal. By incorporating both of these lasers, the output can be adjusted according to hair type, ensuring effective hair removal treatment.
■Differences from Conventional Laser Treatment
The difference from conventional laser treatment is that,The fact that the irradiation area is 24 mm wideBecause the treatment area is large, even when you want to have hair removed from large areas—such as your back or legs—the procedure can be completed quickly.
In addition, because the device is equipped with two types of lasers, treatment may be considered based on skin type and condition, even in cases that are difficult to treat with conventional lasers. The YAG laser, which has a longer wavelength, reacts more gently to melanin, soPeople with a tan or darker skin tones can also easily receive treatmentThis is a trend. Furthermore,Since it reacts easily even to fine, light-colored vellus hair, it may be effective for facial hair removal—a procedure that has traditionally been considered difficult.As your hair texture improves, you can also expect secondary benefits such as less noticeable pores and a brighter complexion.
■Why It Causes Less Pain and Is Gentler on the Skin
Medical hair removal using GentleMax Pro is also characterized by minimal pain and minimal strain on the skin. The reason for this is that,Equipped with a cooling functionHere’s why. The pain and skin irritation associated with medical hair removal are caused by the heat from the laser. By applying a cooling spray immediately before laser treatment and performing the procedure while protecting the skin, we can reduce both pain and skin irritation. Additionally, since the laser output can be finely adjusted based on skin type, hair type, and individual pain tolerance, even those who are sensitive to pain can undergo the treatment with the settings adjusted to their comfort.
The Process of Medical Hair Removal Using GentleMax Pro
Now, let’s take a look at the process of medical hair removal using the GentleMax Pro.
■The Process from Your First Visit to Treatment
From your initial consultation to your treatment, the process generally proceeds as follows.
- Please shave the area with a razor or electric shaver the day before or on the day of your appointment before coming to the clinic.

On average, the treatment course consists of about 5 to 10 sessions.However, since results vary from person to person, some cases may require more than 10 sessions. Please confirm the specific treatment duration and number of sessions when you make your appointment.

After receiving a GentleMax Pro treatment,To soothe the skin and relieve the stress caused by heat, we cool the skin.You may wash your face and apply makeup starting on the day of the procedure.On the day of your treatment, avoid taking a bath (soaking in the tub), as it can increase blood flow and may cause redness or itching; instead, limit yourself to a lukewarm shower.
Also, after the treatment,It's important to use sunscreen, hats, and other protective measures to avoid UV rays.That's right.

Things to Know Before Starting GentleMax Pro Medical Hair Removal in Hiroshima
Before starting medical hair removal with GentleMax Pro in Hiroshima, it’s helpful to know the following points so you can feel more confident about undergoing the treatment.
■ Importance of Counseling
Consultation is essential for choosing the right treatment for you and ensuring you’re satisfied with the results. To avoid finding yourself in a situation where you’ve undergone treatment but aren’t satisfied with the results, be sure to address any concerns or worries you may have during the consultation. During the consultation, it’s important to discuss the following points:
- Time required to see results and treatment frequency
- The types of hair removal devices available and whether there is a treatment option that suits you
- Risks Associated with the Procedure
- Response to Problems and Follow-Up Support
- Costs of hair removal and whether there are any additional fees

Medical hair removal treatment plans vary by clinic. Since the duration and cost of treatment depend on hair quality and density, as well as the equipment used, be sure to confirm these details during your consultation.
■The Difference Between Medical Hair Removal and Aesthetic Hair Removal
When it comes to hair removal treatments, some people may be curious about the difference between medical hair removal and salon hair removal. The main difference is,Duration of Hair Removal ResultsThat's right. Since medical hair removal uses lasers to destroy hair follicle tissue, it can be expected to provide long-term hair reduction.
On the other hand, salon hair removal is a treatment that damages the hair follicles to inhibit hair growth; it does not destroy them. As a result, while it can temporarily suppress hair growth, the hair will grow back over time. The initial cost is often lower for salon hair removal, butIf your goal is long-term hair removal, medical hair removal might actually be more cost-effective.
