FAQ
GentleMax Pro Plus Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of hair removal device is the GentleMax Pro Plus?
GentleMax Pro Plus is a medical laser hair removal device equipped with two types of lasers: an alexandrite laser and a YAG laser. It uses the appropriate laser based on hair type and skin condition to target various types of hair throughout the body.
Can GentleMax Pro Plus be used on fine hair?
Yes. GentleMax Pro Plus is a medical laser hair removal device capable of treating even vellus hair and fine hair. Since the response varies depending on hair type and treatment area, multiple sessions may be necessary.
Does GentleMax Pro Plus hurt?
With GentleMax Pro Plus, you may experience some discomfort depending on the treatment area and hair density. In particular, the YAG laser, which targets deep-rooted hair, tends to cause more irritation; however, the cooling system is designed to minimize discomfort during treatment.
How long does it take to achieve hair removal results with GentleMax Pro Plus?
Medical hair removal requires multiple sessions in accordance with the hair growth cycle, and the number of sessions and duration required vary from person to person. Since the appropriate interval between treatments depends on hair type, the treatment area, and your desired results, please discuss this with us during your consultation.
Is GentleMax Pro Plus effective against dark spots and enlarged pores?
The Alexandrite laser featured in the GentleMax Pro Plus reacts with melanin, so it can also be effective in treating darkened pores and light spots.
Does the GentleMax Pro Plus at YAYOI CLINIC have a short treatment time?
Yes. At YAYOI CLINIC, we’ve introduced the GentleMax Pro Plus, which has a spot size of up to 26 mm, allowing us to efficiently treat large areas. As a result, one of our key features is the ability to shorten treatment times, even for full-body hair removal.
Does YAYOI CLINIC apply gel before hair removal with the GentleMax Pro Plus?
YAYOI CLINIC’s GentleMax Pro Plus is characterized by its gel-free treatment. This makes it an ideal option for those who dislike the gel applied before hair removal or who want to keep pre-treatment preparations as simple as possible.
Does the GentleMax Pro Plus at YAYOI CLINIC take care to minimize the burden on the skin?
Yes. At YAYOI CLINIC, we believe that the method of treatment affects not only the effectiveness of hair removal but also the impact on the skin, which is why our treatments are performed by experienced nurses. We conduct the procedures while carefully assessing hair type and skin condition, taking care to minimize the impact on the skin.
Are there any precautions I should take after a GentleMax Pro Plus treatment?
After a GentleMax Pro Plus treatment, your skin may become temporarily sensitive. Avoid vigorous rubbing and sun exposure, and be sure to moisturize and use sun protection. If you continue to experience any concerning symptoms, such as redness or stinging, please contact us.
