Depending on the technique you use, removing unwanted body hair can be a time-consuming, tedious, painful chore. Shaving your legs multiple times a week. Waxing your underarms. Applying cream to a patch of hair on your back or chest. Over and over again. If you want to get rid of unwanted hair for longer in a fast, convenient, and effective way, laser hair removal is the solution you’re looking for. But if you have sensitive skin, you may wonder how safe laser hair removal treatment is for you. The good news is there are options suitable for delicate skin, including the GentleMax Pro system. We’ll take a closer look at that, and answer important questions about laser hair removal for sensitive skin, below. How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?If your sensitive skin makes waxing and shaving uncomfortable or impractical, laser hair removal could be the best option. Laser hair removal takes a completely different approach to more traditional techniques. Instead of cutting the hairs off at the surface of the skin or pulling them out with hardened wax, laser hair removal systems get right to the root of the issue. A handheld device emits light energy at the target area (e.g. the back). The pigment in the hair (melanin) absorbs this energy, which is converted into heat. That heat damages the hair follicles, without affecting the surrounding skin, and inhibits future growth. There are different types of laser hair removal systems available, and some may function differently from others. If you’re concerned about trying laser hair removal because your skin is particularly sensitive, it’s crucial that you choose a system that caters to different skin types. And the GentleMax Pro is a fantastic example. What is the GentleMax Pro Laser Hair Removal System?The cutting-edge GentleMax Pro system is suitable for all skin types and is designed to achieve lasting results while minimizing discomfort. It can remove hair from any pigment of skin, as it includes two wavelengths: 755 nm and 1064 nm. Technicians can easily select the right wavelength to suit the skin type treated. Only the follicles are damaged during the treatment, and the rest of the skin remains unharmed. Trained technicians use the GentleMax Pro’s small handpiece to deliver the laser energy to skin with precision. The system is safe enough to treat different areas of the body. After the treatment, the majority of the treated hairs will wipe away easily. The rest of the hair will fall out gradually across the following week or two. The GentleMax Pro system can also be used to treat a wide range of skin conditions, such as:
One of the most distinctive aspects of the GentleMax Pro system, though, is its patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD). Why is the GentleMax Pro Laser Hair Removal System Safe for Sensitive Skin?The GentleMax Pro system was built to provide a safe, comfortable treatment for all skin types, and the DCD plays a key part in that. The device prepares the targeted areas of skin for treatment by releasing a burst of cooling spray milliseconds before each laser pulse. That will help soothe the skin and keep you comfortable during the entire process. Compared to other laser hair removal systems, GentleMax Pro is gentler and easier on skin. You can discuss the treatment, your goals, and your concerns about your sensitive skin with a trained technician during a personalized consultation. This is vital for understanding your skin type, the texture of your hair, and other essential details. Are There Any Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal?Side effects are common with all types of treatment, and laser hair removal is no different. The GentleMax Pro makes for a smoother, safer, simpler procedure than other systems, but there are still a few potential side effects to consider. The skin may turn slightly red immediately after the treatment. This usually lasts between a few minutes and several hours but will fade. Swelling, bruising, and blistering may also occur. Any dark spots in treated areas will become darker, though they will gradually grow lighter. We’ll discuss the possible side effects and how to handle them during your consultation. How Should I Care for My Sensitive Skin After My Laser Hair Removal Treatment?It’s important that you take certain steps after your laser hair removal treatment, not only to achieve the best results, but to care for your skin too. Your skin will be more vulnerable to UV damage after treatment. Try to avoid direct sunlight, and if you need to go outside, wear sunblock of SPF30 or higher. You should also avoid rinsing or scrubbing treated areas with any abrasive products for a few days following treatment. How Long Do Laser Hair Removal Treatments Take?The duration of your laser hair removal treatment will depend on the size of the target area and the level of hair growth. Itcould last 10 minutes or so if treating a small area, or up to one hour for a bigger part of the body with more dense hair growth. We’ll be able to give you a clear idea of the length of your treatment after your consultation. How Many Sessions with the GentleMax Pro System Will I Need?The nature of hair growth means that multiple laser hair removal sessions are required to achieve noticeable results. Hair grows in four stages, but follicles across the body are often in different stages at any one time. To treat the follicles and hairs in the growth stage effectively, you’ll need several treatments scheduled six to weight weeks apart.
