When considering hair removal treatments,
some of the most common questions people ask are:
“Will it really reduce hair cleanly?”
“Will it hurt?”
“Can people with sensitive skin receive the treatment?”
Laser hair removal may appear to be a procedure that simply removes hair,
but in reality, it is necessary to consider the depth of the hair follicles, hair thickness, skin tone,
and the sensitivity of each treatment area.
In addition, if the skin has become sensitive from repeated shaving or waxing,
or if hyperpigmentation or recurrent folliculitis is present,
more careful evaluation may be necessary.

Faster, more powerful, and more precise
The GentleMax Pro Plus
is a laser hair removal device
with performance that has been upgraded
from the previous GentleMax Pro.
The key to laser hair removal
is not simply using the strongest possible energy.
It is important to accurately deliver
the necessary energy to the hair follicles
while minimizing surface damage.
The GentleMax Pro Plus
aims to provide more efficient hair removal
through fast treatment speeds, a wide treatment range,
and precise energy delivery.
It can be used on large areas such as the underarms, arms, and legs,
as well as more delicate areas such as the upper lip, facial contours, and bikini line.
However, because hair thickness, density, and sensitivity vary by area,
the skin condition should be assessed before treatment
so that the appropriate energy level and treatment method can be determined.

Enhanced performance compared with the previous GentleMax Pro
A major feature of the GentleMax Pro Plus at Seoul National University Station
is that it can use both a 755 nm alexandrite laser
and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser.
The 755 nm alexandrite laser
responds well to melanin
and is used for removing relatively thick, dark hair.
In contrast, the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser
can reach relatively deeper layers,
so it may also be used depending on the situation
when skin tone or pigment response needs to be taken into account.
In other words, the ability to use dual wavelengths
means that a more detailed treatment plan
can be established according to the skin type and hair condition.
Even for the same hair removal treatment,
the approach should differ between a thin, sensitive area such as the upper lip
and a wide area with thicker hair such as the calves.
The GentleMax Pro Plus
can use a wide spot size,
which can help reduce treatment time.
Its cooling system may also help
relieve the heat and discomfort
that can occur during treatment.
Of course, the level of pain
may vary depending on the treatment area, hair thickness, skin sensitivity,
and each individual’s pain threshold.
Therefore, it is important to monitor the skin’s response during treatment
and proceed within a tolerable range.

If you are concerned about thick, dark hair
The GentleMax Pro Plus at Seoul National University Station
may be considered for people who:
1️⃣ Are concerned about the effectiveness of hair removal because of thick, dark hair
2️⃣ Are concerned about irritation and pain
3️⃣ Want fast and noticeable hair removal results
4️⃣ Have sensitive skin and want a stable treatment process
5️⃣ Want clean, smooth-looking skin after hair removal
Laser hair removal does not make all hair disappear
after a single treatment.
Because hair grows in cycles consisting of the growth phase, regression phase, and resting phase,
hairs in the growth phase, which respond effectively to the laser,
must be targeted repeatedly.
Therefore, depending on the treatment area and hair condition,
several treatment sessions may be necessary
at set intervals.
Hair removal results may also vary from person to person
depending on hair color, thickness, density, skin tone,
hormonal influences, and the treatment area.

The advantages of the GentleMax Pro Plus at Seoul National University Station
can be summarized in three main points.
First, powerful hair removal performance
Laser energy that precisely targets the hair follicles
may help reduce the inconvenience
of repeated shaving or waxing.
Second, low skin irritation
Temporary redness, stinging,
or swelling around the hair follicles
may occur after laser treatment.
However, using energy settings suited to the skin type and treatment area,
along with appropriate cooling and post-treatment care,
can help reduce unnecessary irritation.
Third, shorter treatment times are possible
A wide spot size and efficient treatment method
are advantageous for reducing treatment time
even on large or thickly haired areas
such as the arms, legs, back, chest, and male beard areas.
Because the skin may be temporarily sensitive after hair removal,
it is advisable to avoid hot saunas, excessive exercise, strong friction,
and irritating scrubs for a certain period.
For areas that receive significant ultraviolet exposure,
it is important to apply sunscreen thoroughly
to help prevent hyperpigmentation.

With laser hair removal,
the performance of the device is important,
but the key is to carefully evaluate the skin condition
and proceed safely
with appropriate settings.
