Why Is Satisfaction with Hair Removal Different?

Yeongdeungpo U&I Clinic

"If it’s GentleMax Pro Plus,

isn’t it the same wherever you receive treatment?"

"They say it’s the same device, so why

is there such a difference in price?"

If you are reading this, you may be wondering whether to undergo laser hair removal using the GentleMax Pro Plus device.

However, when you look for reviews, satisfaction levels vary from person to person, which can make it confusing to know what to believe.

So today, I would like to clear up this misconception first.

To briefly state the conclusion, using the same device does not mean that the results will be exactly the same.

Once you understand why, you will also have a basis for deciding where and how to begin hair removal.

By reading to the end, you will understand why hair removal needs to be performed several times, how GentleMax Pro Plus works, and what factors affect the results.^^

Why doesn’t laser hair removal finish in just one session?

Laser Hair Removal

Before discussing the device, let’s first go over the basic characteristics of hair removal.

If you begin without understanding this part, it is easy to feel disappointed and wonder, “I had one session, so why is the hair growing back?”

The hair on our bodies does not grow all at once or at the same rate. Each hair follows a different cycle.

This is called the hair growth cycle, and it is broadly divided into three stages.

Hair Growth Cycle

1. Anagen phase

These hairs are actively growing. They are firmly connected to the hair follicles—the roots of the hair—and contain abundant pigment, so they respond well to the laser.

2. Catagen phase

These hairs have stopped growing and are in the process of regressing.

As their connection to the follicles begins to loosen, their response to the laser is not as strong as that of hairs in the anagen phase.

3. Telogen phase

These hairs are temporarily resting. Since they are inactive, they are difficult for the laser to target, and they eventually move back into the growth phase.

The important point is that, at any given time, all the hair on your body is distributed among these three phases.

The laser works most effectively on hairs in the anagen phase, but the hairs that happen to be in this phase during a single session account for only a portion of all the hair.

Laser Hair Removal

The remaining hairs that were resting may fall out this time and can be treated during a later session once they enter the growth phase.

That is why laser hair removal is performed over multiple sessions.

In general, the number of sessions needed also varies by body area because the thickness, density, and length of the growth cycle differ from one area to another.

What principle does it use?

Now that you understand the basic characteristics of hair removal, let’s move on to the device.

Let’s take a look at how GentleMax Pro Plus works.^^

The key is melanin, the pigment that determines hair color. When laser light is absorbed by melanin, the light energy is converted into heat.

That heat travels along the hair to the follicle at its root, weakening the function of the follicle.

One major feature of GentleMax Pro Plus is that it is equipped with two different laser wavelengths.

You can understand “wavelength” as a value that determines how deeply laser light enters the skin and how it behaves.

Different wavelengths reach different depths and react with different targets.

Can be used for various skin tones and hair conditions

Because both 755 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths can be used, there is a wider range of options for different skin tones and hair conditions.

As a result, GentleMax Pro Plus can be used for a broad range of applications, from coarse hair to larger treatment areas.

It is commonly used for laser hair removal on areas such as men’s facial hair, the underarms, arms, legs, and the Brazilian area.

Why do the results differ?

Even when the same GentleMax Pro Plus is used for hair removal, the results can differ from person to person.

Let’s examine the reasons from several perspectives.

1. Differences in hair condition

Differences in Hair Characteristics

Even in the same area, people have different hair thicknesses, densities, and degrees of pigmentation.

Since the laser works by responding to this pigment, even with the same device and treatment time, the response can inevitably differ if the hair itself is different at the starting point.

2. Device settings

GentleMax Pro Plus

GentleMax Pro Plus allows various settings, such as energy intensity, wavelength, and cooling level, to be adjusted according to the situation.

These values need to be set differently depending on skin tone, the treatment area, and hair condition.

Using the strongest settings indiscriminately is not necessarily better, nor is using only low settings always appropriate.

The process of finding the right balance between the two is precisely where differences in results arise.

In addition, it is important to find an appropriate interval between sessions that suits your hair condition.

Redness, follicular swelling, a stinging sensation, skin dryness, and, rarely, blisters or hyperpigmentation may occur after treatment.

If these symptoms persist, you should consult a medical professional and take appropriate action.
