"Shaving every day is such a hassle."

"I had laser hair removal with the same device,

so why were the results different?"

You may be dealing with a lot of frustration because your hair keeps growing back despite managing it each time.

Although you may have tried managing it through shaving or waxing, having to perform self-hair removal regularly can be quite burdensome.

That is why many people consider laser hair removal.

Today, at the Dangsan Station Dermatology Clinic for Hair Removal (Department : Dermatology), we will look at why so many people consider laser hair removal instead of shaving.

We will also discuss what you should consider when receiving the treatment.

What principle does laser hair removal use?

Hair

The actual target of laser hair removal is not the “hair itself” that we see with our eyes.

The true target is the “root” that continuously produces the hair.

Many people think of it simply as a procedure to remove hair, but more precisely, it is a treatment that acts on the structures that cause hair to grow.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal does not simply involve shining light. It uses a principle that selectively targets specific structures within the skin.

Three elements play an important role in this process.

1. Melanin

Melanin

Hair contains a pigment called melanin, which is what makes it appear black.

When laser light encounters this melanin, it delivers energy.

In general, thicker and darker hair tends to respond better to the laser.

Conversely, lighter or finer hair contains less melanin, so multiple treatments may be needed.

2. Hair Root

Hair Root

The hair root is the part where the hair begins.

The hair we see is an already formed result, while the hair root beneath the skin is where new hair is actually produced.

When laser light is absorbed by melanin, the energy is converted into heat.

As this heat reaches the hair root, it gradually weakens the function that produces hair. This is the core principle of laser hair removal.

3. Hair Follicle

Hair Follicle

A hair follicle is a small sac-like structure surrounding the hair root.

Hair grows and develops inside the follicle, and the final target of the laser energy is also the area around the follicle and hair root.

In summary, rather than simply shaving the hair on the surface, the process selectively delivers energy to the hair root and follicle beneath the skin to reduce the strength of future hair growth.

What are the features of GentleMax Pro Plus?

GentleMax Pro Plus

There are various laser hair removal devices, but today we will take a closer look at GentleMax Pro Plus.

GentleMax Pro Plus is equipped with both a 755 nm Alexandrite laser and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser.

1. 755 nm Wavelength

It has a relatively short wavelength and a high absorption rate for the melanin pigment in the hair.

As explained above, laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin in the hair.

Therefore, it is used to deliver energy efficiently when treating dark, thick hair.

2. 1064 nm Wavelength

It is longer than the 755 nm wavelength and can reach deeper into the skin.

It is relatively less affected by melanin present on the surface of the skin.

For this reason, it is often used when the skin tone is relatively darker or when treating areas where the hair roots are positioned deep beneath the skin.

You may wonder, "What is the benefit of having two wavelengths?"

In simple terms, it means there is a wider range of choices depending on the condition of your skin and hair.

GentleMax Pro Plus

Everyone has a different skin tone, hair thickness and density, and hair-root depth.

A device that uses only one wavelength may offer limited options.

In contrast, GentleMax Pro Plus can use both wavelengths, allowing for a more flexible approach depending on the circumstances.

What determines the effectiveness of hair removal?

Even when the same GentleMax Pro Plus device is used, the effectiveness of hair removal can inevitably vary from person to person.

Let us look at the factors that may affect hair-removal results.

Hair Characteristics That May Affect Hair-Removal Results

1. Hair Thickness

Thick, dark hair and fine hair differ in their pigment levels, so they also differ in how much light they absorb.

2. Hair Density

Densely covered areas and more sparsely covered areas differ in the amount of hair that needs to be treated.

3. Skin Type

The appropriate wavelength and intensity vary depending on the skin color and condition.

4. Treatment Interval

Hair Growth Cycle

Treatment should be carried out in accordance with the process by which resting hairs return to the growth phase.

5. Energy Settings

Even with the same device, the settings should be adjusted according to the condition of the skin and hair on that day.

After treatment, symptoms such as redness, swelling around the follicles, a burning sensation, and dryness may occur. In rare cases, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation may also occur.

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

Today, at the Dangsan Station Dermatology Clinic for Hair Removal (Department : Dermatology), we looked at laser hair removal using GentleMax Pro Plus.

Even when the same device is used, results may vary, so it is important to find the method that suits you through a thorough consultation.

It is important to proceed by adjusting the treatment according to the characteristics of your skin and hair, as well as the appropriate energy settings, number of sessions, and intervals.
