Important things about waxing
GentleMax Pro Plus
What are the principles, effects, and side effects?
Hello,
This is Chief Director Kim Ga-eul.
When considering laser hair removal, you may wonder which equipment is better,
why GentleMax Pro Plus is the most effective among them,
whether there is a real difference in effectiveness, and you may have many concerns.
Especially since there is a significant price difference,
you may want to check if it's simply because it's expensive,
or if there are structural differences.
You might want to verify that.
So today, I would like to organize
from the principles to the effects and side effects of GentleMax Pro Plus
from A to Z.
I will clearly explain what criteria you should carefully consider.
Just focus for 3 minutes and read to the end,
and I hope you gain some help : )
GentleMax Pro Plus Principles and Advantages Overview
GentleMax Pro Plus is a
755nm Alexandrite and
1064nm Nd:YAG dual wavelength device.
This wavelength combination was created to address
various conditions such as fine hair, coarse hair, deep roots, and dark skin.
Since the laser reaches the hair follicle and weakens the hair through heat,
the characteristics of the wavelength and output stability
have a greater impact than you might think.
This device is noted for three characteristics.
First, the spot size is a significant factor.
It can use a large size of 26mm,
allowing it to process a wide area uniformly.
A larger spot means a wider treatment range,
shortened time,
and stable effects without diffusion of output.
Secondly, it has a consistent fluence structure.
GentleMax Pro Plus's strength lies in maintaining output even with a wide spot.
Some devices experience a drop in energy density as the spot size increases,
but this device is designed to maintain that.
Thirdly, it offers a short pulse width.
It can be reduced to 2ms, which allows it to effectively treat fine and thin hair
while deep hairs are treated stably with the 1064nm wavelength.
Additionally, using a DCD gas cooling system helps
to quickly cool the skin before and after the laser shots,
which helps reduce pain and protect the surface.
Thanks to this structure,
even those who are sensitive to pain can relatively comfortably
undergo the procedure.
In summary,
the spot size, dual wavelengths, pulse control, and output stability
make this device highly refined in structural aspects,
making it highly rated for laser hair removal procedures.
GentleMax Pro Plus Side Effects: Burns
Of course, laser hair removal uses
heat energy, so the possibility of burns cannot be completely eliminated.
It is the same for GentleMax Pro Plus.
As the wavelength penetrates deeply and the output is high,
the higher the device's performance,
the greater the risk of burns.
A typical situation is when
the skin is sensitive and strong energy is applied,
or when the skin has recently been exposed to sunlight and has not yet calmed before
the procedure is performed,
especially when the laser touches preheated skin.
Also, areas with dense hair removal have high absorption rates,
leading to a stronger sensation of heat,
which means that even a slight excess can lead to redness or a temporary quick reaction.
Factors that help reduce burns
include cooling systems and energy control capabilities.
The DCD gas cooling of GentleMax Pro Plus
instantaneously protects the skin's surface before and after the shots,
which helps lower the risk of burns.
However, no matter how good the device is,
the skin condition, hair type, and recent irritations must all be considered
for safe procedures.
That is why dermatologists emphasize that
while choosing equipment is important,
analyzing skin condition should come first.
If your skin is sensitive or the density of hair follicles is high,
using strong energy is absolutely not recommended.
Our clinic records the energy values used in each session
and proceeds after confirming them,
allowing us to conduct treatments with tailored energy based on skin and follicle conditions.
If you are reading this article,
it is advisable to check whether not only the device but also skin analysis is performed in the clinic.
Today's Summary!
1) Dual wavelengths, short pulse width, wide spot size
2) DCD cooling system - pain relief
3) Beware of burn side effects
💡 Additional Q&A
Q. You mentioned two types of wavelengths; what is the difference between them?
The difference in laser wavelengths (types of light) is
755nm (Alexandrite):
Well absorbed by melanin, effective for removing fine hair
Fine and shallow hair
1064nm (Nd:YAG):
Penetrates deeply and is safe for coarse hair and dark skin
Coarse hair, hair in deep follicles, dark skin
Because it uses two wavelengths in one machine,
it allows for much more precise customized hair removal.
Thus, we have had a time to discuss
the GentleMax Pro Plus.
Thank you for reading this long article.
