Important things about waxing
GentleMax Pro Plus
What about the principles, effects, and side effects?
Hello,
I am Director Kim Ga-eul.
When it comes to laser hair removal,
you must be curious why everyone looks for only GentleMax Pro Plus.
Right?
Especially since there is quite a price difference,
you might be wondering about the extent of the difference in effectiveness based on the price.
So today, I am going to summarize the principles, effects, and side effects of GentleMax Pro Plus
from A to Z one by one.
I will clarify what criteria to look at carefully.
I will provide a clear summary.
Overview of the principles and advantages of GentleMax Pro Plus
GentleMax Pro Plus is
💠755nm Alexandrite and
💠1064nm Nd:YAG laser system that uses
dual wavelength equipment.
It's already getting complicated, right? In short,
✔️1064 for deep hair
✔️755 for thin hair
Both are possible! That is.
The laser reaches the stem cells of the hair root and destroys them with thermal energy.
(If this energy is too high, burns can occur.)
This is the principle of permanent hair removal.
Thermal energy > Heat transfer to the base of the hair
The stability of output and DCD (cooling system)
has a significant impact in reducing side effects.
The reason this equipment is famous is
due to three distinctive features.
🔴First, the spot size.
You can use a large size of 26mm,
which means you can treat a wide area uniformly.
This is very advantageous for body hair removal.
A large spot is advantageous for treating a wide area,
and since the energy penetrates deeper, it's even more beneficial.
🟠Second is the constant fluence structure.
It is a strong point of GentleMax Pro Plus that
the output does not drop even in a wide spot.
Some equipment may experience lower energy density when the spot grows, but
this equipment is designed to maintain it.
🟡Third is the short pulse width.
👉It can be reduced to 2ms, allowing it to respond to short and thin hair,
👉Conversely, thick hair is reliably treated with 1064nm wavelength.
Additionally, the DCD gas cooling system is used to
quickly cool the skin before and after laser treatment
which helps reduce pain and protect against burns.
Thanks to this structure, the pain is significantly reduced.
This is considered the biggest advantage.
💫In summary,
spot size, dual wavelength, pulse control, and output stability, etc.
It is a highly complete equipment in terms of structural aspects,
which is why it has a good reputation in laser hair removal procedures.
GentleMax Pro Plus Side Effects: Burns
Of course, since laser hair removal uses thermal energy,
the possibility of burns cannot be completely eliminated.
GentleMax Pro Plus is no different.
Since the wavelength penetrates deeply and the output is high,
the higher the performance of the machine, the greater the risk of burns.
A typical situation is when the skin is sensitive and strong energy is applied,
or when the skin is still not calmed down after recent sun exposure and the treatment is performed,
especially if the laser touches the heated skin.
Additionally, dense beard hair removal areas have high absorption rates,
so even a little too much can result in redness or temporary swift reactions.
Factors that help reduce burns are
the cooling system and energy control capability.
GentleMax Pro Plus's DCD gas cooling works to
momentarily protect the skin surface before and after each shot,
reducing the risk of burns.
However, no matter how good the equipment is,
factors like the skin condition, hair type, and recent irritation must be considered for safety.
That is why the point emphasized by dermatology clinics is
that while equipment selection is important, skin condition analysis comes first.
If the skin is sensitive or has a high hair root density, strong energy must never be used.
Our hospital records and verifies the energy values for each session,
thereby conducting treatments with customized energy according to skin condition and hair root status.
Those of you reading this
should also check if the hospital conducts skin analysis along with equipment selection.
It’s advisable to check both.
🤍Summary of Today’s Article 🤍
1) Dual wavelength, short pulse width, wide spot size
2) DCD cooling system - pain relief
3) Be cautious of burn side effects
💡 Additional Q&A
Q. You mentioned there are two wavelengths, but what are the differences?
The difference in wavelength (type of light) of the laser is
755nm (Alexandrite):
It absorbs melanin well, making it easy to remove thin hair.
Thin and shallow hair
1064nm (Nd:YAG):
It penetrates deeply, safe for thick hair and dark skin.
Thick hair, deep-rooted hair, dark skin
Since the two wavelengths can be used in one machine,
it enables far more accurate tailored hair removal.
In this way, we have had a moment to discuss
GentleMax Pro Plus.
Thank you for reading this long article.
