Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Why is laser hair removal often more difficult for men than women?

Men's hair is generally coarser, denser, and can grow deeper into the follicle, which can make it more resistant to standard laser settings. That's part of why the approach for treating men often needs to be tailored rather than using a one-size-fits-all setting.

Q2. What makes a device like GentleMax Pro Plus suited to this?

Devices built for coarser hair types generally allow adjustable energy levels that can be tuned to denser, thicker hair. The right settings and technique matter as much as the device itself, so it's worth having a clinician assess your specific hair and skin type first.

Q3. How many sessions do men typically need?

This varies a lot depending on hair thickness, density, and the treatment area, so there isn't a single fixed number that applies to everyone. A consultation is the best way to get a realistic estimate for your case.

Q4. Does it hurt more for coarser hair types?

Coarser, denser hair can sometimes mean more sensation during treatment since more energy may be needed to target the follicle effectively, but clinics typically use cooling systems and adjust settings to keep things as comfortable as possible.
