  1. Male hair removal is not just hair removal. The hair is quite different

  • 1.1 Hair follicles are deep → Sufficient energy is required to affect the stem cells. However, if a high energy is used when the density is high, the energy combines and causes burns

  • 1.2 Thick and strong hair → Thickness implies depth

  • 1.3 Thick skin → Similarly, it must penetrate deeper

  • 1.4 Dilemma → If you just increase the output, burns occur; you need to change the wavelength (755nm → 1064nm)

2. Therefore, it cannot be done in regular hair removal shops. It is on a different level.


  1. Laser hair removal is completely different from plucking.

  2. When you pluck with tweezers or wax, the hair is temporarily removed,

  3. but unlike laser hair removal, the hair follicle stem cells remain alive.

  4. In contrast, laser hair removal destroys those stem cells with heat. It's a completely different story.

[Hair Removal Using Home Devices]

  1. Non-medical devices lack sufficient output.

  2. With insufficient output, attempting to achieve effects can lead to burns from repeated irradiation of the same area

  3. In fact, many people visit our Beauty Stone Clinic with burns from home devices or regular salons, and they come in with post-burn hyperpigmentation.

Therefore, if you cannot properly adjust the output and overlap with home devices, you could either face burns or have no effect, it’s one or the other. You don’t know the boundary without experience.

3. Reasons Why Beauty Stone is Different

The GentleMax Pro Plus used at our Hongdae Beauty Stone Clinic

  • Utilizes two wavelengths, 755nm and 1064nm. The key is that it can switch or combine wavelengths depending on hair thickness, density, skin color, and area. It can safely deliver enough energy to deep and thick hair follicles like those in male skin.

  • We record the output and setting values for each session and adjust based on that data during the next visit. Even using the same device, different settings will lead to different results. Through gradual energy adjustment based on accumulated data, it is effective and safe.

For those who have given up because they thought male hair removal is difficult, I encourage you to try a proper method once.
