Without advanced notice of rescheduling, or simply not showing up for scheduled appointments, it eliminates our ability to treat other patients in those time slots.

FAQ'S

Patients stay comfortable during treatments and achieve ultimate outcomes with dependable epidermal protection. Candela GentleMax Pro Plus incorporates the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) cooling system to protect the patients’ skin no matter how fast the laser is fired.

An important note before each GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal treatment is to shave the targeted area(s) 24-48 hours before your appointment. Avoid the use of any lotions, deodorant, makeup, or cosmetics on the skin to allow for better results. You should avoid electrolysis, waxing, or plucking, six weeks prior to your laser hair removal treatment. Your skin should be clean-shaven and clean from creams, oils, makeup, self-tanning products, or topical anesthetics, on the day of your hair removal treatment. Prior to and immediately after your treatment, you should avoid tanning beds or sunlight and apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or above). Please refer to and follow the instructions within our GentleMax Pro Plus Laser Hair Removal Pre-Care & Post-Care Instruction Guide for all of the specifics!

The number of GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal treatments you will need depends on the area to be treated, coarseness of the hair and the pigment of the skin and hair.

Treatment areas such as the legs, bikini area and under-arms could take 6 or more GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal treatments. Other more hormonal areas could require 8 or more treatments. Candela GentleMax Pro Plus Laser hair removal interval sessions are usually 4-6 weeks apart to effectively reduce hair growth.

During your GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal journey at LMC, your laser technician will keep you updated on how many more sessions you will need and your ongoing progress.

Along with GentleMax Pro Plus being popular for laser hair removal, the GentleMax Pro plus also offers the benefit and versatility of using top of the line technology to effectively treat:

  • Vascular lesions
  • Diffuse redness and facial vessels
  • Spider and leg veins
  • Angiomas and hemangiomas
  • Nail fungus

The most common side effects of GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal include:

Skin irritation: There may be temporary discomfort, redness and swelling evident in the treatment area.  Any signs and symptoms typically disappear within several hours. To reduce any discomfort, apply ice to the treated area. If you have a skin reaction immediately after laser hair removal, immediately contact our office.

Pigment changes: Laser hair removal can potentially darken or lighten the affected treatment area. These pigment changes can be temporary or even permanent. Skin lightening primarily affects those who don’t avoid sun exposure before or after treatment and those who have darker skin. 

Prevention is key! In order to minimize the risk of pigment changes, ensure to avoid sunlight exposure after laser hair removal and between scheduled treatments. Additionally, avoid tanning beds for a minimum of six weeks. Use a broad-spectrum 30 SPF sunscreen daily.

Rarely, laser hair removal can also cause blistering, crusting, scarring or skin texture changes. Other rare side effects include graying of treated hair or paradoxical hair growth around the treated areas, particularly on darker skin types.

No two clients are the same in terms of being able to give them a definite number of necessary GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal treatments. It depends on: your age, hair type and the area to be treated. Some clients require 6 treatments, whereas others may need 9 or more. On average, about 80 percent hair reduction is achieved after 6 visits. You should also know: there may be reduced hair growth for several weeks after treatment. Then you’ll experience new regrowth in certain areas and during this stage, another treatment is required. 

After your GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal treatment, you may experience redness or swelling on the area treated that typically goes away after a few hours, depending on the reaction. Within several hours or days after the treatment, these side effects will vanish. After each session:

● Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks following the treatment

● Every day, apply sunscreen with SPF30 to the treated area(s)

● Avoid sauna use, hot baths/showers or active exercise until the redness is gone

● Do not scratch, tweeze, wax, or pluck the area. Shaving only!
