Before & After

This treatment is ideal for individuals who:

• Want a long-term solution to unwanted hair
• Are tired of shaving, waxing, or plucking
• Experience razor bumps or ingrown hairs
• Have light to dark skin tones and dark hair (laser works best on dark hair)
• Prefer a non-invasive, time-saving hair removal option

Laser hair removal works by delivering concentrated light energy to the hair follicle, heating and disabling it to prevent future growth. The GentleMax Pro Plus™ system effectively targets hair while protecting the surrounding skin with its cryotherapy cooling feature. The laser emits pulses of light absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, converting to heat that disrupts the follicle’s ability to regrow hair. 

Over time, treated hairs fall out and regrowth becomes finer and lighter. This method is highly precise, making it ideal for large and small areas alike. It’s a long-term solution for reducing unwanted hair with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions for optimal results, with treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to target hair in different growth cycles. Hair grows in three phases—anagen (active), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting)—and laser treatment is most effective during the anagen phase. 

Multiple sessions ensure that all follicles are treated at the right stage. Depending on the treatment area, hair density, and individual hormonal factors, some people may need touch-up sessions once or twice a year. Facial areas may require more frequent sessions due to faster hair growth. We’ll customize a plan based on your skin type and hair goals.

Yes, the GentleMax Pro Plus™ is Health Canada & FDA-approved and designed for safe, effective hair removal on all skin types. The built-in cryotherapy cooling system enhances safety by reducing heat buildup and preventing irritation during each pulse. Unlike older systems, this laser offers dual wavelengths (Alexandrite and Nd:YAG), allowing precise, safe treatment for both lighter and darker skin tones. 

Our certified technicians follow strict protocols to ensure your skin’s safety throughout the process. Before your first session, a patch test may be performed to rule out any sensitivity or reactions.

Yes, laser hair removal can be combined with treatments like chemical peels, Hydrafacial™, and microneedling, but sessions should be spaced out appropriately to avoid skin irritation. It’s important to allow your skin time to heal between procedures, especially if they involve exfoliation or resurfacing. 

For instance, Hydrafacial™ may be done a few days before or after laser sessions to keep the skin calm and hydrated. Always inform your provider about any other treatments you’re planning to avoid over-stressing the skin. A customized treatment schedule will be recommended to ensure safety and optimal results.

Hair reduction is noticeable after the first session, with significant improvements after a few treatments. Hair becomes finer, lighter, and grows back more slowly over time. While full hair removal may take several months, many clients see a 70–90% reduction by the end of their treatment cycle. 

Treated hairs may take up to two weeks to fully shed after each session. Consistency is key: missing appointments or shaving too soon can interrupt the results. Long-term benefits include smoother skin, fewer ingrown hairs, and reduced need for waxing or shaving.

Temporary redness, slight swelling, or mild sensitivity may occur but usually subside within a few hours. These are normal signs that the follicle has been successfully targeted. Most clients compare the sensation to a light rubber band snap, and discomfort is minimal thanks to the cryotherapy cooling system. 

To reduce irritation, avoid sun exposure, saunas, and hot showers for 24 hours post-treatment. Applying aloe vera or a cold compress can help soothe the area. If you follow post-treatment care properly, the risk of long-term side effects is extremely low.

Laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair since the laser targets melanin (pigment). It is less effective on blonde, gray, or white hair due to the lack of pigment. However, the Nd:YAG wavelength (1064 nm), available in the GentleMax Pro Plus™, penetrates deeper into the skin and targets the blood supply feeding the follicle rather than relying solely on melanin. 

This makes it a better option for those with lighter or finer hair compared to older Alexandrite-only systems. While results may still vary, our advanced technology offers improved outcomes for a wider range of hair types.

Laser hair removal can be safely performed on almost any part of the body where unwanted hair grows. Common treatment areas include the upper lip, chin, underarms, bikini line, legs, arms, chest, and back. More sensitive areas like the Brazilian or full face can also be treated with precision using the GentleMax Pro Plus™. 

The device’s dual-wavelength technology allows for customized settings based on the area, skin type, and hair texture. Whether you're looking for full-body hair removal or a small touch-up zone, the treatment is quick, effective, and tailored to your goals. During your consultation, we’ll help you determine which areas are suitable and how to schedule sessions efficiently.
