If you’re tired of spending time and money on at-home hair removal methods and want a permanent solution that can give you hair-free skin, you’ll love the results of laser hair removal in Indian Harbour Beach. This professional laser treatment is completely customizable and safely eliminates unwanted hair from the face and the body while also rejuvenating the skin.
How Does Laser Hair Removal in Melbourne & Indian Harbour Beach Affect Different Skin Types?
Older laser hair removal devices were only effective on patients with specific skin tones and hair colors. To qualify for treatments, patients needed to have light skin and dark hair because the laser needed the contrast between the skin and the hair to effectively target the pigment and destroy the hair follicle. Many of these devices could harm the skin of patients with darker skin tones and cause hyperpigmentation and other skin tone irregularities.
Now, thanks to advancements in laser technology, these treatments are safe for patients with all skin types. The light energy will target the pigmented hair within the follicle without harming the surrounding tissue. Patients with all fair, light, medium, and dark types and tones can safely undergo treatment to achieve their desired results without worrying about a negative reaction or unwanted side effects.
The GentleMax Pro Laser Device
At The Refinery Medspa & Wellness locations, we used the Candela GentleMax Pro device during our laser hair removal treatments. This advanced laser system allows for a versatile treatment thanks to its single and dual wavelength capabilities. It also has a range of spot sizes to treat smaller and larger areas of the face and body, and it’s specifically designed to safely treat a range of skin types and tones.
Our technicians can adjust the device and use the single or dual wavelength technology to customize treatments for each patient based on their skin type and tone.
The High Repetition Rate
The GentleMax Pro laser has a high repetition rate which, combined with its large spot size, allows for a quick and efficient treatment. Patients who want to eliminate unwanted hair from larger areas of the body like the chest, back, or legs will benefit from treatment with this laser device and its large spot size. It’s also adaptable to different body areas to ensure a quick and effective treatment process.
The Advanced Cooling Technology
The GentleMax Pro laser has a built-in advanced cooling mechanism that uses specialized technologies to ensure that patients remain comfortable throughout their laser hair removal treatments. This technology cools the skin during the laser hair removal process so that patients don’t experience discomfort.
The laser devices of the past weren’t equipped with this type of technology and delivered a treatment that felt like a rubber band snapping the skin over and over. You can rest assured that when you undergo treatment with the GentleMax Pro laser device, you won’t have to worry about significant discomfort.
The Versatile Treatments
Advancements in laser technology led to the development of the GentleMax Pro laser, which delivers versatile treatments. Patients who previously didn’t qualify for laser hair removal treatments because of their skin type and tone can safely undergo this one and enjoy permanent hair reduction, including those with light skin and thin or fine hair.
Laser Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need an Initial Consultation?
An initial consultation is key to confirming whether laser hair removal in Indian Harbour Beach is right for you. The technician will ask you questions about your medical history and current health and evaluate the areas you want to treat in person. You’ll be able to ask questions about the treatment, and the technician can help manage your expectations so that you go into the process fully informed about every step.
How Should I Prepare for the Treatment?
Once you have an initial consultation with a laser hair removal technician and are confirmed as a good candidate, you can schedule your first appointment. You’ll need to avoid any type of hair removal methods that remove hair follicles from the root for at least four to six weeks before your treatment so that there’s hair in the follicle for the laser device to eliminate.
You can continue shaving since this hair removal method only cuts the hair growing from the follicle, it doesn’t pull it out from the roof. It’s also important to arrive at your appointment with clean skin if possible, free of any products so that it’s ready for treatment.
What Should I Expect From the Treatment Process?
Some technicians may apply a topical anesthetic to the patient’s skin to ensure patient comfort, but because the GentleMax Pro device has a built-in cooling mechanism, you can expect a comfortable treatment process without it. The technician will activate the laser device and pulses of light will target the skin in the treatment area.
You’ll feel a warm sensation from the heat energy for the duration of the treatment. Once it’s over, your technician will give you instructions about how to care for the skin and which products to use and avoid.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients need six to eight treatments for the best results. Laser hair removal is so effective because it destroys hair follicles in an active growth phase. However, at the time of treatment, not every hair follicle will be actively growing hair. To effectively target every hair follicle in the treatment area, multiple appointments are needed to give hair follicles time to move into an active growth phase that weren’t during the initial treatment.
How Long Does It Take To See Results?
Most patients see the best results after undergoing approximately seven treatments. By inhibiting the function of the hair follicle, the laser energy will decrease hair growth, and you’ll have notice visible results after each session you complete. Once you undergo the recommended number of sessions, you can expect smoother, hair-free skin, and significantly reduced hair growth.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The best candidates for this treatment are patients who are tired of using at-home or professional hair removal methods to temporarily eliminate unwanted hair. It’s also ideal for those with excessive hair in visible areas that makes them feel self-conscious about their appearance. Patients who are tired of spending time and money on shaving or waxing also make good candidates.
How Long Will the Results Last?
One of the benefits of our laser hair removal treatments with the GentleMax Pro device is that the results are permanent. Once you undergo the recommended number of sessions, you’ll achieve hair-free skin and can enjoy the results indefinitely.
What Are the Treatment Benefits?
One of the main benefits of this treatment, aside from the hair-free skin that results, is skin rejuvenation. The GentleMax Pro device not only eliminates unwanted hair, but it also rejuvenates the skin. The heat energy that targets the skin during treatment naturally increases collagen and elastin production, which results in tighter, smoother, and younger-looking skin after treatments.
