Understanding Professional Laser Hair Reduction
Laser hair reduction uses concentrated light that is absorbed by pigment in suitable hair. The energy is converted to heat and affects the targeted follicular structure.
Hair grows through different phases, and not all hairs are in the same phase during one appointment. This is one reason multiple sessions may be recommended.
Treatment response depends on factors that may include:
- Hair colour and thickness
- Skin characteristics
- Treatment area
- Hair density
- Hormonal influences
- Previous hair-removal methods
- Treatment timing
- Device and settings
- Individual response
Laser hair reduction should not be described as a guarantee that no hair will ever return. Regrowth, finer residual hair and maintenance requirements vary.
Candela GentleMax Pro at Reveal Medical Center
Reveal Medical Center uses the Candela GentleMax Pro for approved laser hair reduction services.
The system combines:- 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength
- 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength
- An integrated cooling system
- A range of professional treatment settings and spot sizes
Having two wavelengths supports individualised treatment planning across a broad range of skin and hair characteristics.
The appropriate wavelength, energy, pulse duration, spot size, cooling and other parameters are selected by an authorised professional following assessment.
The device used does not by itself determine suitability, comfort or outcome. Professional assessment, appropriate settings, treatment technique, skin condition, hair characteristics and aftercare also matter.
