Arlington Laser Hair Removal
Say Goodbye to Unwanted Hair
GentleMax Pro laser hair removal at SkinDC gives you a gentle and effective way to remove unwanted hair from just about anywhere.
What Is GentleMax Pro?
Laser hair removal targets melanin in hair follicles, using single, specific wavelengths that are, in many cases, tuned to match the skin pigmentation of each patient. GentleMax Pro eliminates unwanted hair more effectively and comfortably than ever before.
This advanced system harnesses the power of two fast and powerful lasers:
- Alexandrite for lighter skin tones
- Nd:YAG for darker skin tones
This dual-wavelength feature makes GentleMax Pro uniquely versatile, allowing it to be safely and effectively used on all skin types.
Unlike traditional hair removal methods that are time-consuming and temporary, GentleMax Pro offers a lasting solution. It targets the hair follicles with laser energy to reduce hair growth without harming the surrounding skin.
This innovative approach helps you get smooth, hair-free skin with minimal discomfort.
How Laser Hair Removal Works at SkinDC
Hair follicles grow in a cycle, though not in sync with each other, so several treatments are necessary to catch follicles at their vulnerable place in the growth cycle.
Because many hair removal lasers can be tuned, treating individual rogue hairs – such as those that grow darker and thicker with time – is possible without affecting surrounding follicles that continue to grow normally.
Laser hair removal targets melanin in hair follicles, using single, specific wavelengths that are, in many cases, tuned to match the skin pigmentation of each patient. Here’s how it works:
- The melanin in the hair follicles absorbs the energy from the laser source and heats up.
- That heating action destroys the follicle’s ability to grow hair, leading to complete hair removal once all follicles in each area are treated.
What to Expect With
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal treatment is quick and easy, with most sessions lasting between a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Most people describe the sensation as a series of quick, light snaps against the skin. Thanks to the DCD technology, you’ll have minimal discomfort, making the procedure a great option for most people.
Post-treatment, you may have some redness and swelling akin to mild sunburn. However, these symptoms usually subside within a few hours to a few days. It's crucial to follow your aftercare guidelines, including avoiding direct sun exposure and using sunscreen on the treated area.
Seeing Results
While some patients notice a reduction in hair growth after the first session, the best results generally require multiple treatments. This is due to the hair growth cycle, with only actively growing hairs being affected by the treatment.
Subsequent sessions are scheduled based on your hair growth cycle, typically every four to six weeks, to effectively target new hair growth.
