Comparing Laser Devices
IPL is versatile and can treat a range of skin concerns, but may take longer to show results and be less effective on deeper pigment or vascular issues.
The GentleMax Pro is a gold-standard laser system that delivers faster, more precise results with fewer sessions, making it ideal for stubborn skin concerns like pigment correction, vascular lesions, rosacea, and deep acne. It’s suitable for a wider variety of skin types, with minimal downtime.
Treating Brown Benign Pigment
Brown pigment, such as sun spots, freckles, and age spots, is caused by an overproduction of melanin, usually triggered by sun exposure or aging. The GentleMax Pro laser targets this pigment with a specific wavelength of light, which is absorbed by the dark spots. This causes the pigment to darken and gradually slough off over 7-10 days. The treatment is non-invasive and feels warm, like sitting in the sunlight.
While results can be seen after one session, we typically recommend 3-5 treatments, spaced about one month apart, for optimal results. This treatment does not target red or purple lesions, as it specifically addresses brown pigment. Over time, the laser helps even out skin tone and significantly reduces visible pigment.
Treating Rosacea & Redness
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes pustules, mainly on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. It often results in frequent flushing or blushing. Other causes of redness include sun damage, stress, alcohol, and extreme temperatures. The GentleMax Pro can help manage rosacea symptoms by reducing visible vessels and calming inflammation.
Treatment:
- Typically requires 3-5 treatments for optimal management of rosacea.
The GentleMax Pro uses bulk heating to treat diffuse redness caused by conditions like rosacea or broken capillaries. The laser coagulates the blood vessels beneath the skin's surface, causing them to darken temporarily and then fade over time. Relief from symptoms like flushing can often be felt within 24 hours, and full results take 4-6 weeks.
Treating Cherry Angiomas
A Cherry Angioma is a small, red or purple mole-like growth that can appear on the skin. It may be flat or raised and is usually harmless. The GentleMax Pro laser can treat cherry angiomas by coagulating the blood vessels, causing the angioma to fade away within days.
Treatment:
- 1 treatment is typically sufficient for most cherry angiomas.
The GentleMax Pro targets cherry angiomas and vascular lesions by coagulating the blood vessels inside the lesion, causing them to break down and fade.
Most lesions will crust and flake off within 7-10 days after treatment.
Treating Broken Capillaries/Spider Veins
A Broken Capillary is a dilated blood vessel visible through the skin, often appearing as fine red or purple lines. They can result from sun exposure, aging, or skin conditions like rosacea. The GentleMax Pro laser targets these vessels, coagulating them so they collapse and fade, reducing redness and improving the overall skin appearance.
Treatment:
- Typically resolves in 1-3 sessions, depending on severity.
The GentleMax Pro targets vascular lesions by coagulating the blood vessels inside the lesion, causing them to break down and fade. Depending on the severity, may resolve in as little as 1 treatment.
Treating Acne Symptoms
The GentleMax Pro treats acne by using bulk heating to reduce blood flow to acne-causing bacteria and sebaceous glands. The laser coagulates the vessels, shrinks the sebaceous glands, and helps to dry out existing blemishes while preventing future breakouts. While it's not a cure for acne, it can significantly improve symptoms, and relief is often seen after just one treatment. Typically, we recommend 3 treatments, spaced 2 weeks apart, for optimal results.
It is essential to pair your acne laser therapy with a quality, acne targeted skincare routine and a balanced diet. It is encourage to perform a chemical peel series to work to reduce acne symptoms prior to or throughout your treatment protocol.
We offer full face and targeted treatment options. This is NOT a cure, it manages symptoms.
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
At our clinic, we believe in transparency, which is why we recommend a sequence of 8 treatments for optimal results. This approach ensures we target hair in all growth phases, providing the best possible outcome for lasting hair reduction. After completing the full series, annual maintenance may be required to address any minor hair growth due to natural regeneration and hormonal fluctuations. Some clients may need maintenance sooner, while others can go longer between sessions.
Your first treatment will be rebooked in 4-6 weeks and subsequent treatments will become 1-2 weeks longer between, depending on your unique response.
Preparing For Your Laser Treatment
- For 4 weeks: no tweezing, waxing/epilating/ using nair-like products.
- For 2 weeks: No Citrus essential oils, st. johns wort, Avoid sun/use intentionally mineral based sunscreen to avoid a sun tan, no self tanner.
- 5 days prior: no retinols/exfoliants.
- Day of: no lotion/make up. Clean shave the area.
After Your Treatment
There is no downtime with laser hair removal, and most clients are able to return to work the same day. You may feel a mild sunburn-like sensation, and it's normal to experience temporary reddening or edema (slight swelling), which can look like hives or welts around the hair follicles. This typically resolves within a few hours post-treatment.
To ensure optimal results and skin health, we recommend avoiding heat, friction, exfoliation, or hot showers for 24 hours after your session. Additionally, it's important to use sunscreen daily for at least 2 weeks post-treatment to protect your skin from UV damage. You can apply makeup immediately after the treatment, as there is no restriction on that.
Health Conditions & Laser Treatments
Laser hair removal is generally safe for most people, but certain conditions and medications may require caution. Pregnancy is a contraindication, though breastfeeding is fine. If you're taking photosensitizing medications like Accutane, you must wait at least 6 months before undergoing laser treatment. Similarly, if you've been on tetracyclines (antibiotics), it's recommended to wait 10 days before your session.
Clients with uncontrolled diabetes should refrain from laser treatments, and anyone with diabetes should consult their physician prior to booking. We also cannot treat individuals with uncontrolled seizures.
For any other health concerns or conditions, we strongly advise consulting with your healthcare professional before proceeding with laser hair removal to ensure the treatment is safe and suitable for you. Your health and safety are our top priority!
If you're taking antibiotics, we recommend waiting 10 days after completing your course before scheduling laser hair removal. If you've used Accutane in the past, it's advised to wait at least 1 year before undergoing laser treatment. Additionally, any medications that are photosensitizing (increasing sensitivity to light) are not suitable for laser treatments. For your safety, always check with your pharmacist or healthcare provider to ensure you're following the safest practices before booking your session.

Planning Your Laser Around Sun Exposure
When planning your laser hair removal around sun exposure and self-tanner, it's important to consider the timing for optimal results.
Post-treatment sun exposure is safe after about 3-5 days, but to ensure the best outcome, it's recommended to laser 7-10 days before a beach vacation or significant sun exposure. This allows the dead hair in the follicle to slough out properly and reduces the risk of irritation.
To protect your skin, avoid sun exposure and use intentionally mineral-based sunscreen to prevent tanning for 2-3 weeks before your appointment. Additionally, avoid using self-tanner before your treatment, as it can create safety risks.
We can treat tanned skin, just not recently tanned skin. If the sun incident resulting in a tan is more than 2 weeks ago, we can safely laser. If the area being treated has been covered by clothing or a mineral based sunsblock prevented a tan, we can safely laser.
