GentleMax Pro

ND:YAG / Alex Laser is the most efficient solution for many common skincare concerns such as acne, discoloration, rosacea symptoms, and aging.  During the treatment, the laser creates a beam of high-intensity light that is absorbed by the areas of concern. Through this process, pigmentation, veins, discoloration, or uneven texture is broken down by the heat emitted by the laser. The GentleMax Pro Laser also improves skin texture by stimulating the production of collagen. This laser can be used on the face or body.

At your treatment, your technician will thoroughly cleanse your skin. Next, they will apply protective eyewear to make sure your eyes are not damaged by the high-intensity light. Finally, the GentleMax Pro Laser settings will be tailored for your unique skin and treatment goals. The laser will be applied only in the required areas. 

GentleMax treatments take about 45 minutes and are minimally uncomfortable. The laser may cause slight discomfort, but most people tolerate it well. In fact, it is regarded as one of the most comfortable laser treatments available on the market due to its built-in cooling effects. GentleMax appointments generally require less time than other similar laser treatments.

Following the treatment, you will have fully cleansed skin and can return to your regularly scheduled day.

The technology used in a GentleMax Pro Laser facial is FDA-approved and very safe. GentleMax Pro is indicated for all skin tones and types, including dark skin. GentleMax Pro is not safe to use on melasma.

GentleMax Pro is called gentle for a reason. Unlike many lasers, the side effects are minimal. Generally, there are no safety indications necessary with GentleMax Pro, but your aesthetician is trained to speak with you about any concerns they may foresee. 

If you have broken skin or infections in your treatment area, you may need to wait until you heal to use any type of laser. If you have eczema, open sores or wounds, or an active rash, GentleMax should be avoided until your skin has cleared. Pregnant or nursing women should avoid GentleMax Pro treatments.

Anyone who suffers from hyperpigmentation, dark spots, uneven skin tone or texture, or rosacea can benefit from this laser. Acne suffers can also find relief. This machine is also a good option for some people wishing to remove or decrease the look of wrinkles. This treatment can be used on every skin type and color, even dark skin tones.

Before coming in for your treatment, make sure you refrain from waxing or other hair removal services on your treatment area for at least 48 hours. Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 72 hours before your treatment. If you’re taking medication for acne or other skin concerns, speak to your doctor before you have laser treatment. Make sure you haven’t used any chemical peels on your treatment area for 4 weeks prior to receiving the laser therapy.

Following your treatment, you should be able to return to your regular schedule immediately. If you must wear makeup, please apply it extremely lightly for 24 hours. Your skin may be slightly red or swollen for a few hours up to a few days following treatment but it should not be severe. If you have vein removal, you may experience slight bruising. You will need to apply an SPF of 35+ over a moisturizer every day for 2 weeks following your treatment.

Depending on the reason you receive your treatment, you may see some immediate results. For most laser treatments, you will see more significant results within 1-2 weeks and maximum results 1-3 months following treatment. You may need additional treatments to completely resolve your issues or give you maximum results. 

In some cases such as hyperpigmentation removal and vein removal, the results could be permanent. In other cases such as in rosacea symptom treatment, symptoms may return with time. In these cases, the results usually last at least 3 years, and often longer.

The GentleMax Pro Laser is a high-speed laser that works more quickly and more efficiently than many other lasers on the market. Due to its built-in cooling technology, the treatments tend to be much more tolerable than other treatments as well. It’s also safe for dark skin colors which are often a contraindication for other lasers.
