This is a guide to GentleMax Pro Plus hair removal compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 1).
Many people experience soreness when shaving or plucking, or complain about the hassle of hair growing back quickly. As interest in self-care increases, both men and women are getting hair removal in a wider variety of areas.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal is known to selectively target hair follicles while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues by utilizing two wavelengths.
- It selectively acts on pigmented hair follicles.
- An air cooling device operates simultaneously to help reduce discomfort during the procedure.
- Since the device does not directly touch the skin, it can be performed hygienically.
Although it seems like a simple procedure, the thickness, density, and growth rate of hair vary by area, so it must be performed considering various variables.
Different approaches for different areas
The areas where hair removal is performed vary from person to person, and even for the same person, the characteristics of each area are different.
- Areas with thick and dense hair require a different approach than those without.
- It is generally performed multiple times at regular intervals rather than being completed in one session.
- Since there are individual differences, it is better to plan after checking the condition.
Since the appropriate approach varies depending on the area and hair condition, a consultation with Dr. Choi Byeong-geun is necessary to confirm. If you are curious about hair removal, please inquire via chat.
Performed in a comfortable environment
Since hair removal deals with sensitive areas, it is important to perform it in a comfortable and hygienic environment. If you are starting for the first time, it is better to check your condition and then decide on a direction rather than worrying alone. If you are considering hair removal, please feel free to inquire via chat consultation.
