Targeted Areas & Concerns
The GentleMax Pro Plus is a versatile dual-wavelength platform designed to target specific chromophores (melanin and hemoglobin), allowing us to treat hair, veins, and pigment with unmatched efficacy.
Facial Hair & PCOS Growth
Precisely removes unwanted facial hair and hormonal growth without damaging delicate facial skin.
Ingrown Hairs & Razor Bumps

Body Hair (Legs, Back, Brazilian)
Rapid treatment of large areas using the massive 24mm spot size for quick, smooth results.
Spider Veins & Leg Veins
The 1064nm Nd:YAG laser targets the hemoglobin in blood vessels, collapsing unsightly spider veins and blue leg veins so they fade from view.
Sun Spots & Age Spots
The 755nm Alexandrite laser targets excess melanin, lifting sun damage, freckles, and age spots from the face, hands, and décolletage.
Facial Telangiectasia (Broken Capillaries)
Erases the tiny red broken blood vessels often found around the nose and cheeks for a clearer, more even complexion.
Laser Skin Tightening
Gentle heating of the dermis stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture and reduce fine lines without downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this treatment
It is a dual-wavelength laser platform that treats hair removal, pigmented lesions, and vascular lesions. It is considered the gold standard in aesthetic medicine for its speed, power, and safety profile.
The laser delivers a precise dose of energy to the vein. The energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to coagulate and collapse. The body then naturally reabsorbs the treated vein, clearing it from the skin's surface.
The 755nm Alexandrite wavelength targets the melanin in the spot. The pigment absorbs the laser energy and shatters. The spot will darken initially, then flake off within a few days, revealing clear skin underneath.
Yes, it offers permanent hair reduction. We typically see 80-90% reduction after a full series. Any remaining hair is significantly finer and lighter.
Vascular and pigmentation issues often clear up much faster than hair. You may see significant results in just 1-3 sessions, though this varies by the size and depth of the concern.
Yes! Alexandrite is used for lighter skin, and Nd:YAG is used for darker skin. This ensures safety for Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI with no risk of burns.
The patented Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD) sprays a cooling cryogen before every pulse, ensuring patient comfort. Most clients compare the sensation to a rubber band snap.
For hair removal and veins, there is virtually no downtime. For pigmentation, the treated spots may appear darker (like coffee grounds) for 5-7 days before flaking off.
Yes. Laser hair removal is the most effective treatment for Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (chronic ingrown hairs), as it kills the follicle so the hair cannot curve back into the skin.
For hair removal: Yes, shave 24 hours prior. For veins or pigment: No, we need to see the target, but please remove heavy hair in the area.
No, laser treatments are not recommended during pregnancy.
You must avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for 2 weeks before and after treatment to prevent adverse reactions. Always wear SPF 50+.
Yes, the GentleMax Pro Plus is highly effective at removing cherry angiomas (small red moles) often in just one quick zap.
Hair reduction is permanent. Veins and pigment that are removed are gone permanently, though new ones can form over time due to aging or sun exposure.
Yes, it is excellent for clearing the small broken capillaries around the nose and cheeks, resulting in a more even skin tone.
