The DCD cryogen-spray cooling instantly lowers the epidermal temperature, which considerably eases the sensation. Most people feel it as a light snap of a rubber band, and numbing cream can be applied for those sensitive to pain. That said, the degree of discomfort can vary from person to person.

How many sessions do I need?

Because hair goes through the growth, regression, and resting phases of the hair-growth cycle, it is difficult to manage all of it at once. We generally recommend repeating the treatment several times at 4–6 week intervals, and the number of sessions needed can vary depending on the area and hair condition.

Can I have it if I have many moles or freckles?

The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength can be applied while reducing the influence of epidermal melanin, so areas with pigment can be managed relatively safely. However, for pigmented lesions, our medical team checks them before treatment and decides whether and how to apply the laser.

Is the cooling of GentleMax Pro Plus air cooling?

No. GentleMax Pro Plus does not use air-blowing cooling; it cools the epidermis with the DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device) method, which sprays a brief burst of cryogen. By spraying cryogen just before each laser pulse, it protects the epidermis and helps reduce both discomfort and the risk of pigmentation.

Can I wear makeup right after the treatment?

Facial hair removal has almost no downtime, so you can wash your face and apply basic makeup the same day. However, temporary redness or a stinging feeling may occur, so it is best to avoid harsh products on the day of treatment. Recovery responses can vary from person to person.

How long does the treatment take?

Because the facial area is not large, it usually finishes within about 5–10 minutes. The time can vary from person to person depending on the treatment area and coverage.

Is this your concern?

😟My face has a lot of fine hair, and my makeup keeps looking patchy.

😟I worry that shaving the fine hair makes it grow back coarser.

😟I have many moles and freckles on my face and wonder if laser hair removal is safe for me.

😟My facial skin is sensitive, so I hesitate because I'm afraid of pigmentation.

😟I'd like customized treatment for specific areas like the sideburns and upper lip.

What is GentleMax Pro Plus?

GentleMax Pro Plus is a laser hair-removal system developed by Candela of the United States, combining a 755nm Alexandrite laser and a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser as dual wavelengths within a single device. Because the two wavelengths can be selected according to skin tone and the thickness and depth of the hair, it can manage a wide range of hair, from fine facial vellus hair to relatively coarse strands. In particular, its DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device) cooling system works alongside the laser to protect the epidermis, allowing it to be applied delicately even to sensitive facial skin.

How It Works

The energy emitted by the laser is selectively absorbed by the melanin pigment within the hair and converted into heat, which is transferred to the follicle that produces the hair and suppresses regrowth. The 755nm Alexandrite wavelength has high melanin absorption and suits fine hair on lighter skin tones, while the 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength reduces the influence of epidermal melanin and reaches deeper, so it can be applied relatively safely even to areas with more pigment. Just before each laser pulse, the DCD releases a brief burst of cryogen that rapidly lowers the epidermal temperature, helping to reduce both discomfort and the risk of pigmentation.

Key Benefits

Tidies facial vellus and fine hair so the skin surface feels smooth and makeup applies more cleanly.
Dual 755nm/1064nm wavelength selection allows treatment tailored to skin tone and hair condition.
DCD cryogen-spray cooling eases discomfort and epidermal irritation during treatment.
Using the 1064nm wavelength, areas with moles and freckles can be managed relatively safely.
With each session you can expect the fine hair to become thinner and less dense.

Recommended For

Those bothered by abundant facial vellus hair that makes makeup look patchy
Those who want area-specific treatment for the sideburns, upper lip, forehead, and more
Those who want longer-lasting care instead of frequent shaving or waxing
Those who have been worried about safety because of many moles and freckles
Those with sensitive facial skin who prefer a gentler cooling method

GentleMax Pro Plus Female Facial Hair Removal at Seye Clinic

Before treatment, our medical team checks your skin tone, hair condition, and the distribution of moles and freckles, then sets the 755nm and 1064nm wavelengths and energy levels to suit each individual. We combine DCD cryogen-spray cooling to treat even the sensitive areas of the face with care, and we discuss a session plan together that considers the coverage of each area and the hair-growth cycle. We also guide you through aftercare, so please feel free to ask us anything.

After the treatment, stinging, redness, burns, a hot sensation, blisters, itching, hives, oozing, inflammation, infection, acne, bleeding, pigmentation, and allergies due to individual constitution may occur.

After the treatment, avoid intense exercise that causes heavy sweating, jjimjilbang (Korean sauna), saunas, and alcohol for one week, as these can trigger inflammation.
