Does the hair-removal treatment hurt a lot?

Because GentleMax Pro Plus sprays a burst of DCD cryogen to cool the skin an instant before each laser pulse, many people feel only a light stinging sensation. A numbing cream can be applied if you are sensitive to pain, and the level of discomfort may vary by individual.

Does it use air cooling?

No. GentleMax Pro Plus does not use air cooling; it uses DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device) cryogen-spray cooling, releasing a burst of cryogen an instant before each laser pulse to protect the epidermis and reduce discomfort.

How many sessions will I need?

Because the laser responds to hair in the active growth phase, we recommend 5 or more sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. The number of sessions needed may vary by individual depending on the area and the thickness and density of the hair.

Can I have it done if I already have underarm pigmentation?

The 1064nm wavelength can be applied even to relatively darker tones, so our medical team checks your skin condition and adjusts the wavelength and energy before treatment. The response may vary by individual depending on the pigmentation.

Can sensitive areas like the areola or bra line be treated?

Yes. Sensitive areas of the female upper body are also treated precisely while the epidermis is protected by DCD cooling, with the wavelength and energy carefully adjusted to each area.

Can I return to daily life right after treatment?

Most people can resume daily activities right away. Temporary redness or a warm sensation may occur, but it usually settles within a few hours to a day.

What is GentleMax Pro Plus Female Upper Body Hair Removal?

GentleMax Pro Plus is a hair-removal laser made by Candela that combines a 755nm Alexandrite laser and a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser in a single dual-wavelength platform. The two wavelengths can be selected or combined according to skin tone, hair thickness, and the characteristics of each area, making it well suited to precise hair removal across the female upper body, including the underarms, arms, back of the hands, areola, and bra line.

How It Works

The laser energy is selectively absorbed by the melanin pigment inside the hair follicle and converted into heat, which acts on the follicular tissue that produces hair and suppresses regrowth. Because the laser responds to follicles in the active growth phase, repeated sessions timed to the growth cycle are needed. Throughout this process GentleMax Pro Plus uses DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device) cooling: a burst of cryogen is sprayed onto the skin an instant before each laser pulse, lowering the surface temperature to protect the epidermis and reduce both discomfort and the risk of pigmentation.

GentleMax Pro Plus Female Upper Body Hair Removal at Seye Clinic

Before treatment, our medical team assesses your skin tone, the condition of your hair, and the characteristics of each area, then adjusts the 755nm and 1064nm wavelengths and the energy level accordingly. Sensitive areas such as the areola and bra line are treated while the epidermis is protected by DCD cryogen-spray cooling. Because outcomes and the number of sessions required can vary from person to person, we guide you through an individual plan during a thorough consultation.

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.

Please refrain from waxing, sun tanning, tanning, plucking hair, and similar activities during the treatment period.

When going outdoors, be sure to apply sunscreen, including on the treated area.

If you experience any discomfort such as blisters or oozing, please notify Seye Clinic immediately. We will take prompt action.
