Is areolar hair removal safe?

The areola is a melanin-dense sensitive zone — YAG + DCD cooling is the safest combination. A trained female specialist performs low-energy, precision-spot treatment.

Concerned about arm pigmentation — can I still treat after tanning?

Yes — thanks to 1064nm YAG, treatment is relatively safe on tanned skin. We still recommend avoiding tanning 2-4 weeks before each session.

How is bra-line fine hair treated?

Using precision spots focused on fine hair; clear reduction is typically felt after 5-7 sessions.

How do I choose between Apogee Plus and GentleMax Pro Plus?

Typical skin tones and coarse hair benefit from Apogee Plus (755nm), while tanned/darker skin and sensitive areas favor GentleMax Pro Plus (1064nm YAG). We recommend after diagnosis.

When can I use deodorant after underarm treatment?

Use only non-irritating products for 24 hours; normal deodorant is fine afterward.

Do you use both wavelengths in one session?

Depending on skin condition and area, we use either a single wavelength or alternate both. Optimal protocol is designed at consultation.

What is GentleMax Pro Plus Female Upper Body Hair Removal?

The upper body presents varied concerns — underarm pigmentation, areolar sensitivity, visible arm/hand hair, broad back areas. GentleMax Pro Plus dual wavelengths allow selection of the optimal wavelength per area and skin status for safe, efficient care.

How it works

For pigmented zones like underarms and areola, 1064nm YAG minimizes epidermal stress. For large areas like arms, hands, and back, 755nm Alexandrite efficiently scans wider areas. DCD cryogen cooling at every pulse significantly reduces pain and pigmentation risk.

Wavelength strategy per area

Underarms (pigmented): YAG recommended, stable reduction in 5-7 sessions
Areola/chest area: low-energy YAG by dedicated female specialist
Full arm/hands: Alexandrite for efficient wide scans
Back/waist/bra-line: mixed wavelengths per skin type

GentleMax Pro Plus at Seye Clinic

Seye Clinic performs per-session skin diagnostics to select the best wavelength for each area, flexibly adjusting protocols for tanning or travel. Sensitive-area treatments are performed by a dedicated female specialist for comfort and privacy.

FAQ

The 1064nm YAG wavelength is less affected by epidermal melanin, allowing safe treatment of pigmented areas. Hair removal itself doesn't directly treat pigmentation, but eliminating shaving irritation can help darkening fade over time.
