What kind of device is GentleMax Pro Plus?

It is a dual-wavelength hair-removal laser from the manufacturer Candela that uses 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelengths together, allowing the wavelength to be selected according to beard thickness and skin tone.

How is cooling performed?

GentleMax Pro Plus uses the DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device), which sprays a burst of cryogen to cool and protect the epidermis just before each laser pulse. It is not an air-cooling method.

Is the treatment painful?

A slight stinging sensation can be felt, but the DCD cools the epidermis to help ease it. How much you feel may vary from person to person.

How many sessions do I need?

Because hair grows in cycles, several repeated sessions are generally recommended, and the exact number needed may vary depending on beard density and condition.

Can I have it with darker skin?

The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength reduces the effect on epidermal melanin, so it can be applied to relatively darker skin tones. Our medical team checks your skin condition and adjusts the settings before treatment.

Can I shave right after the treatment?

Shaving is generally recommended after about 24 hours, and individual guidance is provided on the day of treatment.

Can I treat only part of the face rather than the whole?

Yes. Treatment can be planned by area, such as specific zones or a beard line, according to your preferences through consultation.

What is GentleMax Pro Plus?

GentleMax Pro Plus is a dual-wavelength hair-removal laser from the global laser company Candela. It combines a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength and a 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength in a single device, so the wavelength can be selected according to beard thickness and skin tone. It also features the DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device), which protects the epidermis with a cryogen spray, making it suitable even for hair removal on the sensitive facial area.

How it works

Laser hair removal works on the principle that melanin pigment within the hair absorbs the laser energy and converts it to heat, acting selectively on the follicle. The 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, which melanin absorbs strongly, responds efficiently to thick, dark beard hair, while the 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates more deeply and reduces the effect on epidermal melanin, allowing it to be applied to relatively darker skin tones. Just before each laser pulse, the DCD releases a burst of cryogen to lower the surface temperature of the skin, helping to ease discomfort during treatment.

Key benefits

Facial hair that shaving alone cannot manage can be addressed progressively through repeated sessions.
The 755nm and 1064nm dual wavelengths allow the settings to be tailored to beard density and skin tone.
It helps relieve the skin irritation and perifollicular pigmentation that frequent shaving can cause.
Beyond complete removal, design shaping that keeps only your preferred lines can be arranged through consultation.
DCD cryogen-spray cooling is designed to reduce the burden of treatment on the sensitive facial area.

GentleMax Pro Plus Men's Facial Hair Removal at Seye Clinic

At Seye Clinic, we review beard density, skin tone, shaving habits, and sun-exposure history together to adjust the wavelength and energy settings. Because the face is shaved often and is prone to perifollicular pigmentation and sun exposure, our medical team checks your condition and then applies the 755nm and 1064nm wavelengths as appropriate. We discuss whether you prefer complete removal or design shaping before proceeding, and we use DCD cryogen-spray cooling to help ease the treatment process.

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.
