How Does the Candela Laser Hair Removal Procedure Work?
The Candela laser hair removal is the gold standard in hair removal, thanks to its uniqueness in quality and excellence. The Candela offers a variety of lasers for patients to receive specified treatment and to give laser technicians flexibility in their application. Of their many lasers, two models are recommended for laser hair removal: the Gentle Pro Series and elōs Plus. The Gentle Pro Series lasers deliver concentrated and powerful emissions of light directly to the hair follicles. It stops the hair from growing further and eliminates hair growth going forward. The elōs Plus uses something called electro-optical synergy to kill off the follicle at its base and leave you with smooth skin.
How To Prepare For Your Treatment?
To achieve the best results, follow your practitioner’s pre-treatment and also mid-treatment advice. This may include avoiding sun exposure, discontinuing certain skincare products, and shaving the treatment area if undergoing hair removal.
How Many GentleMax Pro Plus Laser Hair Removal Treatments Will I Require?
The number of GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal treatments you will need depends on the area to be treated, coarseness of the hair and the pigment of the skin and hair.
Treatment areas such as the legs, bikini area and under-arms could take 6 or more GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal treatments. Other more hormonal areas could require 8 or more treatments. Candela GentleMax Pro Plus Laser hair removal interval sessions are usually 4-6 weeks apart to effectively reduce hair growth.
During your GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal journey at All New U, Florida your laser technician will keep you updated on how many more sessions you will need and your ongoing progress.
Is there any Side Effects?
The most common side effects of GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal include:
Skin irritation: There may be temporary discomfort, redness and swelling evident in the treatment area. Any signs and symptoms typically disappear within several hours. To reduce any discomfort, apply ice to the treated area. If you have a skin reaction immediately after laser hair removal, immediately contact our office.
Pigment changes: Laser hair removal can potentially darken or lighten the affected treatment area. These pigment changes can be temporary or even permanent. Skin lightening primarily affects those who don’t avoid sun exposure before or after treatment and those who have darker skin.
Prevention is key! In order to minimize the risk of pigment changes, ensure to avoid sunlight exposure after laser hair removal and between scheduled treatments. Additionally, avoid tanning beds for a minimum of six weeks. Use a broad-spectrum 30 SPF sunscreen daily.
Rarely, laser hair removal can also cause blistering, crusting, scarring or skin texture changes. Other rare side effects include graying of treated hair or paradoxical hair growth around the treated areas, particularly on darker skin types.
