Myeongdong GentleMax Pro Plus: What Should Men Look for in Hair Removal?

Hello.

I’m Director Lee Won-jin of Kind Global Clinic, and I take the time to listen carefully to each patient’s story.

As you look into hair removal, you’ll often come across positive comments about GentleMax Pro Plus.

“It was less uncomfortable than I expected.”

“I noticed a difference quickly.”

After hearing experiences like these, you may find yourself looking for a dermatology clinic that has GentleMax Pro Plus.

However, choosing a dermatology clinic based on the device name alone can mean overlooking important factors.

That’s because even when the same GentleMax Pro Plus is used,

results can vary depending on how the treatment is planned and performed.

Today, we’ll take a look at the features of GentleMax Pro Plus

and explore why results can differ with men’s hair removal.

Myeongdong GentleMax Pro Plus: Key Points to Know

1. What are the features of GentleMax Pro Plus?

2. Why can results from men’s hair removal vary?

1. What are the features of GentleMax Pro Plus?

The features of GentleMax Pro Plus in Myeongdong can be broadly divided into two areas.

Dual wavelengths

Cooling system

First, let’s talk about its dual wavelengths. Many hair removal lasers use a single wavelength.

GentleMax Pro Plus uses two wavelengths: 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG.

Features of the 755 nm wavelength

Well absorbed by melanin, allowing for efficient destruction of hair follicles

Suitable for fair skin and dark hair

Features of the 1064 nm wavelength

Less absorption by melanin, but delivers energy to deeper hair follicles

Can be used relatively safely on darker skin

Primarily used for thick, deep-rooted hair

A key feature is that the wavelength can be selected to suit the current condition of the hair and skin.

The next feature to look at is the “DCD cooling system.”

Some older devices cool the skin by placing a chilled tip against it or applying cooling gel.

By contrast, the Myeongdong GentleMax Pro Plus, before delivering the laser,

sprays cooling gas onto the skin and then delivers the laser.

In other words, rather than cooling the skin after the laser is delivered, the skin is cooled first, and then the laser is applied.

The DCD cooling system has also been discussed in research on laser cooling technologies.

The study explains that with contact cooling, the degree of cooling can vary depending on the pressure and technique used by the practitioner.

In contrast, it notes that DCD can provide relatively even cooling by automatically spraying a set amount of cooling gas.

This allows the epidermis to be cooled quickly while delivering the necessary thermal energy to the hair follicles,

which may help reduce damage to the epidermis

according to the study.

Of course, no particular cooling method can be said to be better in every situation.

However, the Myeongdong GentleMax Pro Plus is

a device that also takes

skin-protective cooling into account

and is selected and used by medical professionals for this feature.

2. Why can results from men’s hair removal vary?

Why do results differ from person to person, even when treated with the same GentleMax Pro Plus?

The main reason is that each person’s hair characteristics and skin condition are different.

Men’s hair is often thicker and denser than women’s,

and facial hair in particular tends to grow deeper and coarser than hair on the arms and legs.

Even among men, beard thickness, density, and skin type vary.

Given these individual differences, what happens if the laser is applied in the same way to everyone?

The treatment results are bound to vary.

That’s why, before treatment, the thickness and density of the hair and the condition of the skin should be assessed,

along with which wavelength to use,

what output level is appropriate,

and what spacing to use between laser pulses.

These details need to be planned carefully.

The hair growth cycle must also be taken into account.

Hair grows through the anagen, catagen, and telogen phases, and lasers work best on hair in the anagen phase.

Treatment is therefore repeated at regular intervals to remove hairs as they enter the growth phase.

If treatments are scheduled too close together, hairs that have not yet entered the growth phase may be treated, reducing efficiency.

Conversely, if the intervals are too long, treated hairs may grow back or the treatment process may be disrupted.

Ultimately, differences in results can depend on how carefully the patient’s condition is assessed

and whether an appropriate plan is developed based on that assessment.

That’s why, when looking for a good clinic for men’s hair removal, it’s important to consider the treatment plan as well as the equipment.

Today, we looked at the features of GentleMax Pro Plus in Myeongdong and why results from men’s hair removal can vary.

Hair removal is a process that requires repeated treatments over a set period of time, following a treatment plan.

Rather than drawing conclusions after just one or two sessions, continue treatment as advised by your medical professional and monitor the changes.
