GentleMax cost comparison,

don't choose based on price alone

.

💡 Before reading

please check first

Q. Isn't GentleMax the same machine no matter where you get it?

Can't you just compare the price?

A. No. GentleMax also comes in several models,

and even with the same model, the energy settings and

the operator can produce completely different results.

Q. Then is the expensive place always better?

A. Not necessarily.

What matters is not the price but

the machine model, settings, and operator.

💡 Dr. Wi Youngjin's

key insight

You should not choose based only on laser hair removal price.

Depending on the machine model, energy settings, and whether the doctor performs the procedure directly,

the results can be completely different even at the same price.

Beautystone uses GentleMax Pro Plus

with direct doctor-performed treatment,

delivering clear results without wasting sessions.

What is GentleMax?

GentleMax Pro Plus is

a dual-wavelength laser hair removal device that implements

two wavelengths, Alexandrite (755nm) and Nd:YAG (1064nm),

in one machine.

The Alexandrite wavelength has a high melanin absorption rate,

so it works effectively even on fine hair in lighter skin,

while the Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deep into the skin

and is used for darker skin tones or thicker hair roots.

Unlike the commonly mentioned 'GentleLase' and 'GentleYAG',

GentleMax is the version equipped with both wavelengths,

and among them, 'Pro Plus' is the latest generation model.

Why do results differ

even with the same GentleMax?

— Three things to look at

before price

To be honest,

this part can be a bit sensitive to explain.

But after seeing several hundred cases,

there's something I became certain of.

This is a common misconception,

but many people think that if it says

'GentleMax,' then it's all the same machine.

But here's what's important.

GentleMax has several versions, from older models

to the latest Pro Plus,

and even with the same Pro Plus, the results vary completely

depending on how the energy settings are used.

If the energy is used too weakly,

hair can grow back like peach fuzz,

and if it's too strong, there is a risk of burns.

In the end, the real reason hair removal succeeds or fails is

the doctor's judgment in adjusting the energy

while reading the skin type and hair thickness.

👨‍⚕️ Dr. Wi Youngjin's key summary

When comparing laser hair removal costs,

don't look only at the price.

① Is the model the GentleMax Pro Plus,

② Does a doctor directly judge the energy settings,

③ Is the procedure performed directly by a doctor

These three factors determine the result.

Then what 기준 should you

use to choose?

❓ Frequently asked questions

Q1. How much difference is there

between the GentleMax Pro Plus and the older model?

A. There are differences in output stability and cooling performance.

The Pro Plus also has a larger spot size, so

it can cover the same area more evenly.

Q2. How many sessions are usually needed, and

how should the cost be calculated?

A. On average, consider 6 to 8 sessions as the 기준.

What matters is that you should look at 'price per session × expected number of sessions.'

It is often much cheaper in total

to finish in 6 sessions at a place with better results.

Q3. Are there any precautions before and after the procedure?

A. Within 2 weeks after the procedure

you should avoid strong sun exposure.

Also, for 4 weeks before and after the procedure,

please avoid waxing or using hair removal cream.

Hair roots need to remain for the laser to work properly.

Shaving is fine.
