GentleMax Pro Plus: Two Wavelengths, Two Outcomes

GentleMax Pro Plus: Two Wavelengths, Two Outcomes

GentleMax Pro Plus: Two Wavelengths, Two Outcomes

Real cases: how GentleMax Pro Plus matches 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG to hair and skin.

GentleMax Pro Plus: Using Both Wavelengths Doesn't Mean the Results Are the Same

The results are not the same

Let me start with the conclusion.

What matters isn't that it includes two wavelengths,

it's how you choose between them that determines the result.

I'll explain why in this article.

So what exactly is different?

GentleMax Pro Plus combines 755nm Alexandrite and

1064nm Nd:YAG, allowing these two wavelengths

to be used in one device for laser hair removal and toning.

Unlike a single-wavelength device, GentleMax Pro Plus

lets you switch wavelengths even during treatment.

That's because hair type and skin tone differ by area.

Why do some people see less effect?

The key point of this article

Because the 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG

can both be used in one device,

the optimal wavelength is chosen according to hair type and skin tone.

That means the results can differ from those of a single-wavelength device.

That is because laser hair removal depends on the wavelength

and how deep it reaches.

755nm has a high melanin absorption rate,

so it responds well to shallow, coarse hair,

but 1064nm has a longer wavelength

and reaches deeper, about 4 to 5 mm.

For hair with deeper roots, the energy from 755nm

may not reach the bottom of the follicle

and can be absorbed before it gets there.

For people with darker skin tones or tanned skin,

1064nm Nd:YAG is

much safer and more effective.

Director Wi Young-jin's key takeaway

It's not important that "both wavelengths are available,"

but rather "what you use for my hair type and skin tone"

that creates the real result.

This is how I divide it in the clinic

Type

Recommended wavelength

Reason

Light skin + coarse hair

755nm Alexandrite

High melanin absorption, so it's efficient

Dark skin / tanned skin

1064nm Nd:YAG

Reduces the risk of epidermal burns

Deep-rooted hair type

1064nm Nd:YAG

Can penetrate to a depth of 4~5 mm

With blood vessels / redness

1064nm Nd:YAG

Also reacts to hemoglobin

Mixed hair types in one area

Use a mixture of both wavelengths

Precisely treat each section separately

Just because you can use both wavelengths

doesn't mean you should mix them carelessly.

The output and cooling settings need to differ by wavelength.

Having the device alone doesn't produce results;

you need experience with the settings.

The three questions I get most often in the clinic

Q1. My skin is fairly fair—can I keep getting only 755nm?

In most cases that's fine, but areas with more melanin, like the underarms or bikini line,

are safer with 1064nm.

Using each wavelength by area is the standard approach.

Q2. How many sessions does it usually take to finish?

For underarms and arms/legs, usually 6 to 8 sessions,

and for fine hair or the bikini area, we usually plan for 8 to 10 or more.

In the end, it's more about setting accuracy than the number of sessions.

Q3. Is there anything I must be careful about after treatment?

From the day of treatment to 2 or 3 days after,

avoid direct exposure to ultraviolet light.

There is a risk of pigmentation.

I hope today's article was helpful. This has been Wi Young-jin.
