Men's laser hair removal in Hongdae? Why GentleMax Pro Plus works on coarse hair, plus session tips.
Men's hair removal,
if the device changes
will the results change too?
Check this first before reading
Q. I heard men's hair removal is less effective than women's
hair removal, and
does changing the device make a difference?
A. Yes, it does. Men's hair is thicker in diameter
and has darker melanin, so unless the device can deliver sufficient power,
energy won't reach deep into the follicle.
The GentleMax Pro Plus is
a device that directly solves this power issue.
Q. I heard there aren't many places near Hapjeong·Hongdae
that use this device. Why is that?
A. The GentleMax Pro Plus has high introduction costs and
is difficult to maintain, so it is a burdensome device for small clinics
to adopt.
BeautyStone is currently one of the few clinics near Hapjeong·Hongdae
that has this device.
Key points of this article
BeautyStone, which has the GentleMax Pro Plus, the most powerful hair removal device near Hapjeong Station,
removes even thick hair decisively.
What is the GentleMax Pro Plus?
GentleMax Pro Plus (GentleMax Pro Plus) is
a dual-wavelength hair removal laser equipped with
a 755nm Alexandrite laser and
a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser,
two wavelengths in one device.
Unlike conventional single-wavelength diode lasers,
its biggest difference is that, depending on skin type and hair thickness,
you can selectively combine wavelengths
as needed.
Strong output is
not everything —
the wavelength determines the depth
A point many people misunderstand is that
"raising the power improves the effect" is
not the whole story.
The core principle of laser hair removal is
selective photothermolysis (Selective Photothermolysis).
Simply put, it works by selectively heating only melanin (the pigment in hair)
to destroy the follicle.
But there is one important thing here.
The depth of the melanin-containing follicle
varies depending on hair thickness and body area.
The thicker and darker the hair, like men's underarm, chest, and arm/leg hair,
the deeper the follicles are embedded.
In these cases, a wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the skin,
1064nm Nd:YAG, is needed.
Conversely, for fine hair or shallow follicles,
the 755nm Alexandrite wavelength
works more precisely.
This is exactly why the GentleMax Pro Plus is
especially advantageous for men's hair removal.
Because it can use both wavelengths as needed,
it allows a much more strategic approach for male skin
where thick and fine hairs are mixed.
It's not simply good because it's expensive,
the wavelength difference creates these results.
Director Wi Young-jin's key summary
Men's hair is thick and deeply rooted, so
lasers with shallow penetration cannot deliver
enough energy to the follicle.
The 1064nm wavelength of the GentleMax Pro Plus
can accurately reach these deep follicles, and
when combined with 755nm depending on skin type,
it can achieve both efficiency and safety.
Men's hair removal by area —
how do you approach it differently?
Honestly, men's hair removal
varies quite a bit in difficulty by area.
Area | Hair characteristics | Mainly used wavelength |
Underarms | Thick and dark, high density | mainly 1064nm |
Back·chest | Large area, mixed thickness | combined use of 755nm + 1064nm |
Arms·legs | Medium thickness, large area | mainly 755nm |
Beard line | Very thick, deep follicles | mainly 1064nm |
Bikini | Thick hair and sensitive skin | 1064nm + enhanced cooling |
For areas like the beard, where follicles are very deep and thick,
we set the 1064nm output high from the start,
and fine-tune it step by step while monitoring skin response.
On the other hand, for areas like the arms or legs where fine hair is mixed in,
we apply 755nm first and finish only the areas where thick hair
remains with 1064nm.
However, if you manage cooling right after the procedure and
avoid friction and heat exposure for 1–2 weeks,
most people get through without any major problems.
Frequently asked questions
Q1. My skin is on the darker side,
is laser hair removal okay?
This is where
the GentleMax Pro Plus is especially advantageous.
The 1064nm wavelength responds more selectively to hair melanin than
skin melanin, making
it safe even for darker skin.
Q2. How much does it cost, and how many sessions do I need?
Generally, aligned with the hair growth cycle,
you need at least 6 sessions at 4–6 week intervals, and
for areas like the beard or chest,
it is common to need as many as 8–12 sessions.
Q3. Are there any precautions after the procedure?
Please avoid hot showers, saunas,
and intense exercise on the day of the procedure and the following day.
Also, it is important not to
pluck the hair for 2 weeks before the procedure.
That was Wi Young-jin.
