Is GentleLase Effective for Sun Damage and Moderate Acne Scarring?

A: GentleLase treats "brown" stuff.

The GentleLase is a 755nm Alexandrite laser, so it targets brown structures in the skin. It is mostly used to treat brown (or black) hair. It can also be used to target brown spots, and some brown spots are the result of sun damage. So in a sense "yes", it can be used to treat sun damage (but only the brown spots). It is not typically used for acne scarring and I would not expect it to dramatically affect acne scarring.

Cost of GentleLASE Laser Hair Removal? Is this a special kind of laser hair removal that costs more than other kinds of laser hair removal?

A: Laser Hair Removal Cost

Cost of laser hair removal depends 1) on the size of the area you are treating (larger treatment areas require more time = more expensive), 2) the geographic location you are in (New York City will probably cost more than Jacksonville).

The type of laser does not seem to be a factor in cost. Although be careful with prices that seem very low. These are expensive machines and they require expertise, and that costs money. If prices seem too low, they might be skimping on something. Only go to recommended MD's who are specially trained to do laser hair removal.
