In my office I have the GentleMax Pro machine by Candela/Syneron; I believe that this machine is gold standard in hair removal. This machine has a dual wavelength that contains the Alexandrite and the Nd:Yag technologies. Having both wavelengths allows me to treat all skin types. The Alex should be used on lighter skin types and the Nd:Yag should be used on darker skin types like Asian, Hispanic, Indian etc. This machine uses a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) technology to protect the upper layers of your skin with a cooling burst of cryogen right before the laser pulse for optimal hair removal with minimal side effects. For best treatment it is important to shave the area the night before or morning of treatment and have your treatments about 6-8 weeks apart. Most patients will require at least 5 treatments but may require more. It is best to have a consultation with a Board Certified Dermatologist to see if this procedure is right for you.For more information on GentleMaxPro click on link below:
