Would higher power output make a difference on the quality of the hair removal?

Question

Hello. I am treated with candela gentle pro. To my understanding, since only hairs that are in a specific stage of their life cycle are being removed, does it make a difference if as an example the power setting is set to 10 or 12 ? Thank you

Yes, higher power means more effective removal, but it's not appropriate for everyone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser hair removal expert. It will take a series of treatments to get improvement. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes, the higher the power, the more effective the laser can remove the hair. However, higher powers means more discomfort and more risks. The highest power you skin can tolerate is the best level for treating hair, while still maintaining your comfort.
