Smooth skin without the hassle of shaving or waxing.
Unwanted body hair can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and a daily nuisance. Traditional methods like razors, waxing, or creams are temporary, time-consuming, and costly over time. Laser hair removal with GentleYAG® offers a long-term solution for both men and women seeking smooth, hair-free skin—without the pain of waxing or the constant need to shave.
What Is Laser Hair Removal With GentleYAG®?
Laser hair removal is a safe, non-invasive treatment designed to eliminate unwanted hair by targeting and disabling hair follicles. GentleYAG® laser technology delivers precise pulses of therapeutic heat that safely damage hair roots without affecting surrounding skin. This prevents future hair growth while preserving skin integrity.
This FDA-approved treatment is highly effective on many body areas including the face, arms, underarms, back, chest, bikini area, and legs.
Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Most people are excellent candidates for laser hair removal. While the treatment generally works best on individuals with light skin and dark hair, advancements in GentleYAG® technology have made it safer and more effective for a wider range of skin tones and hair types.
Your specialist may perform a patch test to determine how well your hair responds. GentleYAG® does not use ionizing radiation, so there’s no risk of DNA or cellular damage.
How Is Laser Hair Removal Performed?
-
A laser pulse delivers targeted heat to the hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface.
-
The GentleYAG® system features a Dynamic Cooling Device™ that releases a cooling mist just before the laser pulse, significantly minimizing discomfort.
-
Most treatments take 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the area.
Because hair grows in cycles (growth, transition, and shedding), multiple sessions are necessary to target all follicles during their active growth phase.
Most patients require six to eight sessions, spaced about six weeks apart, for optimal, long-lasting results.
What Is Recovery Like After Laser Hair Removal?
-
Mild redness or swelling may appear in the treated areas but typically resolves within a couple of days.
-
Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used for any minor discomfort.
-
Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for two weeks, and apply SPF 30+ sunscreen if sun exposure is unavoidable.
-
Visible results begin to appear in one to three weeks following each session.
What Results Can I Expect?
-
Initial results are subtle but become more noticeable with each treatment.
-
After several sessions, hair will become finer, lighter, and grow more slowly.
-
Many patients experience up to 80% hair reduction after four to six sessions.
Once complete, laser hair removal with GentleYAG® offers a virtually permanent reduction in hair growth, allowing you to enjoy smooth, confident skin year-round.
