Laser Hair Removal in Seoul with GentleMax Pro Plus

Quick answer: Laser hair removal uses light absorbed by the pigment in hair to heat and disable the follicle, reducing regrowth over a series of sessions. AMRED Clinic in Cheongdam, Seoul uses GentleMax Pro Plus, a dual-wavelength laser combining 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG with a 26 mm spot and DCD™ cooling, so settings can be tailored from light to dark skin types.

What is GentleMax Pro Plus laser hair removal?

GentleMax Pro Plus is an upgraded hair removal laser that pairs two wavelengths in one system. Compared with the previous model, it offers more power, a shorter pulse duration for fine hair and a larger 26 mm spot, so broad areas can be covered faster. AMRED lists both GentleMax Pro and GentleMax Pro Plus in its device lineup.

AMRED also uses the same dual wavelengths for folliculitis, pigmentation and redness, which often follow years of shaving or waxing.

How does laser hair removal work?

Hair grows in cycles, and the laser works best on hairs in the active growth phase, when the follicle is still connected to the pigmented shaft. Melanin in the hair absorbs the light, turns it into heat and passes it to the follicle, reducing its ability to regrow. This is why a series of sessions is typically needed.

  • 755 nm Alexandrite – strongly absorbed by melanin, usually favored for lighter skin and finer hair
  • 1064 nm Nd:YAG – penetrates deeper and is absorbed less by the skin surface, generally preferred for darker or tanned skin
  • Shorter pulse duration – AMRED notes this helps target fine hair more effectively
  • DCD™ cooling – a burst of cryogen cools the skin just before each pulse to protect it and reduce pain

Key benefits

  • Faster, more powerful hair removal across larger areas

What happens at a laser hair removal appointment?

  1. Consultation – the doctor reviews your hair, skin type and recent sun exposure.
  2. Preparation – the area is usually shaved beforehand (the clinic will advise when), then cleansed.
  3. Settings – wavelength, energy and pulse duration are chosen for your skin.
  4. Treatment – the 26 mm handpiece glides across the area, with DCD™ cooling before each pulse.
  5. Soothing & scheduling – calming care, aftercare advice and a session plan that follows your hair growth cycle.

What is the aftercare for laser hair removal?

Mild redness and small bumps around follicles are common for a few hours to a day. Treated hairs may seem to keep growing before they shed over the following weeks. General guidance:

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning, and use sunscreen on exposed areas
  • Do not wax, pluck or thread between sessions, as the laser needs the follicle intact; shaving is usually fine
  • Skip hot baths, saunas and intense exercise for a day or so
  • Moisturize with gentle products and avoid exfoliants for a few days

Your doctor will advise on the interval between sessions and aftercare for your skin.

Laser Hair Removal (GentleMax Pro Plus) FAQ

How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?

Several sessions are usually needed because hair grows in cycles. Your doctor sets the number and interval at consultation.

Does laser hair removal with GentleMax Pro Plus hurt?

Most people feel a quick snap of heat. The patented DCD™ cooling system sprays cryogen before each pulse to protect the skin and reduce pain.

Is GentleMax Pro Plus safe for dark skin?

AMRED states that its dual wavelengths are tailored to each skin type, treating light to dark skin. The 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength is generally the one favored for darker skin.

Can laser hair removal help with folliculitis or ingrown hairs?

AMRED lists folliculitis among the concerns GentleMax Pro Plus addresses, and reducing hair often reduces ingrown hairs.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

It is generally described as long-term hair reduction rather than total removal. Some hairs may regrow finer, and occasional maintenance sessions may be suggested.
