GentleLASE (755nm Alexandrite Laser):
- Best for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III)

- Fast treatment times with cooling spray for comfort
GentleYAG (1064nm Nd:YAG Laser):
- Safe for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI)
- Penetrates deeper, minimizing risk of pigmentation issues
- Effective for deep-rooted or finer hairs and sensitive skin
Typical Treatment Schedule:
- Face: Every 4 weeks
- Body: Every 4 weeks
- 8-20 sessions typically needed for best results, with occasional top-ups
Precare and Aftercare Instructions
PRE CARE
LASER HAIR REMOVAL PRE-CARE (Before Each Session):
Shave the Area:
- Shave 12–24 hours before your appointment (not the same day if you have sensitive skin).
- Do not wax, pluck, thread, or use hair removal creams for 4–6 weeks before treatment—the follicle must be intact.
Avoid Sun Exposure:
- No sunbathing or solariums for 2 weeks before.
- Avoid spray tans, fake tans, or gradual tanners on the area for at least 7 days.
No Active Skincare:
- Discontinue retinol, acids, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, or vitamin C on the area 3–5 days before.
Clean Skin Only:
- Come with no lotions, deodorants, perfumes, oils, or makeup on the treatment area.
Medications & Health:
- Inform your therapist if you’re on antibiotics, Roaccutane, or have any health changes or new medications.
- Some meds make your skin more light-sensitive.
AFTERCARE
LASER HAIR REMOVAL POST-CARE (After Each Session):
Keep It Cool & Calm (24–48 Hours):
- Apply cool compresses, aloe vera, or post-laser gel to soothe.
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, spas, steam rooms, and exercise.
No Irritants:
- Avoid perfumed products, deodorants, exfoliants, or active ingredients on the treated area for 2–3 days.
No Sun Exposure:
- Use SPF 30–50 daily if the area is exposed to sunlight.
- Stay out of sun/tanning beds for 2 weeks.
Shedding is Normal:
- You may notice “shedding” of treated hair after 1–3 weeks. Gently exfoliate with a soft mitt or cloth to assist this process (only after 5–7 days).
Avoid Hair Removal Methods:
- No waxing, plucking, or threading between sessions—only shaving.
General Tips:
- Results build over time—6–8 sessions usually needed.
- Hormones, medications, and genetics can affect outcomes.
- Keep a consistent schedule for best results.
