Because of this dual-laser technology, the GentleMax Pro can treat a wide range of skin types and hair colors.
The doctor will choose the laser based on your skin and hair, so the treatment stays safe and effective.
During your consultation, the doctor will select the appropriate laser settings based on your skin tone and hair characteristics to ensure optimal safety and results.
What Laser Should Be Used for Dark or Light Skin?
Laser hair removal works best when the right type of laser is matched to your skin tone. Here’s a quick look at which laser is usually used for each skin type:
| Skin Type (Fitzpatrick Scale) | Description | Recommended Laser |
| I-II | Very fair to fair skin | Alexandrite |
| III | Light brown/medium skin | Alexandrite or Nd:YAG |
| IV-VI | Olive to dark brown/black | Nd:YAG |
What Happens During the Procedure?
Before laser hair removal procedure, the practitioner will conduct a one-to-one consultation with you asking your preference, your expectations of the treatment, and examining your body if it has any active wounds on the target area. Once you are considered fit, they will guide you to the procedure room where the actual treatment will begin shortly.
Step 1: Preparing the skin
The staff in the presence of your practitioner will start preparing the skin. They will trim and clean the target area.
Step 2: Ensuring safety measurements
In order to keep your eyes protected, the staff will provide you with specialized goggles and a safety shield to protect it and the surrounding skin from laser damage.
Step 3: Procedure
The practitioner will then direct the laser device to the target area. The energy emitted from the laser is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles. As a result, the heat damages the hair follicles and reduces their ability to regrow hair. This whole procedure can take anywhere between 15-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
At the end of the treatment, the staff will apply a soothing product and you will be provided with aftercare instructions.
Aftercare Guidelines of Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Euromed Clinic’s practitioners provide some general guidelines to every candidate, undergoing laser treatment for hair. Here is a list of guidelines you need to follow after hair removal treatment:
- Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks. Use sunscreen with an SPF rating of 30 or more before walking out in the sun.
- Use a cold compress on the treated region for a few hours to reduce discomfort caused by the laser. The dermatologist may also prescribe an antibiotic cream if there is any crusting in the treated area.
- Wash the treated area gently using a mild soap. Pat the skin dry after washing for at least 48 hours after the treatment.
- Avoid wearing makeup and using deodorant, lotions, or moisturizers for a day after the laser session, especially if your skin shows signs of irritation.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
As only a portion of your hair is in the active growth phase at any given time, therefore, multiple sessions are required to target all hair follicles effectively. And this is the reason why treatments are spaced a few weeks apart so that to catch new hairs as they enter the growth phase.
Hair grows in three main stages:
- Anagen (growth phase): This is when the hair is actively growing and contains the most pigment. Laser treatment is most effective during this stage.
- Catagen (transition phase): Hair begins to detach from the follicle, making laser less effective.
- Telogen (resting phase): Hair is dormant and will eventually shed before new growth begins.
Results
The results of hair removal treatment may vary from person to person due to several factors, including hair thickness, skin type and color, laser device used in the treatment, and expertise of the practitioner. Still, you can expect a 10-25% reduction in hair after your first laser treatment as it is endorsed by the American Academy of Dermatology as well. After multiple sessions, the regrown hair may be thinner, enabling individuals to achieve optimal results.

FAQs
Is it permanent?
No, laser does not remove hair permanently, but it can effectively reduce hair growth for a specific period. Eventually, the hair will regrow, and you will need a repeat session to get a hair-free, smooth skin surface.
Does it hurt?
No, not the type of pain that you cannot tolerate as modern laser devices have built-in cooling gusts or cold tips that can make the procedure less painful than before. People who underwent this treatment describe the procedure as a rubber band snapping against the skin with each laser pulse. So, we can conclude that laser hair removal cannot hurt more than the traditional waxing or plucking.
Is it safe?
Yes, laser hair removal is safe as it depends on the type of laser device used during the treatment. If the device is FDA-approved and the practitioner is board-certified, then there should not be reservations on the “safe” status of laser hair removal.
How many sessions are required?
The number of sessions totally depends on the size of area and the laser device being used during the treatment. Generally, around 6-8 sessions, typically spaced 4-8 weeks apart can give the desired results.
