Marks after shaving?
Beard hair removal
This is laser care for coarse beard hair. Before counting sessions, sort out how your skin reacted last time.
Book a consultationLaser hair removal delivers heat to the follicle with light absorbed by the pigment in the hair. GentleMax Pro Plus uses two wavelengths in one device. The manufacturer, Candela, lists a 755nm alexandrite and a 1064nm Nd:YAG, along with DCD cooling that cools the skin surface. The wavelength and the settings are decided by the medical team during your exam.
A device that picks between two wavelengths
One device holds both a 755nm alexandrite and a 1064nm Nd:YAG. Which one comes out depends on how thick and how deep the hair sits and on your skin tone.

Cooling at the surface
The manufacturer also presents DCD cooling used alongside the treatment. Energy and cooling are set while watching how your skin responds that day.

Before your consultation
What is beard hair removal?
A laser treatment in which pigment inside the hair absorbs light and passes that heat down to the root. GentleMax Pro Plus holds 755nm and 1064nm, and the choice follows from the state of your hair and skin.
Does one session finish it? How is the interval set?
It does not finish in one session. We look at the thickness and density of the hair and at your last response to set the next settings and interval, and the number of sessions needed differs from person to person.
How much does it hurt?
A brief sting and a rush of heat are both possible. Cooling strength and energy are tuned to the area and to your skin that day, yet the sensation still lands differently for each person.
Is there a risk of burns or pigmentation?
No one can guarantee complete safety. Redness and swelling are common for a while, and blisters, color change or scarring are possible though rare, so we go through your tanning history and how you responded to past sessions beforehand.
