Hongdae Hair Removal Dermatology: What's Changed in GentleMax Pro Plus vs. GentleMax Pro?
Hongdae Nine Clinic's Dr. Lee Goeun explains what changed in GentleMax Pro Plus, including shorter treatment time, stronger cooling, and who may benefit most from it.
Hello, this is Hongdae Hair Removal Dermatology.
I'm Lee Goeun, director of Nine Clinic 🙂
When I look at the people coming in for hair removal consultations these days,
many of them say, “I'd like to get hair removal with GentleMax Pro, too.”
In recent years, the name GentleMax Pro
has become quite well known among people considering hair removal,
and along with that, the talk that “this device is good for hair removal”
seems to have spread quite a bit by now.
But if you came to read this post today out of concern about hair removal,
and you're not quite sure what exactly GentleMax Pro is,
please be sure to read through to the end.
In particular, our clinic has recently introduced
GentleMax Pro Plus, the upgraded version of GentleMax Pro,
and I'd like to share some information
about how it differs and who it suits best 🙂
Why do so many people look for GentleMax Pro at Hongdae Hair Removal Dermatology?
Of course, a well-known device
isn't always guaranteed to be the best one,
but the people who keep coming back to GentleMax Pro do have their reasons for choosing it.
For example,
▶ People whose skin became stinging and red after shaving
▶ People who developed pigmentation after waxing
▶ People who tried at-home hair removal devices but didn't see much result
People like these come to look into Hongdae Hair Removal Dermatology,
and many of them end up choosing GentleMax Pro.
The biggest reason is that it works by minimizing stimulation to the skin
while precisely heating only the hair follicle.
In short, it's a device that keeps pain to a minimum while delivering good results.
Looking at the feedback from patients who have actually been treated,
“It didn't hurt at all, more than I expected!”,
“The results are better than when I had hair removal before.”
These are the reviews I hear most often.
So what's better about GentleMax Pro Plus?
GentleMax Pro is already a very stable device,
so many clinics still use it with great results,
but with the recent release of the upgraded GentleMax Pro Plus,
our clinic has newly introduced it 🙂
And having actually used it, I can say it's a device that considers not only the practitioner's side,
but above all, offers much more consideration for the person receiving the treatment.
1. Treatment time is shorter.
Because the laser fires faster than before,
treatment time per area has been reduced by 20–30%,
and wide areas can be finished much more smoothly.
2. Sensitive areas hurt much less.
With an enhanced cooling system,
pain has dropped significantly even in sensitive areas like the underarms and Brazilian area,
and there's almost no concern about burns during treatment.
Many patients say, “I got through the whole thing comfortably without tensing up.”
3. Some people notice results a bit faster.
With improved output and a larger spot size (the area covered in a single pulse),
some people who respond quickly may be able to reduce the number of sessions.
To sum up,
▶ First-time hair removal patients who feel nervous about it
▶ People sensitive to pain
▶ People who want to clear multiple areas quickly
For these people, satisfaction tends to be much higher with the Plus version.
Director at Hongdae Hair Removal Dermatology! I've heard there's something even more important than a good device…?
The key isn't the device itself, but “the ability to read the skin.”
Hair removal devices have improved a lot these days.
So you'll probably see the name GentleMax Pro Plus
at many clinics.
But will everyone get the same results just by using the same device?
That's not the case.
That's because everyone's skin is different.
People with lighter and darker skin tones,
people with thick and fine hair,
people with sensitive skin and those without.
Each of them needs a different approach.
That's why what we consider most important
is “accurately reading this person's skin as it is right now.”
No matter how good the device is,
if we don't properly assess the skin of the person in front of us,
results can suffer, or unnecessary irritation can occur.
For example,
▶ How is this area reacting right now?
▶ Is the cooling working sufficiently?
▶ Should the output be raised a little, or lowered?
These aren't things a machine can decide on its own.
Ultimately, it's people who look at, read, and judge the skin.
Hair removal before and after: a back covered in dense hair, then the same area with the hair largely gone.
Closing Thoughts.
Today, I wrote this post
in the hope that it might be of some help to anyone considering Hongdae Hair Removal Dermatology 🙂
I believe hair removal isn't just about getting rid of hair,
but a process that helps minimize skin irritation
and makes skin care more comfortable.
If you have any more questions, feel free to come in for a consultation anytime.
“We want you to become more beautiful every single moment.”
