GentleMax Pro Plus® Laser Hair Removal in Fredericton, NB

GentleMax Pro Plus® laser hair removal at Pure Laser and Aesthetics delivers permanent hair reduction using two wavelengths, Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm), so we can match the laser to your skin and hair. A cooling spray fires with every pulse to protect your skin, and large spot sizes make big areas like the back and chest faster to treat.

What is the GentleMax Pro Plus®?

The GentleMax Pro Plus® is a professional hair removal laser from Candela and the premier system in the Gentle Pro™ Series. It offers the widest range of spot sizes and the shortest pulse durations in the series. Shorter pulses help treat finer hair, and larger spots cover more skin with each pulse.

How does laser hair removal work?

The laser’s light is absorbed by melanin, the pigment in the hair follicle. That light becomes heat, which damages the follicle’s ability to grow new hair without affecting the surrounding skin. This process is called selective photothermolysis. A burst of cooling spray accompanies each pulse to protect the skin surface and ease discomfort.

Alexandrite laser hair removal (755 nm). High melanin absorption makes this wavelength a strong match for lighter skin tones and finer hair, such as on the face and underarms.

What is an Nd:YAG laser? An Nd:YAG laser emits 1064 nm light, a longer wavelength that reaches deeper into the skin. That makes Nd:YAG laser hair removal well suited to darker skin types and coarser hair.

At your consultation, we choose the wavelength and settings for your skin and hair.

Laser Hair Removal for Men

Men are a large part of our laser hair removal clientele. Male hair tends to be denser and coarser, treatment areas are often bigger, and every client wants a different result. We plan around the look you want.

The areas men ask about most

  • Back and shoulders. Hard to shave or wax on your own. Large spot sizes keep these sessions moving.
  • Chest and abdomen. Remove it completely or keep a lighter, natural look. Tell us which, and we will plan for it.
  • Neckline and cheek line. Clean borders without daily shaving.
  • Beard area. Reduce growth for easier shaving, or define your beard line.
  • Arms, underarms, and legs. Common for athletes and anyone tired of upkeep.

Razor Bumps and Ingrown Hairs

‍Can laser hair removal help with razor bumps and ingrown hairs?

Yes. Men with coarse or curly hair often develop pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), the razor bumps that appear when shaved hairs curl back into the skin. Fewer hairs means less to shave and less to grow inward. Candela lists PFB among the conditions the Gentle Pro™ Series treats, and the Nd:YAG wavelength suits the darker skin types where PFB is more common.

A note on maintenance. Male hair growth is influenced by hormones, so dormant follicles can wake up over time. Some men schedule occasional touch-ups after completing their series.
