Laser Hair Removal with GentleMax Pro®

Find the best way to get smooth, hair-free skin. Say goodbye to the hassle of razors, waxing strips, and ingrown hairs. At Complexions Spa, we offer a luxurious way to remove hair permanently. We use the GentleMax Pro®, known as the best in laser hair removal.

This advanced system uses two laser wavelengths. The Alexandrite laser (755 nm) works well for lighter skin tones.

The Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) is best for darker skin tones. This technology provides great results for all skin tones, from light to dark. Our expert method provides a safe and effective solution. It is a long-lasting option for those seeking alternatives to traditional hair removal methods.

For smoother legs, a clean bikini line, or less hair on your back, face, or underarms, we can help. Our certified professionals at Complexions are here for you. They will customize the experience to fit your skin type and tone.

The result? Confident, radiant, hair-free skin, and a thoroughly indulgent journey to self-care.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

The magic of the GentleMax Pro lies in its advanced laser technology and precision. This system uses light energy to selectively target melanin (the pigment in your hair) within the follicle. The light energy heats the follicle and effectively halts its ability to produce future hair growth.

  • The Alexandrite laser (755 nm) is designed to work best on lighter skin tones.

  • The Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) is optimized for darker or more pigmented skin tones.

Each pulse of the laser lasts for milliseconds. It targets many hair follicles at the same time for quick and accurate treatments.

The process is very efficient. It can quickly treat larger areas like the legs or back. Smaller areas, such as the upper lip or bikini line, take just a few minutes to complete.

Best of all? With its dynamic cooling system, the GentleMax Pro ensures your skin remains protected and comfortable throughout the treatment.

Treatment Timeline and Results

Laser hair removal with the GentleMax Pro is not just a treatment; it’s a journey toward long-lasting beauty. For most of our clients, this journey requires 4 to 8 sessions, typically spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, to address each stage of your hair’s natural growth cycle.

Why multiple sessions? Hair grows in phases. The laser can only treat hair follicles during their “active growth” phase, so repeat treatments ensure we target every follicle effectively over time.

Results You Can Expect

  • Noticeable hair reduction after just the first session.

  • Up to 90% permanent hair reduction after completing your series of treatments.

  • Softer, finer regrowth (if any) in the treated areas over time.

Preparing for Your Treatment

To ensure you achieve the best results with minimal discomfort, we recommend the following pre-treatment guidelines:

  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, or self-tanning products for 2 weeks before your session.

  • Shave the treatment area 24 to 48 hours prior to your appointment.

  • Refrain from waxing, plucking, or threading the area for at least 4-6 weeks before treatment.

Post-Treatment Care

After your session, your skin deserves a little extra care:

  • Some redness or mild swelling is completely normal—these effects usually resolve within 24 hours.

  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, and excessive sweating for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

  • Use a gentle broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your treated skin from UV rays.

Our expert team will provide you with a detailed aftercare routine to help achieve your smoothest, most glowing results.
