Laser Hair Reduction
Shaving, waxing, plucking, and ingrown hairs can be frustrating, time-consuming, and expensive over time. Laser hair removal offers a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for reducing unwanted hair while leaving your skin smoother and healthier.
At Elite Wellness & Beauty Spa, we use the GentleMax Pro Plus by Candela, one of the world’s most advanced laser hair removal systems. Combining Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser technologies, it safely and effectively treats all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI), making it suitable for both lighter and darker skin tones.
Whether you’re looking to remove facial hair or treat larger areas of the body, GentleMax Pro Plus delivers fast, comfortable, and exceptional results with minimal downtime.

How the Treatment Works
​
Hair grows in different cycles, and laser treatment is most effective when the hair is in its active growth phase (anagen).
​
The GentleMax Pro Plus delivers a concentrated beam of laser energy that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair shaft. The energy travels down to the hair follicle, where it heats and damages the follicle responsible for future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
​
Because only hairs in the active growth phase respond to treatment, multiple sessions are required to target all follicles as they cycle through growth.
​
The GentleMax Pro Plus also features Candela’s advanced Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™), which sprays a burst of cooling cryogen onto the skin immediately before each laser pulse. This enhances comfort while helping protect the skin during treatment.

What to Expect After Treatment
​
Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear slightly pink or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually resolves within a few hours.
Over the following 1–3 weeks, treated hairs gradually shed from the follicles. This is a normal part of the process and does not mean the hair is growing back.
As treatments progress, hair becomes:
-
Finer
-
Lighter
-
Softer
-
Less dense
-
Slower to grow
After completing the recommended treatment series, most clients experience a significant long-term reduction in hair growth. Occasional maintenance treatments, typically once or twice a year, may be needed to maintain optimal results, particularly for hormonally influenced areas such as the face.
Preparing for Your Appointment
​
For the safest and most effective treatment:
-
Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment.
-
Avoid waxing, tweezing, threading, or electrolysis for at least 4 weeks before treatment, as the laser requires the hair follicle to be present.
-
Avoid tanning, self-tanners, and excessive sun exposure before and after treatment.
-
Wear sunscreen daily on treated areas that are exposed to the sun.
-
Inform your practitioner of any medications or recent changes to your health, as some medications can increase light sensitivity.
