DOES IT HURT?
Procedures could be painful for some, but not for others. This also depends on which body area we are targeting in your treatment plan.
That said, the Gentlemax PRO Laser is equipped with cryogen cooling, so that the body area does not feel too hot. The sensation lasts for only the duration of the laser pulse, and some patients have said it feels like snapping a rubber band. We can also offer ice packs to anyone who needs them.
If the skin is too sensitive we recommend the use of topical anesthetics (2-4% lidocaine) placed an hour on the skin before treatment. Substances such as EMLA are available with a prescription, and others such as LMX-4 are available over the counter.
IS IT SAFE?
Yes!
We use only Alexandrite and YAG lasers which are safe on the skin. The only risk from these lasers is if they are shined directly into the eye. For this reason we provide protective eye glasses (ANSI Z136 Standard) and make sure that you are safe.
A result of improper treatment could be skin changes, blistering, or even burns. We always conduct a consultation, and make sure that we understand everything there is to know about your skin and hair before performing any procedure. These outcomes however are also possible if the treated area is exposed to a lot of sun after the treatment. For this reason, we refuse to work on areas that have a recent tan or burn, and recommend for you to get your treatments early, between 2-4 weeks before that summer vacation.
CAN THE LASER CAUSE CANCER?
No!
Skin cancer and melanoma is caused from ultraviolet light, like what is found on the sun. Our lasers operate using infrared light which is on the opposite side of the spectrum, and is simply directed heat.
WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?
We keep this part easy. Just shave the area that is to be treated, and make sure that it is clean. This means no lotions or creams, and we'll handle the rest.
Remember, very tan or sunburnt skin can be easily damaged so make sure that your skin is healed before an appointment. We will refuse to treat an area if it is sunburnt.
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER MY APPOINTMENT?
Don't use lotions right away, but it is OK to tweeze the area immediately following treatment. If you received a body contouring treatment then please drink plenty of water after the appointment.
