18 Aug 7 Things You Didn’t Know About Laser Hair Removal
(and Why the GentleMax Pro Is a Game-Changer)
For many people, hair removal feels like a never-ending cycle — shaving, waxing, plucking, repeat. But what if you could break free from it altogether? That’s where laser hair removal comes in. And not all lasers are created equal.
Here in Cornwall, I use the Candela GentleMax Pro, one of the world’s leading medical-grade laser systems. Having worked in the beauty industry since 2015, I’ve expanded my treatments over the years to include advanced laser technology — and I chose the GentleMax Pro because it’s recognised globally for its exceptional results.
If you’ve ever wondered whether laser hair removal is for you, here are a few surprising things you might not know.
1. It’s not just about smooth skin
Yes, silky skin is the main draw — but laser hair removal can also help reduce ingrown hairs, irritation, and even skin darkening caused by constant shaving or waxing. Many clients tell me their skin looks healthier overall.
2. The GentleMax Pro works on more skin types than older lasers
Older lasers often weren’t suitable for everyone. The GentleMax Pro combines two powerful wavelengths, which means it can treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types safely and effectively.
3. It’s quicker than you think
We’re not talking hours of lying still. With the GentleMax Pro, I can treat areas like the underarms in minutes. Even larger areas, such as legs or back, are surprisingly fast thanks to the laser’s speed.
4. Comfort is built in
One of the standout features of the GentleMax Pro is its dynamic cooling device. This technology soothes the skin with a burst of cooling before each pulse of the laser, making treatments far more comfortable than you might expect.
5. Results are long-lasting
Unlike shaving or waxing, which give temporary results, laser hair removal targets the follicle itself. That means smoother skin that lasts, with many clients noticing a dramatic reduction in regrowth after just a few sessions.
6. It’s an investment in confidence (and time!)
Think of all the hours and money spent on waxing appointments or razors. Laser hair removal often pays for itself in the long run — not just financially, but in the confidence of always being “ready to go” without last-minute shaving.
7. It’s available right here in Cornwall
You don’t have to travel to London or a big city for world-class technology. As someone who has worked in the beauty industry since 2015, I’m proud to bring the GentleMax Pro to Cornwall, alongside my other cosmetic tattooing and aesthetic services.
