Frequently Asked Questions
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to collagen and elastin production and improved skin texture.
Why is GentleMax Pro® so effective?
It combines two fast and powerful lasers: the Alexandrite for light skin tones and the nd-YAG for darker skin tones. The lasers work by destroying hair follicles, brown spots and blood vessels through a series of treatments without harming the surrounding skin. This laser also uses a Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™), where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin a fraction of a second before each laser pulse, which provides increased comfort during treatment.
- Powerful, yet gentle for all skin types
- Ultra-fast with excellent results
- Used by over 10,000 doctors and skin professionals.
- Safe and comfortable
