2 A Treatment for Everyone and Every Condition What can I expect during treatment? How does it work? GentleMax Pro uses laser technology to deliver an intense but gentle burst of energy onto targeted areas of the skin, delivering a controlled amount of targeted therapeutic heat safely and effectively. How long does treatment take? A treatment could take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the area and the condition being treated. Proven safe and effective for most all skin types. Facial and Leg Veins Sun and Age Spots Treatment will take place in your practitioner s office. Your practitioner will utilize a small handpiece to deliver laser pulses onto the desired treatment area. Some patients may feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, sometimes described as a snap of a rubber band on the skin. Discomfort is resolved quickly and minimized with the patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD ) or air cooling. For some patients, a topical anesthetic may be used prior to treatment. When can I expect to see results? The number of sessions depends on the desired treatment and the condition of your skin.

Pigmented lesions are often caused by an abnormal production of melanin, which becomes visible on the skin s surface Benign Pigmented Lesion How does GentleMax Pro work? Long pulsed laser energy delivered at 3 ms closely matches the Thermal Relaxation Time (TRT) of melanocytes Heating of the melanocytes in benign pigmented lesions causes thermal damage, resulting in removal of these types of lesions Lentigines Post 2 treatments
