Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal can help you:

• Achieve long-lasting hair reduction

• Spend less time shaving and waxing

• Reduce razor burn and irritation

• Minimize stubborn ingrown hairs

• Enjoy smoother-feeling skin

• Treat both small and large areas

• Simplify your daily routine

Results are progressive, meaning you’ll typically notice less hair and slower, finer regrowth as you move through your treatment series.

Why We Chose the GentleMax Pro Plus®

Not all laser hair removal devices are the same. Isla uses the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus®, a leading professional laser platform featuring two wavelengths:

• 755 nm Alexandrite: commonly used for lighter skin tones

• 1064 nm Nd:YAG: designed to safely treat deeper skin tones

Having both wavelengths allows us to personalize each treatment based on your skin tone, hair characteristics, and treatment area.

The system also uses a Dynamic Cooling Device™, which delivers a quick burst of cooling to the skin with each pulse to protect the skin and make treatment more comfortable.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal works by directing concentrated light energy toward the pigment within the hair follicle. That energy heats and damages the follicle, reducing its ability to produce future hair while protecting the surrounding skin.

Hair grows in different cycles, and the laser is most effective when the hair is in its active growth phase. Because not every follicle is active at the same time, a series of treatments is needed for the best reduction.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients require a series of approximately 6–8 treatments, although individual needs may vary.

The total number of sessions depends on:

• Treatment area

• Hair color and thickness

• Skin tone

• Hormones

• Genetics

• Consistency with appointments

• Individual response to treatment

Treatments are generally scheduled every 4 - 8 weeks, depending on the area being treated and its natural hair-growth cycle. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed over time, particularly for hormonally influenced areas.

Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction, but it cannot guarantee that every hair will be permanently eliminated.

What Does Treatment Feel Like?

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or brief heat with each laser pulse. Some areas—particularly the Brazilian—may feel more sensitive than others.

The GentleMax Pro Plus® uses an integrated cooling system that delivers a quick cooling spray to help protect the skin and improve comfort during treatment.

Appointments can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or longer, depending on the number and size of the areas being treated.

Preparing for Your Appointment

For a safe and effective treatment:

• Shave the treatment area 12–24 hours before your appointment

• Arrive with clean skin free of lotion, oil, deodorant, or self-tanner

• Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks

• Do not wax, tweeze, thread, or epilate for at least four weeks

• Avoid self-tanner on the treatment area

• Tell us about all medications, supplements, and recent medication changes

• Let us know if you have recently used antibiotics or medications that increase light sensitivity

• Inform us of any recent procedures, skin irritation, rashes, infections, or open wounds in the area

Please continue shaving between appointments—do not remove the hair from the root.

What to Expect After Treatment

Temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling, or small bumps around the hair follicles are common and typically improve within a few hours.

For the first 24–48 hours:

• Keep the area cool and clean

• Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise

• Avoid fragranced products and harsh exfoliants

• Avoid picking, scratching, or aggressively scrubbing the skin

• Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer if needed

• Wear sunscreen on exposed treatment areas

• Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning

Treated hairs do not disappear immediately. They will gradually shed over approximately one to three weeks. This may look like continued growth at first, but the hairs are slowly working their way out of the follicles.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

The GentleMax Pro Plus® allows us to treat a broad range of skin tones. The best results are generally seen when the hair contains enough pigment for the laser to recognize.

Laser hair removal is typically most effective on brown or black hair. Blonde, white, gray, and some red hairs may not respond well because they contain very little targetable pigment.

A consultation or pre-treatment assessment allows us to evaluate your skin, hair, medical history, and goals before selecting your settings.

When Should I Wait to Be Treated?

Laser hair removal may need to be postponed if you:

• Are pregnant

• Have an active infection, rash, open wound, or significant irritation in the area

• Have recently tanned, been spray tanned in the last 6 weeks, or have a sunburn

• Are currently using certain light-sensitive medications

• Have recently waxed, tweezed, threaded, or epilated the area

• Have used self-tanner on the treatment area

• Have a tattoo in the area being treated

The laser cannot pass directly over tattoos. Your provider will leave an appropriate margin around tattooed areas.

Your safety is always our priority. Please disclose your complete medical history and current medications before treatment.
