What is Gentle YAG Pro U?

Gentle YAG is a laser with a longer wavelength, allowing light to penetrate deeper into the skin compared to other lasers. This capability effectively addresses various skin concerns. Additionally, it features DCD technology, a spray cooling system that cools the upper layers of the skin before the laser treatment, safeguarding the skin and minimizing side effects.

What can Gentle YAG treat?

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) certifies that Gentle YAG is safe and efficient in treating various : 

• Wrinkles
• skin tightening
• permanent hair removal
• pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB)
• small leg veins measuring less than 2.5 mm on both the face and body.

How does Gentle YAG contribute to smoother, firmer skin without wrinkles?

By delivering heat energy into the deep layers of the skin, Gentle YAG's laser stimulates the production of new collagen fibers to replace the old ones that naturally degrade with age. This process reduces various wrinkles and restores the skin's natural firmness without requiring surgery, causing minimal discomfort during treatment, and leaving no wounds or dark spots post-treatment.

Based on the research conducted by dermatologists such as Mark Taylor, MD., Douglas Key, MD., Michael Elder, MD., Ivan Wayne, MD., and Christine Epperson, CLT. from the United States and Europe, it has been found that post-treatment with Gentle YAG Pro-U, it is effective in reducing wrinkles and tightening the skin. Patients have reported satisfactory results after undergoing treatment with this technology.

How does Gentle YAG eliminate hair?

Gentle YAG, being a high-intensity laser capable of reaching deep into the skin, directly targets hair follicles, the origin of hair growth. This feature makes it highly effective for hair removal on different body parts for all skin types. It's a convenient, quick, and safe method without damaging the hair follicles.

Is the treatment painful?

During wrinkle treatment, you might feel a warm sensation without experiencing pain. However, in cases of hair removal or addressing leg veins, you might feel slight discomfort.

How will you feel after the treatment?

The treated area might appear slightly red or swollen, but the skin will return to normal within 24 hours. You can apply makeup as usual post-treatment and should use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect the skin from sun damage.

How effective is it in hair removal?

Research conducted by skin physicians E. Victor Ross and Lori M. Hobbs in the United States revealed that among 100 patients who underwent hair removal treatment using the Gentle YAG laser, there was a reduction in hair volume of 20-40% after the initial treatment, depending on the treated area. After completing four sessions, permanent hair removal was achieved. The Gentle YAG laser is capable of removing both thin and thick hair. In contrast, most other laser models typically remove only thick hair and are not effective in removing thin hair.
