What is GentleYAG Pro-U?
GentleYAG Pro-U is a laser with a high wavelength, allowing the light to penetrate deeper into the skin compared to other lasers, effectively addressing various skin problems. It also features DCD technology, which emits a cooling gas before the laser pulse to protect the upper skin layer from damage, resulting in no side effects.
What can GentleYAG Pro-U treat?
The United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) has certified that GentleYAG is safe and effective in treating conditions such as:
- Wrinkle treatment
- Skin tightening
- Permanent hair removal and pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB)
How does GentleYAG Pro-U help make skin smooth, firm, and wrinkle-free?
When the GentleYAG Pro-U laser light delivers heat energy to the dermis, it stimulates the production of new collagen fibers to replace the old collagen fibers that have deteriorated with age. This reduces wrinkles and naturally tightens the skin without surgery. The treatment is painless, with no wounds or dark spots afterward.
Does GentleYAG Pro-U really tighten the skin?
According to dermatological research by Mark Taylor, M.D., Douglas Key, M.D., Michael Elder M.D., Ivan Wayne M.D., and Christine Epperson, C.L.T. from the United States and Europe,
after treatment with GentleYAG Pro-U, wrinkles are reduced and skin tightening is effective, with satisfactory results for all patients.
How does GentleYAG Pro-U remove hair?
Because GentleYAG Pro-U is a laser with high light intensity that penetrates deeply into the skin, it can burn and destroy hair follicles, the source of hair growth. Therefore, GentleYAG Pro-U stands out in effectively removing hair from various parts of the body and is suitable for all skin types without damaging hair follicles. It is convenient, fast, and safe, making it a popular laser among doctors worldwide.
How effective is GentleYAG Pro-U in hair removal?
Research using the GentleYAG Pro-U laser for hair removal by dermatologists E. Victor Ross and Lori M. Hobbs in the United States found that
- In 100 patients treated, hair volume decreased by 20-40% after the first session, depending on the area treated. After completing 4 sessions, permanent hair removal can be achieved.
- Hair removal can be done on both fine and coarse hair, whereas most other lasers can only remove coarse hair but not fine hair.
How should I prepare before treatment?
Avoid strong sunlight or sunbathing for 14 days before treatment.
What is the treatment procedure like?
The doctor will apply the GentleYAG Pro-U laser to the treatment area gradually, section by section, until the entire area is covered. After the laser treatment, the skin will become smoother. The procedure takes about 10-20 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
How many sessions are needed for effective results?
For optimal results, 4-5 sessions are recommended, spaced about 3-6 weeks apart, depending on the condition being treated.
Is GentleYAG Pro-U laser treatment painful?
For wrinkle treatment, you will feel warmth in the treated area but no pain. However, for hair removal or varicose veins, patients may experience slight discomfort.
Side effects after treatment
The treated skin area may be slightly red or swollen, but it will return to normal within 24 hours. Patients can apply makeup as usual after treatment and should use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect the skin from sun damage.
