✨ HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL ACTUALLY WORK? ✨
Ever wonder what’s happening beneath the skin during your laser hair removal treatment?
At The Zap Shack Laser Hair Removal, treatments are performed using the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus — an advanced dual-wavelength laser system designed to safely and effectively treat a wide range of skin tones.
⚡ Here’s how it works:
The laser delivers a controlled pulse of light that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair. That light energy is converted into heat and travels down the hair shaft to the follicle, where it damages the structures responsible for future hair growth.
The goal? Progressively reduce the follicle’s ability to produce hair.
🌱 Why do you need multiple treatments?
Laser is most effective when hair is in the active growth phase (anagen) because the hair is still connected to the structures we want to target. Since only a portion of your hairs are in this stage at any given time, a series of properly spaced treatments is needed to catch new hairs as they enter their active growth phase.
❄️ What makes the GentleMax Pro Plus different?
The GentleMax Pro Plus combines Alexandrite 755 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm wavelengths, allowing treatment settings to be customized based on skin tone, hair characteristics and treatment area.
It also features Candela’s Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™), which delivers a short burst of cryogen to the skin immediately before the laser pulse to help protect the skin and make treatments more comfortable.
With each properly timed session, you may notice:
• Less hair growing back
• Finer and lighter regrowth
• Slower hair growth
• Fewer ingrown hairs and razor bumps
• Smoother skin with less shaving and waxing
✨ Laser hair removal isn’t just about removing the hair you see — it’s about targeting the follicle responsible for producing it.
Professional treatments. Advanced technology. Affordable pricing.
