RULES LASER

Candela GentleMax Pro

• With the Candela GentleMax Pro you benefit from an integrated medical aesthetic treatment system with advanced technology, real power and real results in permanent hair removal.
• It is adapted to skin type, hair thickness, hair color and hair growth.
• NOTE: Candela GentleMax Pro also slightly diminishes skin hyperpigmentation. You may notice your skin lightens a little (especially bikini area and underarms). However, this is not the main treatment.
• NOTE: The treatment is very bearable thanks to ZIMMER.

Number of Sessions

• The client understands that the number of treatments cannot be estimated precisely. It varies from person to person.
• Between 4 and 8 sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results.
• The number of treatments is strongly determined by the amount of hair roots, the color of your hair and skin, the thickness of your hair, the number of hairs per skin area and the area being treated.
• You can count on a 20 to 30% hair reduction after each laser session.
• There are phases of hair regrowth between sessions through the roots. It's a normal trial.
• NOTE: Clients with hormonal issues = more than 8 sessions (depends from person to person).
• NOTE: Additional sessions may be necessary for clients whose skin is not in its original condition due to tanning.
• NOTE: Paradoxical hair growth = In exceptional cases (20% = PSOC, NCAH, Crushing Syndrome and androgen-secreting tumor), especially risk on the face – laser is not recommended for downy/fine hair. It is recommended to continue laser treatment regularly on this area. The upper lip and between the eyebrows there is less risk.
• NOTE: It is also important to know that a very small percentage of people do not respond and therefore do not respond to laser treatment. We don't know in advance.

Interval

• Depending on the area to be treated, allow between 5 and 6 weeks at the start of your treatment.
• After a few treatments the delay is 7 to 12 weeks.
• NOTE: Before each session, we ask you to take photos of your hair growth so that we can assess your hair cycle.

Effect “Sautees” Sessions

• To achieve optimal results, the client must follow a treatment program.
• For clients who skip/extend sessions, it takes 2, 3 or more sessions because the process is interrupted.
• NOTE: If you stop your sessions without consultation and do not make a new appointment 2 months after your last appointment, the new prices will apply as soon as you make a new appointment.

Hair Reduction

• The client understands that he must count on a hair reduction of between 85% and 95%.
• NOTE: In an exceptional small percentage, some dark hairs may turn into white/gray hairs. In some cases, the color returns.

Maintenance Treatment

• Recommended to carry out maintenance treatment 1–2 times a year (current price list applies at this moment and no old prices).
• NOTE: We recommend maintenance 3 times per year for people with hormonal issues.

Scrub/Shave

• Between each session, we recommend exfoliating twice a week (the hair will fall out).
• Shaving a maximum of two times between sessions (do not shave during the first 2–3 weeks after the session). If you can avoid shaving, even better!

Shaving

• The client understands that with unshaven parts of the body or face, the result will be less effective or ineffective, and there is a possibility of burns.
• Lasers are not applied to areas that have not been properly shaved.
• NOTE: Shaving should be done 24 hours and hair removal cream 48 hours in advance, otherwise it may cause reactions.
• NOTE: For the face, use a trimmer or clipper. Do not use a razor or blade as this may increase hairs.

Shaving Supplement

• Clients should shave treated areas thoroughly before treatment. Otherwise, the area will not be treated or an employee will shave it (€15 charge for a small area - max 1).
• NOTE: On-site shaving is only practiced by employees and not by customers.
• NOTE: The bikini lips and/or the intergluteal fold are not shaved by employees.

Laser Glasses

• During treatment, it is mandatory to wear laser protective glasses.

Solar/Sun Bench

• No sun/tanning bed before the laser session: detan for 6 weeks.
• NOTE: After treatment, avoid excessive sunlight on the area for 2 weeks. Risk of pigment spots. (Use SPF 50)

Self Tanning Products

• Do not apply self-tanning products 6 weeks before and after treatment.

Skin Whitening Cream

• Stop 5 days before the session.
• Resume 3 days after the session.

Cosmetic Products

• No cosmetic products (deodorant, makeup, soap, creams, essential oils, etc.) on the day of treatment.
• NOTE: Only powder forms are allowed after treatment.

ODOREX or AXITRANS

• Useful for excessive sweating in underarms post-treatment.
• NOTE: Not before the session.

Facial Treatment

• No deep facial treatments 2 weeks before/after laser.
• NOTE: Superficial treatments like masks are permitted.

• For sensitive skin: avoid warm water for 2 days.
• No sauna, spa, hammam for 1 week.

Sport

• No exercise same day or next day after treatment.

Waxing, Tweezers, or Epilator

• These are not allowed in laser-treated areas as they interrupt the process.

Period

• Use a tampon during menstruation, even the last day.
• NOTE: If no tampon is used, bikini/buttocks will not be treated. A new appointment will be scheduled for the bikini.

Vitamins

• Oral hair growth vitamins interfere with laser results.
• Strongly discouraged.

Drugs

• Certain medications (antibiotics, photosensitive cream) cannot be combined with laser.
• NOTE: Inform the practitioner if taking medication.

Hormonal Zones

• Face and bikini lips are hormonal zones.

Hormones

• Hormonal imbalances, medications, puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause can cause regrowth.
• NOTE: After pregnancy/breastfeeding, often only 1–3 sessions are needed.
• NOTE: Laser not recommended during breastfeeding.

Hair Types

• Light, gray, white, blonde hair may respond less due to low pigment.

Acne/Red Spots

• May occur post-treatment, especially near the intergluteal fold.

Tattoo or Skin Damage

Risk of Burns

1. Certain medications/creams can cause burns.
