Laser hair removal for the face and body, planned by your doctor. It may help reduce hair growth; the number of sessions and results depend on your hair and skin.
GentleMax Pro Plus is a laser system by Candela that combines an alexandrite laser and an Nd:YAG laser.
At DayBeau Gangnam it is used for hair removal, which may help reduce hair growth. The number of sessions and the results depend on your hair and skin.
Laser energy is selectively absorbed by melanin, the pigment in hair, which is how hair growth may be reduced.
Skin with more melanin carries a higher risk of pigment changes, blisters, and crusting, and a longer wavelength such as 1064 nm is considered key for it, so your doctor chooses the wavelength for your skin and hair.
Your doctor decides whether the treatment can go ahead.
At DayBeau Gangnam, hair removal is never one-size-fits-all. Our doctors evaluate your skin tone, hair, and treatment areas before setting the wavelength and settings.

Face and body areas for women and men — for example underarms, upper lip, chin, sideburns, full face, arms, legs, abdomen, back, chest (men), bikini line, and Brazilian areas. Your doctor confirms the areas at the Doctor's Treatment Design.

Sensation varies by person. Topical numbing is applied under The Comfort Code when needed, and a topical numbing option is available.
Downtime varies by person and is often minimal. Many can return to daily life right away. Mild redness or warmth may appear briefly.
Any reduction in hair growth appears gradually and varies by person. Individual results vary depending on your hair, skin, and the number of sessions.
The number of sessions is set by your doctor based on your skin condition, goals, and schedule.
Yes. Skin with more melanin, and recently tanned skin, carries a higher risk of pigment changes, blisters, and crusting, so the wavelength and settings are chosen for your skin. Tell us about recent sun exposure or tanning before your session.
Some conditions mean the treatment may not be suitable — for example, pregnancy or breastfeeding, a wound, infection, or bleeding in the treatment area, a tattoo or other pigment in the area, a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device, or isotretinoin use within the past 6 months. Please tell us your full medical history before treatment; your doctor decides whether the treatment can go ahead.
Your care doesn't stop at the airport. We provide aftercare guidance in your language via your preferred channel — WhatsApp, LINE, WeChat, or KakaoTalk — with follow-up check-ins and video consultations if needed.
