GentleYAG
Laser hair reduction suited to darker skin types.
Selected by your doctor after assessment, as one part of a personalised plan.
What does it do?
GentleYAG allows us to reduce unwanted hair safely across a wide range of skin types. It reaches the hair follicle through more deeply pigmented skin, with cooling that protects the surface - which is why it is well suited to Indian skin.
Who is it suitable for?
Patients seeking long-term reduction of unwanted hair on the face or body, particularly those with darker skin types. Very fine, light or grey hair responds poorly to any laser.
What concerns can it address?
- Unwanted facial hair
- Underarms, arms and legs
- Back, chest and other body areas
- Ingrowing hairs and folliculitis

How long is a session?
From a few minutes for a small area to around an hour for larger areas, as a course of sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart.

What is the downtime and recovery?
None in most cases. Redness and slight swelling around the follicles usually settles within a few hours.

What should you expect?
Hair reduces progressively over the course, because only hair in its active growth phase responds at each session. Laser reduces hair rather than removing it permanently, and occasional maintenance sessions are usual.
Every patient is different. Your doctor will explain what to expect for your own treatment before it begins.
Combinations, and when it may not be chosen
Where unwanted hair growth suggests a hormonal cause, medical assessment runs alongside the course. It may not be chosen for very fine or light hair, over recently tanned skin, or where a hormonal cause needs addressing first.
