6 Reasons Patients Choose Cleo for Medical Hair Removal
GentleMax Pro Plus
only


At our clinic, we use only GentleMax Pro Plus, the latest model in the Gentle series.
The Gentle series is a device approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare with a very high hair removal effect. It uses thermal destruction for thorough hair removal.
01
Overwhelmingly Fast Irradiation

We use our own 26 mm treatment spot to improve treatment efficiency.
Hair removal effect is maintained, while pain and burden are reduced.Treatment time is also shortened to the limit, which is recommended for busy patients.
02
No Course Expiry × Convenient Location


Our courses have no expiry date, so you can rest assured even if work prevents you from attending for a while.
Our location, 4 minutes from Shinsaibashi Station in Osaka, is also extremely convenient.
03
With the Latest Cryo
Treatment with Pain Reduced to the Limit

In addition to the cooling gas patented by CANDELA, the maker of the Gentle series, we also use the latest cryo (cold air) unit.
While reducing pain to the limit, it also lowers the risk of frostbite.
04
Dedicated Nurse System with Experienced Nurses

Our nurses are experienced professionals with advanced training in hair removal.
We also use a system in which a trained nurse is assigned to each patient:dedicated-nurse systemYour nurse carries over information such as how much hair has reduced since last time, changes in skin dryness, and how sensitive each area is to pain,optimizing the irradiation level and maximizing the hair removal effect。(※)
*Depending on your preferred schedule, a different nurse may be arranged.
05
Flexible Payment Options

In addition to course contracts, we also offerpay-per-sessionoptions.
This is suitable for patients who have completed a course at another clinic and have only a little hair left, or for those for whom a large payment is difficult.
Even with a course contract, in addition to paying in full by cash or credit card, we also offercredit card installments and medical loans.
If you are reluctant to pay the course fee up front, paying in installments is one option. (*)
*How a mid-course cancellation is handled may differ depending on your credit card company.

How Medical Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal targets hair that contains a lot of melanin pigment. The hair absorbs the light energy and converts it to heat, which spreads to the surrounding hair follicle and papilla and damages the hair tissue.
Step 1: Laser is applied to the skin
The laser is applied to skin where hair has been shaved beforehand. The heat is absorbed by the dark hair remaining in the pore and concentrates at the hair root.
Because it acts only on dark hair, there is no concern of damaging the epidermis or surrounding cells.
Step 2: The hair-growing function is damaged
The generated heat destroys the hair-producing tissue deep in the pore. Once destroyed, new hair will not be produced.
Step 3: Hair falls out
When the root of the hair is destroyed, the remaining hair falls out naturally after about 1–2 weeks. Hair will not regrow from pores whose hair-producing tissue has been destroyed.
As hair stops growing, pores also tend to tighten naturally, leaving the skin smooth after hair removal.


Equipment Used
GentleMax Pro Plus (2022 model)

Two Wavelengths in One Device
GentleMax Pro Plus combines two wavelengths, 755 nm and 1,064 nm, in a single device and is used for various areas and hair types.
- The 755 nm alexandrite laser is characterized by being readily absorbed selectively by melanin. Hair containing a lot of melanin absorbs the light energy and its tissue is damaged, which is how hair removal is achieved.
- The 1,064 nm Nd:YAG laser has a long wavelength and is absorbed less by epidermal melanin, so it can deliver laser light efficiently to deeper layers of the skin while keeping damage to the skin to a minimum.

Large Spot Size
Evolved from the previous GentleMax Pro, it can be fitted with a spot size of up to 26 mm.
By raising the repetition rate to 3 Hz, treatment time is overwhelmingly shortened even for wide areas.


Treatment Flow
Counseling
We ask about the areas you are concerned about, propose a treatment, and a doctor conducts an examination. We also explain the treatment method in detail.
For full-body hair removal, the treatment is scheduled for a separate day.
Marking
To prevent missed spots and overlapping, the treatment area is marked beforehand. Our thermal-destruction hair removal uses our own cooling system, so no gel is needed.
Irradiation
The laser is applied with overlap so there are no uneven areas.
After Treatment
After irradiation, the skin is cooled to calm it and help prevent inflammation.

FAQ
-
How long does treatment take?
-
It depends on the treatment content and areas.
It takes about 1 hour per area such as the face or VIO, and about 2 hours for full body + VIO + face.
It also varies by body size and skin condition.
Please ask us during counseling for details.
-
Is it painful?
-
Pain varies from person to person, but in some areas it feels like being snapped with a rubber band.
If you are worried, please talk to us during counseling.
-
Will one session complete hair removal?
-
Even a single session has some hair-reducing effect, but hair removal is not completed in one session.
Hair growth is reduced by about 20% with each session. Although it varies by individual, most people feel they have achieved hair removal after about 5 sessions.
-
Is there downtime?
-
Right after hair removal, the skin is dry and sensitive.
Please avoid baths and saunas on the day.
During the course and for two weeks after the last session, please take careful sun protection measures.
-
What if hair remains after the course?
-
Because GentleMax Pro Plus has a high hair removal effect, many patients complete hair removal with the 5-session course.
For full-body hair removal, we also offer an additional 3-session course for those who have completed the 5-session course, and we hold counseling based on how much hair remains.
-
Is it true that courses have no expiry date?
-
Yes. So that patients can undergo hair removal with peace of mind, our courses have no expiry date.
You can rest assured even in cases such as a sudden business trip, relocation without family, or pregnancy.To maximize the hair removal effect, we recommend visiting in line with the hair growth cycle.
Please ask our nurses for details.
-
Do you use only GentleMax Pro Plus?
-
Yes, we have introduced only GentleMax Pro Plus.
