It's a photo I took a while ago.
The hair around the philtrum, especially near the mouth, really stands out, doesn't it? LOL
It was quite hairy and thick, so it was bothersome.
Finally, I am entering the hair removal room.
First session of hair removal
Since it's only the first session, the gentle max laser effect hasn't appeared yet. It just feels like a little bit of improvement.
Second round
Starting from the second session, the effects of Gentle Max Laser began to show gradually! It felt like the fine hairs were disappearing quickly.
3rd session
That day was a day when my skin condition wasn't very good, and the photo was taken right after the laser treatment, so it's a bit red, but still, my hair removal turned out very clean, right? After three sessions, the effects of the GentleMax Laser started to become clearly visible.
4th session
Compared to the beginning, the hair has almost disappeared now. The GentleMax Laser is very effective, isn't it?
Management method
This is a ointment I received from the dermatology clinic. I don't need to apply it every time, only when I experience redness or itching. I didn't have any itching, and when I first used it and during the third application, I noticed some redness, so I used it then, but I hardly used it afterward. The ointment quantity is quite large, so I think I can keep it and use it as needed.
Otherwise, it is important to avoid skin irritants such as saunas and jjimjilbangs, and to refrain from scratching or touching excessively.
Review
I am scheduled to receive a total of five laser treatments, and I am now on the last session. I heard that there are various types of lasers for philtrum hair removal, and among them, the GentleMax Laser is said to be very effective, so I decided to go with this one. The biggest advantage of the GentleMax Laser is that it is more delicate and powerful compared to other lasers, and it can effectively remove even the fine and thin hair on women's philtrum, which is usually more difficult to target than men's. Additionally, it is said that noticeable results can be seen after just a few sessions. Therefore, the GentleMax Laser is mainly used for philtrum hair removal because of its excellent effectiveness.
People with thick and coarse hair are said to need more than five sessions with a stronger laser, but fortunately, I was told that five sessions will be enough for me!
According to the doctor, the effects of the Gentle Max Laser are not only well observed in the philtrum area but also show immediate results on the armpits, arms, and legs, so it is widely used on other parts of the body as well.
For reference, the laser hair removal cycle for the upper lip is about once a month. The number of sessions varies by person, but usually around 5 sessions, and up to 10 sessions in some cases. The pain is minimal, and each session takes about a minute, so it's not burdensome! I hope my review is helpful for those who are interested in upper lip hair removal.
