GentleMax Pro vs Fotona Avalanche
GentleMax Pro combines two wavelengths in one platform: the 755 nm alexandrite laser, which is strongly absorbed by melanin and well suited to lighter skin with darker hair, and the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser, which penetrates deeper and is generally preferred for darker skin tones. It includes cryogen cooling for comfort. Fotona Avalanche is a separate laser hair removal platform from Fotona; the doctor can explain at consultation which device is most suitable for your hair and skin, and why its prices differ.
Number of sessions
Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective on hairs in the active growth phase. That is why a course of typically 5–8 sessions, spaced 4–8 weeks apart, is recommended. Facial areas may need sessions closer together, and some people need occasional maintenance. Results are a long-term reduction rather than a guarantee of permanent removal.
Skin-type suitability
Laser works best when hair is darker than the surrounding skin. Very light blonde, grey, white or red hair contains little pigment and usually responds poorly. With the Nd:YAG wavelength, many darker skin types can be treated; the doctor chooses the wavelength and settings after assessing your skin. Avoid tanning before treatment.
Preparation and aftercare
- Shave the area about 1 day before; do not wax, pluck or epilate for several weeks before.
- Arrive without lotion, deodorant or makeup on the area.
- Afterwards, avoid hot baths, saunas and intense exercise for about a day, and use sunscreen on exposed areas.

Laser Hair Removal FAQ
How much is laser hair removal in Busan?
At Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon, first-visit prices per session start at ₩1,000 for women’s upper lip or underarm on GentleMax Pro and go up to ₩199,000 for a men’s Brazilian on Fotona Avalanche, excluding VAT. A numbing spray option costs ₩5,000.
How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?
Most people need about 5–8 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart, because the laser only affects hairs in the active growth phase. The exact number depends on the area, hair colour and thickness, and hormones.
What is the difference between GentleMax Pro and Fotona Avalanche?
GentleMax Pro combines a 755 nm alexandrite laser, suited to lighter skin, with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser, suited to darker skin, plus cryogen cooling. Fotona Avalanche is a different hair removal platform; the doctor advises which device fits your skin and hair at consultation.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction, and many people see significantly less regrowth after a full course. Some hairs may return over time, so occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.
