Just wanted to say that I had my first gentleyag session on lower legs. I think it was 18mm on 28j. It took about 20 min or so. It felt like a crazy blowdryer on my legs but the pain wasn’t that awful. Probably because I’m really a better alex laser candidate. I had some red marks all over my legs that subsided in the evening. Will keep you updated! Right now I am a big fan of the cryon cooling thing in the gentleyag!!!
i think pulse width was 2. does that make sense? i forgot to ask but i looked at the machine as i was sprinting out to my next appt.
i did a look back on my phone call log to get a better sense of the time it took. i think it was about 25 min total. eek? it didn’t feel like she missed anything major, but then it is hard to gauge when yer legs are reacting to the heat. i do have small calves and the deal didnt include knees, but i guess that still seems crazy fast? it was sort of like getting stamped in vertical rows, and it seemed to make sense at the time.
take care and thanks
Pulse width would have been 3ms and up. So that’s not right.
Why did you go with a Yag over alex btw? Are you looking for a complete reduction? Those settings are almost max, which means you can handle good alex settings too.
25 mins for the entire legs sounds way too fast. It usually takes 1-1.5 hours.
Let us know how shedding goes. She may have missed a lot of spots. If she did, ask for a touchup at 3 weeks.
