Thunder MT vs GentleMax Pro

| Feature | Thunder MT | GentleMax Pro | |---|---|---| | Wavelength Firing | Simultaneous (Mixed Tech) | Sequential / Selectable | | Spot Shape | Square (no overlap) | Circular (20% overlap required) | | Max Spot Size | 24x24mm | 24mm round | | Cooling | Air | DCD Cryogen | | Used Price | $45K-$75K | $25K-$65K |

The Mixed Technology Advantage: By combining Alex and Nd:YAG in a single pulse, the Thunder MT can treat fine, light hair on darker skin types more safely and effectively than using either wavelength alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a square spot better?

Circular laser spots require the operator to overlap pulses by 20% to avoid missing areas (leaving "zebra stripes" of hair). A square spot tiles perfectly on the skin, meaning zero overlap is required. This increases treatment speed by 20% and reduces the risk of overlapping burns.
