Our Technology

Candela Gentlemax Pro

The Candela GentleMax Pro is an advanced laser system used for hair removal and various dermatological treatments. It combines Alexandrite and Nd laser technologies to provide precise and effective treatment for different skin types, ensuring optimal safety and results. The system is equipped with a large spot size and an integrated cooling feature to enhance patient comfort and reduce treatment time. In addition to hair removal, it can address conditions such as vascular lesions, pigmentation issues, and skin rejuvenation.

Gentle Pro lasers work by selectively targeting the hair follicle with intense pulses of light energy for thermal destruction, but without damaging the surrounding tissue. The epidermis is protected by the Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™), which sprays the treatment area before each laser pulse with a liquid cryogen coolant. This system provides a cooling protection factor over 50% greater than contact or air cooling, and can be adjusted to individual needs to make the procedure as comfortable as possible!

Gentle Pro lasers provide advanced treatments for various skin concerns, including laser hair removal, spider veins, and wrinkles. For hair removal, these lasers target hair follicles with intense light energy, ensuring thermal destruction without damaging surrounding tissue, while the Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™) applies a cryogen coolant before each pulse for over 50% better cooling protection than traditional methods, customizable for comfort. In treating facial and leg spider veins, Gentle Pro utilizes short pulses of light to effectively destroy unwanted blood vessels and vascular lesions, with liquid coolant applied before and after each pulse to protect the skin. Additionally, for wrinkles and fine lines, rapid laser pulses heat the skin to therapeutic temperatures, stimulating collagen production to improve appearance from within.

Candela Gentlemax Pro FAQ's

What can I expect during laser hair removal treatment?

Treatments take place in your practitioner’s office. Your practitioner will use a small handpiece to deliver an intense burst of energy onto targeted areas of the skin.

Can Gentle Hair Removal be done on darker skin tones?

Yes! Many laser hair removal treatments don’t cater to all skin types, but there’s a Gentle Hair Removal treatment that’s right for you, no matter your skin tone. Check with your local provider about which Gentle treatment is right for you.

How long does a Gentle laser hair removal treatment take?

A treatment can take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the treatment area and the condition being treated. Both legs can often be treated in as few as 15 minutes, as can an average-sized man’s back.

Is Gentle laser hair removal painful?

Some patients may feel slight discomfort, which has been compared to snapping a rubber band against the skin. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by our patented Dynamic Cooling Device. Be sure and talk this over with your practitioner.

How many treatments will I need?

Multiple treatments are required to achieve the full hair removal effect. The hairs on your body are not always at the same stage, so you’ll need to undergo a few treatments, an average of six to eight weeks apart, to catch them all in the growth stage.
