Candela's GentleMax Pro laser is the gold standard of laser machines. Candela’s GentleMax Pro system is the culmination of the recognition of excellence for Candela’s two world renowned laser systems: GentleLASE (755 nm) and GentleYAG (1064 nm). The GentleMax Pro system contains both lasers in one physical platform and can safely and effectively treat all skin types.

​

Candela’s Laser Hair Removal treatments are the most comfortable for you because of Candela’s patented Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™), which prepares the skin for treatment by spraying the upper layer of skin with a cooling burst of cryogen milliseconds before the laser pulse.

How Laser Hair Removal Works:

​

The GentleMax Pro works by thermally damaging the hair follicle, resulting in a permanent reduction of hair growth. The laser is either attracted to the melanin in the hair, photo-selectively targeting the hair follicle with thermal energy; or, thermal energy is delivered directly to the dermis, retarding hair growth. Whilst the hair follicle experiences thermal damage, the surrounding tissue is unaffected.

​

After 1-2 weeks the treated hair simply falls out. At approximately 6 weeks the next cycle of hair becomes apparent. This new hair growth is substantially less, with fewer follicles present, and a thinner and softer re-growth than before. Subsequent treatments compound this result, permanently reducing hair growth.
