Frequently Asked Questions

The Candela GentleMax Pro is the latest technology in high-speed laser hair removal and skin Injectables. Its dual wavelength allows us to treat a multitude of skin concerns with no downtime. The system combines the power of 755 nm Alexandrite laser with 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser to provide safe, comfortable, quick, and effective cosmetic solution to a wide array of skin conditions with a single beam of laser light.

GentleMax Pro uses laser technology to deliver an intense but gentle burst of energy onto targeted areas of the skin, delivering a controlled amount of targeted therapeutic heat safely and effectively.

A treatment could take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the area and the condition being treated.

Some people have found the treatment uncomfortable. Most people find it more tolerable than waxing. But the discomfort is resolved quickly and minimized with the patented Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™) or air cooling.

The number of sessions depends on the desired treatment and the condition of your skin. But 80% of the patients see significantly reduction of the hair after 3 sessions only.

Long pulsed laser energy delivered at 3 ms closely matches the Thermal Relaxation Time (TRT) of melanocytes. Heating of the melanocytes in benign pigmented lesions causes thermal damage, resulting in removal of these types of lesions.

Sclerotherapy is the gold standard for the treatment of leg veins. The 1064 nm wavelength can clean up what sclerotherapy does not. Veins less than 2 mm in size respond best.

Most people treated don’t experience side effects and return to normal activity immediately without any adverse sign of treatment.
