The technology

How Candela GentleMax Pro works

Candela GentleMax Pro is a professional laser system designed for long-term reduction of unwanted hair growth — not for permanent removal.

01

Two wavelengths

A 755 nm Alexandrite laser and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser in one system. The specialist chooses settings for your skin phototype, hair colour and hair structure.

02

Light becomes heat

Laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and converted into heat, which damages the follicle structures responsible for further hair growth.

03

Cooling before every pulse

The integrated Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) releases a brief burst of cryogen just before each laser pulse. It helps protect the skin surface and makes treatment more comfortable, even in sensitive areas.

04

Why a course of sessions

The laser works best on hairs in the active growth phase, so a course is needed for a visible, lasting result. The number of sessions is set individually.

Session flow

What happens at a session

Every session follows the same steps, with the settings adjusted to you.

  1. 01

    Assessment

    The specialist assesses your skin phototype, hair characteristics and the area to be treated.

  2. 02

    Individual settings

    Laser parameters are adjusted for your skin, your hair and the treatment area.

  3. 03

    Treatment

    The skin is treated systematically with a series of laser pulses, with DCD cooling before each one. You may feel brief warmth or mild tingling.

  4. 04

    Aftercare

    After the session the specialist gives personalised skincare recommendations. Downtime is minimal: you can quickly return to your usual routine.

Laser hair removal aims at long-term reduction of hair growth, not permanent removal. The number of sessions and the treatment parameters are determined individually.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does laser hair removal remove hair for good?

It is designed for long-term reduction of unwanted hair growth: over a course, the amount and density of hair go down gradually. After the initial course, the result can be maintained with occasional maintenance treatments.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your skin phototype, the treatment area and how your hair grows. The laser works on hairs in the active growth phase, so a course is needed; the specialist determines the number of sessions individually.

What does a session feel like?

Before each laser pulse the DCD system releases a short burst of cryogen to cool the skin, which makes treatment more comfortable, even in sensitive areas. You may feel brief warmth or mild tingling.

Is it suitable for my skin and hair?

The specialist decides that after assessing your skin phototype, your hair and the treatment area. Two wavelengths make it possible to choose settings for different skin phototypes, hair colours and hair structures.

Why do people choose laser hair removal?

To reduce unwanted facial or body hair for a long-lasting result — for example when hair grows back quickly after shaving, when there is a tendency to ingrown hairs or irritation after shaving, or simply to remove hair less often.

What results can I expect?

Over the course, hair becomes less noticeable and the skin stays smooth for longer, so you need to shave less often. Less frequent shaving means less irritation, and laser hair removal can help reduce ingrown hairs.

How is the price calculated?
