How Candela GentleMax Pro Works

The system uses laser energy to target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The light energy heats up and destroys the follicle without damaging the surrounding skin, resulting in the inhibition of future hair growth. The GentleMax Pro combines:

  • Alexandrite Laser (755 nm wavelength): Best for lighter skin tones (skin types I-III) and effective on finer, lighter hair.
  • Nd:Yag Laser (1064 nm wavelength): Ideal for darker skin tones (skin types IV-VI), safely treating without causing burns or pigmentation issues.

Procedure Overview

  1. Consultation: During the consultation, a professional will evaluate your skin type and hair color to determine whether the Candela GentleMax Pro is suitable for you. They'll also discuss the number of sessions needed, which typically ranges from 6 to 8 treatments, spaced 6 weeks or more apart.
  2. Preparation: Before the procedure, the treatment area is cleansed, and the skin is marked to ensure accurate laser targeting. Shaving the treatment area the day before is recommended and plucking or waxing should be avoided for 6 weeks before the session.
  3. Laser Treatment: The device delivers short bursts of laser energy to the hair follicles while the cooling mechanism protects the surrounding skin. The GentleMax Pro minimizes discomfort, but you may feel a slight snapping sensation during each pulse.
  4. Aftercare: Patients are typically advised to avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen in the treated area. It's important not to wax or pluck between sessions, though shaving is allowed.

Results and Maintenance

  • Visible results: After each session, you'll notice a gradual reduction in hair growth. The treated hairs fall out over the course of a few days to weeks after the session.
  • Permanent hair reduction: While most patients see up to an 80-90% reduction in hair growth after completing their treatment series, maintenance sessions may be needed over time, as some hair may regrow due to hormonal changes or other factors.

Potential Side Effects

Laser hair removal with Candela GentleMax Pro is generally safe, but some side effects may include:

  • Mild redness and swelling: This usually resolves within a few hours to a day after the treatment.
  • Temporary pigmentation changes: In rare cases, patients may experience temporary darkening or lightening of the skin in the treated area.
  • Mild discomfort: Patients may feel a mild snapping or stinging sensation during the treatment, but it is generally well-tolerated.
