The Technology
Candela GentleMax Pro
A medical-grade laser platform, paired with the Freddo cooling system and tuned to your skin tone and hair type, explained in plain, non-intimidating language.
Two wavelengths, one platform
The GentleMax Pro combines two laser wavelengths, so your nurse can match the treatment to your skin tone and hair type instead of using a single fixed setting.
Alexandrite 755 nm
- Ideal for light to olive skin tones
- Targets the melanin in the hair follicle
- Fast results with less discomfort
Nd:YAG 1064 nm
- Safe for all skin types
- Reaches deeper into the skin
- Ideal for darker and tanned skin
Built for precision and comfort
Dynamic cooling (DCD)
Integrated cooling protects the surface of the skin and keeps each pulse comfortable.
High peak power
Enough power to treat coarse, stubborn hair effectively.
Fast repetition rate
Pulses up to 10 Hz, so appointments move quickly.
Versatile spot sizes
Handpieces from 1.5 to 24 mm treat small, precise areas and larger ones alike.
A wide range of skin tones
Dual wavelengths make it effective and safe across skin types I through VI.
Minimal downtime

The Comfort Layer

Non-contact cooling
Cools the skin without any direct contact.
Adjustable settings
Your nurse tailors the airflow and intensity to you.
Before, during and after
Used at every stage of treatment to support comfort.
