The Candela GentleMax Pro’s laser beam passes through the deeper layer of the skin and is absorbed in the hair follicle. This in turn produces an adequate amount of heat energy and destroys the hair follicle, resulting in permanent hair removal. 

For skin rejuvenation treatments, the Candela GentleMax Pro’s laser energy stimulates the production of collagen, resulting in skin cell renewal. This process replaces old skin cells with new, healthy skin cells, resulting in healthier, radiant, and younger-looking skin.  

Its increased power, speed, and larger spot sizes allows them to treat more patients in less time.  Patients also love it because it is effective and comfortable. The patient is treated in a comfortable room where they will lie down. They will wear protective glasses that filter out the laser light. The procedure will begin with pulses of laser energy. The GentleMax Pro Plus emits cooling spray before each laser pulse to protect the skin. How long the procedure takes will depend on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas take just a few minutes, while larger ones may take close to an hour.  

For best results, the GentleMax Pro Plus requires multiple sessions — sometimes as many as 6 sessions. Each session targets the hair follicle and works to disable its ability to produce new hair. Hair can still grow back, but it will take much longer than before.
