The Candela GentleLASE system safely and effectively treats a wide variety of cosmetic skin conditions that before now were difficult or impossible to treat. Our GentleLASE laser technology is known for its ability to provide permanent hair reduction for light to medium skin types, as well as treatment capabilities for freckles, sun damage, and wrinkles.

For many years lasers have been used to treat a variety of cosmetic conditions including treatment of facial and leg veins, age spots, and rejuvenating the skin on the face. The GentleLASE System, a revolutionary long-pulse high energy alexandrite laser (755nm) emits a gentle beam of red light that harmlessly passes through the skin where it is absorbed by the target. The target in the skin during laser hair removal is pigmentation in the hair follicle. Grey, light blond, and red hair can’t be treated with lasers for hair removal. The laser energy is transformed into heat, destroying the hair, and leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.

The skin is further protected during treatment by a Dynamic Cooling Device™ where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin cooling the upper layers and providing patients with increased comfort. The GentleLASE selectivity helps to protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair, vascular or pigmented lesion, or wrinkle.

The GentleLASE alexandrite laser can not be used on tanned skin or skin of color. It is very important to let your technician know if you have received any tan from the sun or tanning bed throughout the course of your treatment. Spray-on tans should be avoided 7 days prior to treatment.
