Laser Hair Removal Candela
Laser Hair Removal Candela
Dual laser system for all skin types
Science & Technology
The Candela GentleMax Pro combines two wavelengths — the 755 nm Alexandrite and the 1064 nm Nd:YAG — in a single platform. This dual-wavelength approach treats all skin types (Fitzpatrick I–VI) safely and effectively. Laser energy targets the melanin in the hair follicle, heating it to destroy the bulb without damaging surrounding tissue.
