dvanced Laser Hair Removal with Candela GentleMax Pro Plus

We invested in the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, the newest generation in the GentleMax series, for lasting hair reduction across light to deep skin tones.

Laser energy is absorbed by pigment within the hair and converted into heat, targeting the follicle to reduce future growth. We chose the GentleMax Pro Plus for its adjustable settings, including a short 2 ms pulse duration that can help treat finer, pigmented hair, which releases heat more quickly. Each treatment is tailored to your skin tone and hair thickness, with integrated cooling to help protect the skin’s surface.

The 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength is typically suited to lighter skin tones, while the 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength allows us to treat darker skin tones. We select the wavelength and settings based on your skin and hair, creating a personalized approach to smoother skin.

Your complimentary consultation starts with understanding your goals and the areas you’d like to treat. We assess your skin tone, hair colour and thickness, and review your health history, medications and sun exposure. We explain expected results, pricing and how to prepare for treatment. Because laser works best on pigmented hair in its active growth phase, a series of sessions is needed. You’ll leave with a personalized plan and clear expectations.

We begin by assessing your skin and checking that the area is closely shaved. We also discuss your hair’s thickness and density to tailor the laser settings to each area. Once your protective eyewear is in place, we perform a small test spot to assess your skin’s response and help you become familiar with the sensation. When you feel ready, we carefully proceed with treatment, using cooling to protect your skin and ease discomfort. Throughout your session, we check in and take breaks whenever you need them.

Before you leave, we explain how to keep your skin comfortable and protected. Temporary redness and small bumps around the follicles are common and usually settle quickly. We guide you on gentle skincare, sun protection and when to resume exercise and activities involving heat. Treated hairs gradually shed over the following weeks. Between sessions, you can shave, but avoid waxing, plucking or threading so the hair remains available for the laser to target. We’re here to support you with any questions along the way.
