Laser Hair Removal 

The Gentle Pro Series is the gold standard for laser hair removal in all Fitzpatrick skin types. It is a dual wavelength laser that combines a fast and powerful 755 nm Alexandrite laser with the 1064 nm Nd YAG laser for high performance treatment capabilities in terms of speed, efficacy, performance, safety and patient satisfaction. The GMax Pro laser machine is FDA and CE cleared. 

How does Laser Hair Removal work? 

Candela laser offers permanent hair reduction. The GMax Pro safely treats hair using light to destroy the follicle without damaging the surrounding tissue. The system uses a burst of energy and heat to target the hair follicle at the root. A cooling system known as cryogen is sprayed to the skin just before the laser pulse which leads to cooling of the skin making the treatment comfortable.
