The Candela GentleLase is a laser hair removal system that uses the Alexandrite laser (755 nm), a technology that is particularly effective for the permanent removal of unwanted hair. The Alexandrite laser is suitable for people with light to medium skin tones and dark hair.
Key features of the Candela GentleLase:
- Wavelength 755 nm: This specific wavelength is ideal for absorbing melanin in the hair, making it extremely effective at destroying the hair follicle without affecting the surrounding skin.
- DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device) Cooling System: A cryogenic cooling gas is applied before each laser pulse to protect the skin from thermal damage and reduce discomfort during treatment.
- Treatment speed: The Candela GentleLase features a large spot size and high repetition rates, enabling fast treatments, especially on large areas of the body.
- Effectiveness: It is ideal for permanently reducing hair growth in various areas of the body, such as the face, arms, legs, bikini area, and back.
Benefits:
- Long-term results: After a few sessions, hair growth is significantly reduced or eliminated.
- Pain reduction: Thanks to the cooling system, the treatment is more comfortable than with other lasers.
- Safe: The technology is FDA-approved and is considered safe when administered by qualified professionals.
Limitations:
- Skin types: It is not suitable for very dark skin tones, as the Alexandrite laser is primarily absorbed by melanin.
- Hair color: Less effective on light-colored, red, or gray hair due to low melanin concentration.
Number of sessions: Typically, 6–8 sessions are required, depending on the area, hair type, and skin type.
The Candela GentleLase is widely used and is considered one of the best options for laser hair removal, delivering safe and effective results.
