CANDELA GENTLEMAX PRO LASER

This is the leading laser in the world for laser hair removal. It offers both the Alexandrite and ND:YAG laser systems.

Alexandrite Laser –Because of its high rate of melanin absorption, it is also referred to as the "Gold Standard" in laser hair removal. This laser is used on skin types 1-3 (Very fair skin to Olive Mediterranean skin).

ND:YAG Laser – This laser is the safest option for darker skin types due to its haemoglobin absorption rather than melanin. This laser is used on skin types 4-6 (Asian skin to Dark African American skin)

Therefore our technology is safe and effective for ALL skin types.

How many sessions will i need?

To achieve optimal results with Laser Hair Removal treatment, we recommend approximately 8 treatments, spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
