The Candela GentleLASE is one of the most versatile lasers currently available to the aesthetic community and has single handedly set the standard for laser hair removal. While it seems that laser technology has been around forever, in reality the first lasers were introduced to consumers a little over a decade ago in 1998. Laser aesthetics have come a long way since then but throughout this time span there have remained some constants, one being the GentleLASE laser. The Candela GentleLASE is an Alexandrite laser that is currently being used worldwide to perform a wide variety of non-invasive aesthetic procedures. With its large spot size and fast repetition rate, this innovative laser has the capability to treat patients faster and more effectively than any other aesthetic laser machine currently available.

One of the reasons why the GentleLASE is so often used for aesthetic procedures is because of its Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD). The DCD is unique to Candela lasers (no other hair removal laser has it) and is in place to cool and protect the outer layers of skin against thermal injury, as well as make treatments more comfortable for patients. With its unique cooling device in addition to all of its other unique features, the Candela GentleLASE is one of the safest and most effective lasers utilized by laser practitioners today.

The Candela GentleLASE is highly versatile because it is a high energy long-pulse laser that can treat most skin types and a variety of skin conditions. While most often used for laser hair removal, this technology is also widely used for skin rejuvenation and the treatment of pigmented lesions and vascular lesions.

Hair Removal – Removing unwanted hair with the Candela GentleLASE can greatly benefit those men and women with lighter skin types. The 755nm wavelength of this laser is best for those with lighter skin tones and darker hair. The speed and versatility of its18mm spot size allows for fewer laser pulses which results in faster treatments and quicker, more successful results.

Skin Rejuvenation – As we grow older our skin starts to show signs of everyday wear and tear—the most prominent of which are wrinkles and fine lines. Skin rejuvenation treatments with the GentleLASE laser are designed to promote the natural growth of collagen beneath the skin for a smoother, tighter, younger look and feel. A series of GentleLASE skin rejuvenation treatments can take years off your look.

Vascular & Lesions – Those men and who suffer with vascular lesions such as hemangiomas, spider veins, venous lakes or blue facial veins or pigmented lesions such as sun spots, age spots, sun induced freckles or melasma can find relief in the Candela GentleLASE. The longer wavelength of the Alexandrite laser (when compared to pulse dye lasers) is much more effective for treating deeper vascular lesions and noticeable pigmented lesions. After undergoing treatment patients notice a significant change in the prominence of both vascular and pigmented lesions, and after a series of treatments they notice fantastic results that last.

There are many forms of hair removal currently available, both temporary and permanent, but none are as safe, effective and long lasting as laser hair removal. There are many remedies available that can help remove unwanted hair today and the GentleLASE is one of the best.
