What Happens Under the Skin During Laser Hair Removal with the Candela GentleMax Pro

The Science Behind the Laser 🔬

The Candela GentleMax Pro is a state-of-the-art laser system that combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths. These wavelengths allow the laser to target hair safely on different skin tones and hair types while minimizing discomfort.

Here’s how it works under the skin:

1. Targeting Melanin
   Hair contains a pigment called melanin, which gives hair its color. The laser emits light energy that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft.
   

2. Heat Transfer to the Follicle
   Once absorbed, the laser energy turns into heat, traveling down to the hair follicle. This heat damages the follicle without harming surrounding skin.
   

3. Follicle Disruption
   The heat temporarily disables the follicle’s ability to produce hair. Over multiple sessions, the follicle becomes less active, leading to permanent hair reduction.
   

4. Skin Protection
   The GentleMax Pro uses built-in cooling technology to protect your skin while delivering effective energy. This allows for safer treatment on sensitive areas and darker skin tones.

Why Multiple Sessions Are Needed

Hair grows in cycles: some hairs are in the active growth phase, while others are dormant. The laser only works on hairs that are actively growing, which is why multiple sessions are required to catch all hairs at the right time.

Consistency ensures that:

• Every hair has the chance to be treated
  

• Results are uniform and long-lasting

• Your treatment timeline is efficient
  

Why GentleMax Pro Stands Out

The Candela GentleMax Pro is one of the most advanced lasers on the market because:

• It adapts to different skin tones safely
  

• It reduces discomfort with its Dynamic Cooling Device-Cryogen system
  

• It provides fast, effective treatments with fewer missed hairs
  

This combination of precision, comfort, and safety makes it ideal for achieving smooth, lasting results.

What You’re Actually Achieving

Even though hair removal happens beneath the surface, the results are visible on your skin:

• Smoother texture
  

• Reduced ingrown hairs
  

• Long-term hair reduction
  

• Minimal irritation and downtime
  

Laser hair removal with GentleMax Pro is not just a cosmetic procedure—it’s a scientifically-backed treatment that works under the skin to give you real, lasting results.
