Unwanted hair on the face and body is one of the most prevalent aesthetic issues for women around the globe! There are conventional means of hair removal. Such as shaving, waxing, and threading. But the problem is, they don’t have long-lasting effects. Laser hair removal, on the other hand, is a clinically recognized technology that offers a long-term solution to this problem.
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure. It works by targeting hair at the follicle level, helping reduce regrowth and providing smoother skin over time. As indicated by industry statistics, the worldwide laser hair removal market is projected to reach $10.96 billion by the year 2032 due to the rising demand for long-lasting and enhanced technology of the laser.
At Health & MedSpa, laser hair removal is performed by our expert professional team in our state-of-the-art facility, in a clinical, professional setting. It is to prioritize patient safety, comfort, and results. Our treatments are carried out using advanced Candela laser technology, one of the most trusted and FDA-cleared systems in the aesthetic industry.
We combine medical-grade technology with expert supervision to deliver safe, precise, and effective hair removal for both the face and body. Candela lasers are known for their ability to treat a wide range of skin tones. While minimizing discomfort. Making them an ideal choice for patients seeking reliable, long-term hair reduction.
The Candela laser hair removal is also known to have a good safety profile, accuracy, and the capability to treat a wide variety of skin tones with the least discomfort. However, what is it that makes it distinct among other laser options? Let’s explore.
What Is Candela Laser Hair Removal?
Candela laser hair removal is a cosmetic, non-invasive hair removal procedure that entails the use of high-end laser energy to strike the hair follicles at the base. A laser produces a certain concentration of light of a particular wavelength, which is absorbed in the hair by the melanin (pigment) and destroys that follicle, making hair growth in the future much slower.
The technology offered by Candela is FDA-approved, clinically tested, and intended to be used as a professional device, unlike the ones available at home or the older laser systems.
Candela Laser Technologies Used for Hair Removal
The Candela Gentle Pro Series is the most advanced evolution of laser hair removal technology and has a number of advanced systems that are intended to meet various clinical requirements:
GentleMax Pro Plus
The flagship model in the series is the GentleMax Pro Plus, which is the latest addition to Candela to the hair removal technology. It has a two-wavelength system with an Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd: YAG (1064 nm) laser inside one platform. It has larger treatment spots, decreased pulse durations, increased repetition rates, and much more energy compared to the predecessor, and enables faster treatment and better targeting of fine and residual hair.
GentleMax Pro
The GentleMax Pro was introduced more than 10 years ago as a radical technology and has become a staple of aesthetic procedures in nearly every part of the world. Similar to the Pro Plus, it is an Alexandrite and Nd: YAG laser that allows treating the various skin types and conditions. The system is also very dependable when practitioners want to achieve established performance.
GentleLase Pro
The system works using a single wavelength of 755 nm Alexandrite laser and therefore is especially well on the light-skinned person with dark hair. It has a high 24 mm spot size, which enables effective treatment of big body parts.
GentleYag Pro
This system is specifically developed with a 1064 nm Nd: YAG wavelength, which is safe and effective in the treatment of dark skin, among others, where other laser types may cause side effects.
Key Benefits of Candela Laser Hair Removal
Compared to conventional hair removal, as well as older systems of laser hair removal, Candela laser hair removal has a number of advantages:
- Proven and FDA-approved technology.
- Applicable to most of the skin tones.
- An in-built refrigeration system to provide improved comfort.
- Accelerated large area treatment.
- Reduced hair growth on a long-term basis with fewer sessions.
Clinical trials have indicated that it is possible to have up to 70-90% of hair reduction depending on the type of hair and hormonal influences.
Candela Laser Hair Removal Process
The Candela laser hair removal treatment is human-tested and scientifically proven to achieve the best outcomes and patient safety:
How It Works!
Gentle Pro laser is effective because the hair follicle is targeted by the high-intensity pulses of light energy to destroy the hair follicle, and the surrounding tissue remains unaffected.
→ The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin that is found in the hair shaft and is then converted into heat, which moves down the follicle root, effectively killing the follicle and rendering it incapable of producing hair.
Treatment Duration
→Depending on the area of treatment, individual session time is different.
Sessions usually take approximately 20 minutes, though smaller parts such as the upper lip can be carried out in a few minutes, whereas whole back or leg procedures can last as long as an hour.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Candela Laser Hair Removal?
The Candela systems are developed to cater to a wide group of people. You can be a good candidate if you:
- Carries excess facial or body hair.
- Need permanent hair removal.
- Possess light-dark skin (depending on the type of laser)
- Are in generally good health
Although laser hair removal is most effective with darker hair because melanin is absorbed, current Candela technology can be safely used to treat various skin types.
Preparing for Candela Laser Hair Removal
It is highly important to receive the maximum results and reduce the risks, which can be achieved with proper preparation:
→ Before Your Treatment
- Book an appointment with a qualified dermatologist or laser trainer familiar with Candela tech…
- Avoid any sun exposure at least 4-6 weeks before any treatment, wear sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30+ every day all over.
- Stop plucking, waxing or threading 3-6 weeks before; the laser will not work on the bare root.
- Shave the area to be treated 24 hrs before the treatment (shaving is fine since it does not harm the follicle)
- Do not use self-tanning products and spray tan.
- Stop taking retinoids or other skincare products that are photosensitizing as recommended by your provider.
- Come to your appointment with clean skin, devoid of lotions, deodorants or makeup in the treatment area.
→ During Consultation. Be open regarding your medical history, taking medicine, past hair removal surgery, and skin conditions. This assists your provider in tailoring the treatment parameters to your needs.
What to Expect During Candela Laser Hair Removal?
A thorough cleansing will be performed on the area of treatment prior to the treatment. Professionals will make sure that the Candela device is well programmed to the desired settings in order to achieve the best results.
The Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) shields the epidermis during the period of treatment by spraying the area of the treatment with a liquid cryogen coolant in advance of each laser pulse. You can feel something that is often referred to as a rubber band rubbing against the skin but it will be painful in the moment. However, it will soon dissipate.
Candela treatments are generally tolerable by most of the patients due to the built-in cooling system. Depending on the individual’s pain threshold and the part of the body, some parts of the body, such as the bikini line area, may be more painful than other parts of the body, such as the legs.
Aftercare for Candela Laser Hair Removal
- Use aloe vera gel or prescribed cooling gel in order to ease redness.
- No hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and high amounts of vigorous exercise within 24-48 hours.
- Apply fragrance-free skin products.
- Use ice packs in case of discomfort.
- Wear SPF 30+ and cover up with broad-spectrum protectors and do not stay in the sun.
- Do not scratch or pick treated portions.
- Treated hairs should be shed in a normal and natural process of 1-3 weeks-this is not hair regrowth.
- In between sessions, shaving is allowed, though no waxing, plucking or threading.
- Use non-comedogenic products.
- Do not use hot tubs and chlorinated pools in the first few days.

Candela laser hair-removal is not harmful, provided it is performed by qualified specialists, although there are some potential side effects:
- Redness and mild swelling (typically resolves within hours to a day)
- Slight skin sensitivity or tenderness
- Temporary darkening or lightening of treated skin
- Mild crusting in rare cases
