GentleMax Pro is Candela's FDA-cleared dual-wavelength laser, combining an Alexandrite laser for lighter skin and an Nd:YAG laser safe for darker skin. It delivers fast permanent hair reduction across all skin tones and also treats pigmented spots and facial veins, with built-in cooling and no downtime.
GentleMax Pro is Candela's dual-wavelength laser, pairing an Alexandrite (755nm) laser ideal for lighter skin with an Nd:YAG (1064nm) laser that's safe for darker skin tones. That combination lets a provider treat virtually any patient for fast, effective permanent hair reduction, and the same platform also treats pigmented spots and vascular concerns like facial veins and redness. Its dynamic cooling spray keeps treatment comfortable, with quick sessions and no downtime.
For a practice, GentleMax Pro is a versatile capital investment that handles hair removal plus pigment and vascular treatments from one device, maximizing ROI and the candidate pool across all skin tones. As with all hair removal, the revenue is in the series; previewing the smooth result and packaging the full course — while using the platform's range to cross-sell pigment and vascular treatments — drives the most value.

Common questions patients ask about GentleMax Pro — and what practices should be ready to answer.
The Alexandrite (755nm) laser is ideal for lighter skin, while the Nd:YAG (1064nm) laser is safe for darker skin tones. Having both lets a provider treat virtually any patient and also address pigment and vascular concerns.
The same platform treats brown pigmented spots and vascular concerns like facial veins and redness, in addition to permanent hair reduction.
Typically a series of about 6–8 sessions spaced weeks apart, since hair must be treated during its active growth phase.
