How does the Candela GentlePro Max laser work?

The Candela GentlePro Max selectively heats up hair follicles and damages their ability to grow new hair. Using a dual-wavelength system, it targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle while leaving the rest of your skin untouched. That’s why it’s so important to avoid waxing or anything that would remove the hairs from the follicles entirely before treatment. The laser needs to target the root of the hair. While the laser works to damage the hair follicles, the advanced technology also uses a cooling system. This helps keep your skin protected and enhances comfort. At your appointment, your technician adjusts the Candela GentlePro Max settings to suit your skin tone and hair color for optimal, safe results.

What does laser hair reduction feel like?

Most people say laser hair reduction feels like a quick zap, or like a rubber band snapping on the skin. The Candela GentlePro Max has a built-in, dynamic cooling system that also sends short bursts of cold air onto your skin for added comfort and safety.

What areas can you treat with laser hair reduction?

The laser hair removal device can target hair almost anywhere on the body, including: Underarms Legs Bikini line Back and chest Arms Face (upper lip, chin, jawline) Neck Shoulders During your private consultation, we evaluate the treatment area and make an informed recommendation for how many treatment sessions you’ll need for optimal results.

How many laser hair reduction sessions do I need?

Most people need at least 6 sessions for the best results. Your hair grows in cycles , and since the laser only targets hair in the growth phase of the cycle, you need more than one session to address all the hair. The hair growth cycles take about 4 to 6 weeks, so we schedule sessions for laser hair removal in Midlothian, TX, 4 to 6 weeks apart. This helps the laser target all the hair in the treatment area. After each session, clients see thinner and lighter hair, but the real results develop after they’ve completed the full treatment series.

Is laser hair reduction permanent?

Laser hair reduction is just that—a reduction. Changes in hormones can lead to a return in hair growth, so we recommend maintenance sessions once or twice a year for a quick touch-up. However, most clients enjoy smooth skin for months and even years.

Is laser hair reduction safe?

Yes, laser hair removal in Midlothian, TX, is safe when performed by a trained technician using high-quality equipment. Our Candela GentlePro Max has FDA clearance, and clinics across the country trust it for consistent, effective results. Our team of providers also has extensive experience and training using the Candela GentlePro Max on different skin tones and hair types. By staying up-to-date on the latest training and best practices, we provide comfortable, safe treatment.

Who is a good candidate for laser hair reduction?

Good candidates for laser hair reduction have unwanted hair on almost any part of the body and want long-lasting hair reduction. Unlike some laser hair removal devices, the Candela GentlePro Max is safe for all skin types, including darker skin, due to its dual-wavelength technology. However, some individuals may not be a good match for laser hair reduction. This includes patients who: Have an active infection Have a history of keloids Are pregnant or breastfeeding Have certain medical conditions or take certain medications If you’re unsure whether laser hair reduction is right for you, you can book a consultation to learn more. During that conversation, we review your medical history and make sure laser hair reduction fits your body and goals.

How long does a treatment session take?

Depending on your treatment area, laser hair reduction sessions can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. At your consultation, we develop an in-depth treatment plan and let you know how long to expect for your appointments.

What if I have a tattoo in the treatment area?

Laser hair removal in Midlothian, TX, with the Candela GentlePro Max is a safe and effective treatment. However, tattoos require special consideration. Since the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle, and tattoos contain pigment, treating tattooed skin can cause unwanted side effects. If you have a tattoo in or near your treatment area, your provider will avoid the tattooed portion and work around it with precision. This usually means leaving a small buffer zone around the tattoo to protect your skin. If you have any concerns or questions about laser hair removal and tattoos, you can talk to your provider during your consultation so they can tailor your plan to your unique needs.

Can men get laser hair reduction?

Absolutely! Men frequently get laser hair reduction to address unwanted hair on the chest, back, neck, shoulders, beard line, and more. This treatment can also help reduce ingrown hairs from shaving, soften thick growth, or simply reduce time spent on daily grooming.
