Candela GentleMax Pro Plus

What is Candela GentleMax Pro Plus?

The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus represents the pinnacle of laser technology, combining two powerful wavelengths - Alexandrite (755nm) and Nd:YAG (1064nm) - in one advanced system. This dual-wavelength capability allows us to safely and effectively treat all skin types and target pigmentation at various depths.

As the gold standard in laser treatments, the GentleMax Pro Plus delivers superior results for skin depigmentation, removing age spots, sun damage, freckles, and other pigmented lesions, all whilst maintaining the highest safety standards across all skin types.

How Does GentleMax Work?

The system uses selective photothermolysis - precisely targeting melanin in pigmented lesions whilst protecting surrounding healthy tissue:

Alexandrite 755nm

Ideal for lighter skin types (I-IV), excellent for targeting superficial pigmented lesions, age spots, and sun damage

Nd:YAG 1064nm

Safe for darker skin types (IV-VI), effective for deeper pigmentation and treating melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Dynamic Cooling Device

Integrated cooling system protects the epidermis and maximises comfort during treatment, allowing safe treatment of all skin types

Treatment Process

Consultation

Comprehensive skin assessment to evaluate pigmentation type, depth, and skin type. We discuss your treatment goals and create a personalised depigmentation plan with appropriate wavelength selection.

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Treatment area is thoroughly cleansed. Protective eyewear is provided. Cooling gel may be applied for additional comfort. The appropriate wavelength is selected based on your skin type and pigmentation depth.

Laser Treatment

Precise laser pulses target the pigmented lesions, selectively destroying melanin whilst protecting surrounding tissue. The integrated Dynamic Cooling Device ensures comfort throughout. Treatment duration varies from 15 minutes to 1 hour depending on area size.

Post-Treatment Care

Immediate cooling and soothing gel application. Detailed aftercare instructions provided. Treated areas will darken initially, then peel over 7-14 days as the body naturally eliminates the treated pigmentation.
