GentleMax Pro Plus
Our laser technology
The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus.
Every laser hair removal session at CHIC is performed with the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, a professional laser platform that combines two laser wavelengths in one system. Settings are selected for your skin and hair, and Candela's cryogen cooling sprays the skin just before each pulse, so sessions feel easier and more comfortable.
- Dual wavelength755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG lasers in one platform.
- Candela cryogen coolingA burst of cryogen cools the skin before every pulse for a more comfortable session.
- Settings for youWavelength and settings chosen for your skin and hair.
- Face & bodyA range of spot sizes for small and larger treatment areas.
Why two wavelengths?
Skin and hair differ from person to person. The 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength is commonly used for lighter to medium skin tones, while the 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength reaches deeper and is commonly used for darker skin tones. Having both in one machine means your esthetician can choose the wavelength and settings that suit your skin — instead of fitting you to a single laser.

FAQ
Laser hair removal questions
Which laser do you use?
We use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, a professional dual-wavelength laser platform (755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG) with Candela's cryogen cooling (Dynamic Cooling Device™). Your esthetician selects the settings for your skin and hair at each visit.
Do I need a consultation before laser hair removal?
We recommend starting with a free consultation before your first laser session. We'll talk about your goals, look at your skin and hair, and suggest a plan that suits you. You can book your free consultation online.
How should I prepare for laser hair removal?
We'll share preparation guidelines when you book. In general, it helps to avoid tanning and direct sun exposure before your visit, arrive with clean skin free of lotions or deodorant on the treatment area, and let us know about any medications, skin concerns or recent treatments. When in doubt, ask us before your appointment.
How many laser sessions will I need?
It varies from person to person. Hair grows in cycles, so laser hair removal is usually done as a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. We'll discuss a plan suited to you.
Is laser hair removal comfortable?
Our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus uses cryogen cooling: a quick, cool spray protects and soothes the skin just before each laser pulse, which makes sessions easier and more comfortable. Comfort still differs from person to person and from one area to another, so we'll explain what to expect before your session and make sure you feel at ease throughout.
How do I book an appointment?
