Candela GentleMax Alexandrite & Nd:YAG Laser System

The Candela GentleMax is a high-performance, dual-wavelength laser platform that integrates two of Candela’s gold-standard technologies—the 755 nm Alexandrite laser and the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser—into one powerful, reliable system. Built for efficiency and versatility, this early-generation GentleMax model remains a trusted solution for practitioners seeking dependable results in laser hair removal, vascular, and pigmented lesion treatments.

Although it predates the GentleMax Pro series, the 2010 model delivers excellent clinical efficacy, making it a popular choice for med spas, dermatology practices, and aesthetic clinics seeking proven results with cost-effective performance.

Key Features:

Alexandrite Laser Component (755 nm):

• Precision Hair Removal for Light to Medium Skin Tones:
  The Alexandrite wavelength is specifically effective for targeting melanin in the hair shaft, making it the gold standard for permanent hair reduction in Fitzpatrick skin types I–III.

• Large Spot Sizes for Speed and Coverage:
  Spot sizes up to 18 mm allow for fast treatment of large areas such as legs, back, and arms—reducing session time and increasing patient throughput.

• Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD):
  Built-in cryogen spray cooling enhances comfort and safety by protecting the epidermis during treatment, reducing the need for topical anesthetics.

• Touchscreen Controls with Preset Parameters:
  Offers straightforward operation with adjustable settings tailored to hair type, skin tone, and lesion characteristics.

• Dual-Wavelength Capability:
  While the Alexandrite laser treats light skin types, the integrated Nd:YAG laser expands treatment options for darker skin tones and vascular conditions, ensuring all skin types can be treated safely.

Clinical Applications (755 nm Alexandrite):

• Permanent hair reduction for skin types I–III
