Candela has developed a broad range of laser platforms covering different aesthetic and dermatological applications. Its Gentle Pro range, for example, includes systems using 755nm Alexandrite and/or 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelengths, depending on the model.
The Gentle Pro range is designed for professional laser hair removal and a range of additional skin treatments. Candela's systems include the GentleYAG Pro, GentleLase Pro, GentleMax Pro and GentleMax Pro Plus.
