Key features

Advanced Laser Technology

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. 

Gentle Pro™ Technology

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

Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™)

Compatible Gentle laser systems use Candela's Dynamic Cooling Device™, which delivers a short burst of cryogen to the treatment area immediately before the laser pulse. Candela describes this as helping protect the epidermis during treatment. 

Dual-Wavelength Platforms

The GentleMax Pro and GentleMax Pro Plus combine Alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser wavelengths, providing a versatile platform for different treatment applications and skin types. 

IPL & Multi-Application Technology

Candela's Nordlys® platform combines Selective Waveband Technology (SWT®) IPL with additional laser wavelengths for applications including pigmentation, vascular conditions, skin resurfacing and hair removal. 

Picosecond Technology

PicoWay® uses picosecond laser technology and is designed for professional aesthetic applications including pigmentation and tattoo-related treatments.
