GentleYAG

• laser hair removal for darker skin types 

The Candela GentleYAG system safely and effectively treats a wide variety of cosmetic skin problems that before now were difficult or impossible to treat. Our GentleYAG laser technology is known for its ability to provide permanent hair reduction, regardless of skin type or color, as well as treatment capabilities for pigmented and vascular lesions, and wrinkles.

For many years lasers have been used to treat a variety of medical cosmetic procedures including treatment of facial and leg veins, age spots and rejuvenating the skin on the face. The GentleYAG System, a revolutionary long-pulse high energy laser emits a gentle beam of light that harmlessly passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.

The skin is further protected during treatment by a Dynamic Cooling Device™ where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin cooling the upper layers and providing patients with increased comfort. The GentleYAG selectivity helps to protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair, vascular or pigmented lesion, or wrinkle.

Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams provide only temporary relief. Until now, the only recognized way to remove hair permanently has been by electrolysis - which can be tedious, time-consuming and uncomfortable.

Our Candela GentleYAG system can uniquely remove unwanted body hair on all skin types and colors without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin.
