The GentleMax Pro

Alex treats with the Candela GentleMax Pro, a medical-grade laser with two wavelengths and built-in cooling, set for your skin and hair at every session.

  1. 01

    Two wavelengths

    An alexandrite wavelength for fair to olive skin and an Nd:YAG wavelength for darker skin tones, so the treatment can be matched to you.

  2. 02

    Built-in cooling

    A burst of cooling spray protects the skin with every pulse, keeping treatment as comfortable as possible and helping reduce irritation.

  3. 03

    Gradual reduction

    Hair is reduced over a course of sessions, timed to catch each hair while it's growing. Results vary with hair colour, skin type and the area treated.

How it works

From your first consultation to smoother skin, here's what to expect.

  1. Before booking

    Consultation

    A free consultation, where Alex checks your skin type, hair colour, medical history and any previous treatments, then a patch test at least 48 hours before your first session.

  2. The day before

    Prepare

    Shave the area. Avoid waxing, plucking, sunbathing and fake tan for four weeks before, as the laser needs the hair root in place and untanned skin.

  3. On the day

    Your session

    Protective eyewear goes on, then the laser is passed over the area with cooling spray on each pulse. Small areas take minutes, larger ones up to an hour.

  4. Next two weeks

    Shedding

    Treated hairs shed over the following one to three weeks. Keep the area out of the sun and use SPF, and avoid heat for a day or two. Full aftercare.

  5. 4 weeks to 3 months

    Next session

    Sessions are spaced to catch hairs as they regrow: usually every four to six weeks on the face and upper body, and every two to three months on the lower body.

Good to know

The laser hair removal questions Alex is asked most. If yours isn't here, just ask.

Ask a question
Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser gives permanent hair reduction rather than guaranteed removal of every hair. Most people see a significant, long-lasting reduction after a full course, and the hairs that do grow back tend to be finer and lighter. Areas affected by hormones may need an occasional maintenance session.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people need 6 to 10 sessions, and facial hair usually takes more, around 8 to 10. The laser can only treat hairs while they're actively growing, and not every hair is growing at once. Hair driven by hormones may need more. Alex will give you an honest idea at your consultation.

Does it hurt?

Most people describe it as a quick snap or flick against the skin, with a feeling of warmth afterwards. The built-in cooling spray helps, and sessions on smaller areas are over in a few minutes.

Will it work on my skin and hair colour?

The GentleMax Pro has two wavelengths, so it can safely treat a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin. It works best on dark hair. Very fair, grey, white or red hair has too little pigment for the laser to target, so it may not respond. For a few white hairs, electrolysis is the better option. Alex will be honest with you at your consultation.

How do I prepare?

Shave the area the day before your session. For four weeks beforehand, avoid waxing, plucking, threading and epilating, and keep the area out of the sun and free of fake tan. Have your last sunbed session at least 14 days before your first session. Let Alex know about any new medication, as some make skin more sensitive to light.

Are there any side effects?

The most common are skin irritation, temporary discomfort, redness and swelling. Laser can also darken or lighten the treated skin, usually temporarily. That's why a patch test is always done at least 48 hours before your first session.

Is there anyone who can't have it?

It isn't suitable if you have epilepsy, during pregnancy, on tanned skin, over tattoos, or within six months of taking Roaccutane. Some medications and skin conditions mean waiting or treating around an area, so you'll complete a health form and patch test first.
