What is causing it?

  • Genetics and hormones determine where hair grows and how coarse it is.
  • Laser destroys the follicle in its growth phase, which is why several sessions are needed.
  • Nd:YAG lasers treat brown skin safely by sparing the surface pigment.
Overview

Understand the cause first.

Unwanted hair on the face and body is one of the most common reasons patients come to the clinic, and one of the most reliably solved. Laser hair removal on the Candela GentleMax Pro treats every skin tone safely: the 755 nm Alexandrite for lighter skin, and the long-pulse Nd:YAG for brown skin, which targets the follicle and spares the surface.

Six to eight sessions four to six weeks apart give long-term hair reduction on the face, underarms, arms, legs, bikini, back and chest. Hormonal hair growth is assessed and, where needed, treated medically alongside.

Yes, with the Nd:YAG wavelength the clinic uses.

It gives long-term reduction: most treated hair does not grow back, and what returns is finer and lighter. Hormonal areas may need an occasional maintenance session.
