FAQs

What makes the Candela GentleMax Pro 2022 the gold standard in laser hair removal?

The Candela GentleMax Pro 2022 is recognized as the #1 dermatologist-recommended laser worldwide, built on over 20 years of clinically proven performance. This latest evolution combines dual wavelengths—755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG—allowing safe, effective treatment across all Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI, from the fairest to darkest complexions. The system features short pulse durations that successfully treat even fine, residual hair, larger spot sizes up to 24mm for faster coverage, and higher repetition rates for more efficient treatments. Most importantly, its patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) uses cryogenic cooling gas synchronized with each pulse—a technology no other laser can match—providing superior comfort and skin protection while enabling optimal treatment results.

Is laser hair removal with the GentleMax Pro painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a quick rubber band snap, but the GentleMax Pro 2022's patented Dynamic Cooling Device significantly minimizes discomfort. Unlike systems that use simple air cooling, the DCD delivers cryogenic cooling gas in perfect synchronization with each laser pulse, cooling and protecting the epidermis before, during, and after treatment. This allows technicians to use higher energy levels for better results while keeping you comfortable throughout the session. Treatment times are also fast—small areas like the upper lip take just minutes, while medium areas like underarms typically take 10-15 minutes. There's no downtime, so you can immediately return to your normal activities.

How many treatments will I need to see permanent hair reduction?

While individual results vary, most clients begin noticing significant hair reduction after 3-4 treatments. The GentleMax Pro 2022 is FDA-cleared for permanent hair reduction, which means long-term, stable reduction in hair counts. Because hair grows in different cycles and only hair in the active growth phase can be effectively treated, multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are necessary to target all follicles during their growth phase. Most clients achieve optimal results with 6-8 treatments, though some may need additional sessions depending on hair thickness, color, and the treatment area. After completing your series, any hair that does grow back will be finer and lighter in color.

Can the GentleMax Pro safely treat all skin tones?

Yes! The dual-wavelength technology of the GentleMax Pro 2022 is specifically designed to safely treat all Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI, including darker and tanned skin. The 755nm Alexandrite wavelength is ideal for lighter skin tones and is highly absorbed by melanin for excellent results on finer hair. The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin, making it the safest option for darker complexions and tanned skin. During your consultation, True Laser Spa's experienced technicians will assess your skin type and hair characteristics to customize the appropriate wavelength, spot size, and settings for your unique needs. However, it's important to avoid sun exposure and tanning for 4 weeks before treatment to prevent any changes in skin pigmentation that could affect results.

What should I expect during my first visit to True Laser Spa New York?

Your journey begins with a consultation where experienced technicians will assess your skin type, hair characteristics, and discuss your goals to create a customized treatment plan. They'll explain how the GentleMax Pro 2022 works, set appropriate expectations, and answer any questions. Before treatment, ensure you've shaved the area 12-48 hours prior (don't wax or pluck), avoided sun exposure for 4 weeks, and come without makeup, lotions, or deodorant on the treatment area. During the session, you'll wear protective eyewear while the technician uses the laser with the Dynamic Cooling Device for your comfort. Afterward, your skin may appear slightly red (similar to mild sunburn), but this typically fades within 24 hours. True Laser Spa's clean, comfortable environment and friendly staff ensure you feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door.
