GentleMax Pro Calgary
The Candela GentleMax Pro is the gold standard in medical-grade laser hair removal. Dual-wavelength technology treats every skin tone safely and comfortably, from the fairest to the darkest.
Why the GentleMax Pro?
Most clinics use a single-wavelength laser that works well on some skin tones but not others. The GentleMax Pro combines two wavelengths in one platform, giving your technician the flexibility to match the treatment precisely to your skin type. Paired with the integrated Dynamic Cooling Device, it delivers the most comfortable, effective laser hair removal experience available in Calgary.

Best for: Fair to medium skin (Fitzpatrick I-III)
How it works: High melanin absorption for efficient targeting of dark hair in lighter skin

Nd:YAG 1064nm

Common Questions
What is the GentleMax Pro?
+
The GentleMax Pro by Candela is a dual-wavelength medical laser that combines the Alexandrite 755nm and Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelengths in a single platform. This allows your technician to treat every skin tone safely, from the fairest to the darkest, with one device.
Why is the GentleMax Pro considered the gold standard?
+
It offers two distinct wavelengths for precision matching to each client's skin type, an integrated Dynamic Cooling Device for comfort, FDA clearance for permanent hair reduction, and large spot sizes for fast treatments. It is the most versatile medical laser on the market.
Is the GentleMax Pro safe for dark skin?
+
Yes. The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deeper and bypasses melanin in the epidermis, making it one of the safest lasers available for Fitzpatrick skin types IV through VI. This is a key advantage over single-wavelength systems.
How does the Dynamic Cooling Device work?
+
Before each laser pulse, the DCD sprays a burst of cryogen onto the skin surface. This cools the epidermis instantly, protecting it from heat while ensuring the laser energy reaches the follicle. Most clients find the treatment very comfortable with no numbing cream needed.
How many sessions will I need?
+
Most clients achieve 80-90% permanent hair reduction in 6-8 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your hair colour, thickness, the treatment area, and your individual growth cycle.
How much does GentleMax Pro treatment cost?
+
At Lavish Beauty in Calgary, GentleMax Pro laser hair removal starts from just $25 per session. Popular areas include upper lip ($25), underarms ($85), Brazilian ($150), and full body ($499). See our full pricing page for details.
