Candela GentleLase Plus: The Revolutionary Laser Hair Removal Treatment
The Candela GentleLase Plus is a state-of-the-art laser hair removal device designed to provide long-lasting, effective hair reduction. Using advanced laser technology, the GentleLase Plus targets hair follicles directly, reducing the potential for regrowth and offering a permanent solution for unwanted hair. At Athenaeum Aesthetics, we utilize the Candela GentleLase Plus to help clients achieve smooth, hair-free skin with precision and minimal discomfort.
How Does the Candela GentleLase Plus Work?
The GentleLase Plus operates by emitting a highly concentrated beam of light that penetrates the skin and targets the melanin (pigment) within the hair follicles. Here’s a closer look at the process:
Selective Photothermolysis: The light energy from the laser is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, converting into heat. This heat damages the follicle, inhibiting its ability to produce new hair.
Customized for Optimal Results: The GentleLase Plus offers adjustable settings, allowing for treatment customization based on the patient’s skin tone and hair type. This adaptability makes it effective for a wide range of skin tones and hair colors, particularly dark, coarse hair.
Precision Targeting: The laser selectively targets hair follicles, leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. This ensures precise, effective results with reduced risk of irritation.
By focusing energy directly on the hair follicles, the GentleLase Plus achieves lasting hair reduction while keeping surrounding tissues safe.
Benefits of the Candela GentleLase Plus
The Candela GentleLase Plus is known for its high efficacy and safety, making it a leading choice in laser hair removal. Key benefits include:
Long-Lasting Results: The laser’s powerful energy reduces the potential for hair regrowth, providing a more permanent hair removal solution.
Customized Treatment: The adjustable settings allow practitioners to tailor each session to the individual’s specific skin tone and hair color, ensuring optimal results.
Minimal Discomfort: The GentleLase Plus is equipped with cooling technology that reduces discomfort, making the procedure more comfortable for patients.
Fast Treatment Time: Sessions are quick, typically lasting between 15 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
Laser hair removal with the Candela GentleLase Plus is straightforward, with minimal downtime. Here’s what you can expect:
During the Procedure: Patients may feel a mild stinging sensation as the laser pulses. To minimize any discomfort, a topical anesthetic can be applied before treatment, and the GentleLase Plus includes a cooling feature for added comfort.
Post-Treatment Care: Mild redness or swelling in the treated area is common immediately after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Patients are advised to avoid direct sunlight and apply sunscreen to protect the treated area in the days following treatment.
Multiple Sessions for Best Results: Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions (typically 4-6) are recommended to target hair during its active growth phase. Sessions are usually spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
Is the Candela GentleLase Plus Right for You?
The GentleLase Plus is ideal for individuals seeking a permanent solution to unwanted hair. It is particularly effective for:
Dark, Coarse Hair: The laser’s targeting precision makes it especially effective for dark, coarse hair, though it can also work on lighter hair colors.
Various Skin Tones: The device’s customizable settings allow for safe and effective treatment across a range of skin tones.
While the GentleLase Plus is safe for most people, those with certain medical conditions or skin sensitivities should consult with a qualified practitioner to ensure the treatment is suitable.
