Candela, a pioneer in laser-based aesthetic technology, has introduced its latest innovation, the GentleMax Pro Plus. This new platform is an evolution of the GentleMax Pro, a trusted name in professional laser hair removal and skin treatments. In this blog post, we will delve into the features of the GentleMax Pro Plus and highlight the differences between this new machine and its predecessor, the GentleMax Pro.
GentleMax Pro Plus: An Overview
The GentleMax Pro Plus is a dual-platform laser system, combining the might of both the Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) lasers. This dual capability allows it to address a broader spectrum of skin types and hair colors.
The GentleMax Pro Plus is designed to exceed your patients’ expectations and your business needs. It allows you to treat more patients in less time with increased power, speed, and larger spot sizes. Additionally, it offers short pulse durations to treat fine, residual hair.
The GentleMax Pro Plus is not just a leader in laser hair removal; it’s also versatile in treating a wide range of dermatological indications¹. These include:
– Permanent hair reduction
– Benign pigmented and vascular lesions
– Diffuse redness and facial vessels
– Rosacea
– Spider and leg veins
– Fine lines and wrinkles
– Angiomas and hemangiomas
– Venous lake

GentleMax Pro: A Snapshot
The GentleMax Pro is a dual wavelength laser platform that combines the fastest and most powerful 755 nm Alexandrite laser with an equally powerful 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser. It offers high performance treatment capabilities in terms of speed, efficacy, ease-of-use, performance, safety, and patient satisfaction.
The GentleMax Pro is a foundational device for all practices, offering the ability to treat a myriad of indications. It has been trusted by dermatologists and aestheticians around the globe for over 20 years to successfully treat patients of all skin types.
The Difference: GentleMax Pro Plus vs. GentleMax Pro
The GentleMax Pro Plus stands out with several advancements over the GentleMax Pro. It offers a new short pulse duration of 2ms, increased fluences up to 38%, a 26 mm additional large spot size, and a faster repetition rate. These enhancements translate to increased treatment speed and greater patient comfort.
Moreover, the GentleMax Pro Plus, with its Alexandrite laser (755 nm), is particularly adept at targeting and treating lighter hair on lighter skin types. This shorter wavelength is more efficient in targeting the melanin in these hairs⁸. This is a significant advantage over the GentleMax Pro, which can sometimes result in the regrowth of short, thin, and light-colored hairs that are notably hard to treat.
In conclusion, the GentleMax Pro Plus represents a significant evolution in Candela’s line of laser-based aesthetic technology. It offers enhanced versatility, power, and speed, making it a valuable addition to any practice. With its ability to treat a wide range of skin types and conditions, the GentleMax Pro Plus is set to redefine the standards of laser hair removal and skin treatments.
