THE INDICATIONS
THE TREATMENT
GentleLASE is a long pulse alexandrite laser which delivers high intensity light that penetrates deep into the skin. This is a versatile device because its laser beam can “missile lock” various targets from hair follicles to the pigment in brown spots, to blue and red veins as well as the tired collagen under a wrinkle.
This laser has integrated Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) technology, which protects the upper layers of the skin with a cooling burst of cryogen.
GentleLASE is manufactured by the Candela Corporation.

This type of laser is just as effective as other procedures that are used to remove unwanted hair. Most lasers require dermatologists to apply a salve afterwards to cool the skin and ease discomfort. An advantage of the Alexandrite laser is embedded cooling technology, which many doctors view as a plus.
This type of laser is faster than others, so it is the preferred method for people who wish to remove unwanted hair from large areas of the body. This still needs to be done over multiple sessions, but it is more efficient and takes less time than other laser procedures. People with an olive skin tone and fine hair should also opt for the Alexandrite laser.
The Alexandrite laser uses true laser technology to remove hair, while IPL uses pulsed light. IPL is effective for some hair removal, but the Alexandrite laser is considered the gold-standard for hair removal.
Yes! Since the Alexandrite laser penetrates deep layers of the skin, it works directly to inhibit young, growing hair follicles. By stopping the hair cells at this point in their development, the Alexandrite laser causes permanent hair removal.
