The Candela GentleLASE is a high energy, long-pulse laser that can treat skin cosmetic issues like pigmented lesions, veins and wrinkles. It is also used in skin tightening procedures as the laser can stimulate collagen production. This laser is equipped with Candela’s patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) technology that protects the upper layers of the skin with cooling sprays of cryogen, ensuring a painless and comfortable treatment. This laser delivers a beam of high-intensity light that penetrates into skin tissues and produces a controlled amount of therapeutic heat.

· 755 nm Alexandrite laser
· Multiple spot sizes from specialty sizes as small as 1.5 mm up to 24 mm
· Patented DCD™ provides consistent protection
· Plus Air Cooling option

The laser works by targeting any areas using an intense burst of light, which means a selective heating of the upper dermis that does not damage the surrounding tissues. This heat will stimulate a natural healing response from the body to produce collagen and healthier skin cells, tightening the skin and let you experience increased smoothness of the skin. As for pigmented lesions, the pigmentation area will gradually fade over time as the skin heals. After the procedure, the treated area may seem darker and flaking is common as the healing process takes place.

1. Skin condition will be examined.
2. Topical anesthesia may be applied.
3. Safety eyewear will be worn to protect the eyes from the laser light.
4. A handpiece will be be passed through the skin to deliver the laser light. A cooling spray will be felt before each laser pulse.
5. End of treatment.
