Candela is a well-known brand in the medical aesthetics industry, offering a range of advanced laser systems for various skin treatments. The GentleYag Pro® Laser and the GentleLase Pro® are two of its prominent offerings, each with distinct features and ideal applications for different skin types.

Candela GentleYag Pro® Laser:

  • Features: The GentleYag Pro® is a Nd:YAG laser system that delivers high-energy laser beams with a longer wavelength, making it suitable for treating deeper layers of the skin. It is equipped with a cooling device that minimizes discomfort during treatment and reduces the risk of damage to the epidermis.

  • Uses: The GentleYag Pro® is commonly used for hair removal on all skin types, including tanned skin, as well as for the treatment of vascular lesions, such as spider veins and leg veins. It can also be used for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and the treatment of pigmented lesions.

  • Optimal Skin Types: The GentleYag Pro® is generally considered safe and effective for all skin types, including tanned and darker skin tones, due to its longer wavelength and cooling technology, which minimizes the risk of pigmentation changes and other adverse effects.

Candela GentleLase Pro®:

  • Features: The GentleLase Pro® is an alexandrite laser system that emits a shorter wavelength, making it well-suited for targeting melanin in the skin, particularly for hair removal and pigmented lesion treatment. It also comes with a dynamic cooling device for increased patient comfort and protection.

  • Uses: The GentleLase Pro® is primarily used for hair removal, especially for patients with lighter skin tones. It is also effective for the treatment of pigmented lesions, such as sunspots and age spots, and for the removal of vascular lesions, including spider veins.

  • Optimal Skin Types: The GentleLase Pro® is most suitable for patients with lighter skin tones, as the shorter wavelength can pose a higher risk of pigmentation changes in individuals with darker skin. It is generally not recommended for tanned or darker skin types due to the potential for adverse effects.
