About GentleLASE .

GentleLASE laser hair removal is one of the most trusted ways to reduce unwanted hair for good. At our Fairfax clinic, we use the Candela GentleLase Pro, part of the Gentle Pro family of lasers that clinics have relied on for decades.

How GentleLASE Works

TheGentleLASE System, a revolutionary long-pulse high energy alexandrite laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. The skin is further protected during treatment by a Dynamic Cooling Device where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin cooling the upper layers and providing patients with increased comfort. The GentleLASE selectivity helps to protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair.

Why We Use Candela Lasers

GentleLASE is made by Candela, a brand that dermatologists and laser clinics have trusted for over two decades. It is known for its speed and excellent hair clearance. In addition, built-in cooling keeps each session comfortable. Every Candela system we use is FDA-approved.

Is GentleLASE Right for You?

GentleLASE works best on lighter to medium skin tones. For darker skin, we use the Candela GentleYag Pro, which is designed for deeper skin tones. Not sure which is right for you? We will match the right laser to your skin and hair type at your free consultation.
