There are several laser hair removal systems available today, but they all work using the principal of selective photothermolysis, in which a carefully timed pulse of laser energy passes through the skin and is absorbed and converted to heat energy at the hair root.
The Candela GentleLASE, with its unique combination of laser parameters, penetrates tissue to both destroy the base of the hair follicle and stunt hair regrowth. At the same time, the GentleLASE system's aggressive cooling provided by the patented cryogen spray minimizes the effects on the surrounding skin and provides a more comfortable treatment.
