What Can I Expect from Candela GentleLase Pro Treatments?
As the laser is applied, you’ll feel a cooling spray followed by a mild snapping sensation on the skin, thanks to the device's integrated cooling system. Although some patients may experience a slight tingling or stinging sensation, it is generally well-tolerated. After the treatment, your skin may be slightly red or swollen, but these effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours. You will receive aftercare instructions, such as avoiding direct sun exposure and using sunscreen to protect the treated area.
What Is the Candela GentleLase Pro Treatment Like?
The treatment involves a series of laser pulses that target hair follicles or pigmented lesions, with a dynamic cooling device that sprays cryogen onto the skin before each pulse, ensuring comfort. Each session typically lasts 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. After the treatment, mild redness and swelling may occur, but these usually subside within a few hours. Results develop gradually, and follow-up sessions are often required for optimal hair reduction or skin correction.
Does the Candela GentleLase Pro Treatment Hurt?
The dynamic cooling system that sprays the skin just before each laser pulse helps reduce any discomfort, making the treatment more comfortable compared to other laser procedures. Some areas of the body may be more sensitive than others, but the overall experience is typically mild and quick.
