GentleYAG Pro
Candela
Nd:YAG hair removal laser for darker skin types and deeper follicles.
GentleYAG Pro is a Candela Nd:YAG laser built specifically for safe hair removal on darker skin tones and deeper hair follicles. Its 1064nm wavelength bypasses surface melanin to target the bulb while Dynamic Cooling keeps the epidermis protected. It is best suited for practices serving diverse skin types or complementing an Alexandrite-based hair removal platform.
