Candela Alexandrite Laser
What Is Candela Alexandrite Laser?
The Candela Alexandrite Laser is a professional-grade hair removal system that operates at a wavelength of 755 nm. FDA-approved and highly effective on light to medium skin tones, it targets the melanin in hair follicles, weakening them and promoting long-term reduction. Utilizing Alexandrite crystal technology, this system—especially in models like GentleLASE and GentleMax Pro—offers fast, safe, and reliable results in clinical settings.
Who Is It Suitable For?
• Most effective for individuals with light or fair skin
• Ideal for dark, coarse hair
• Suitable for sensitive skin
• Best for Fitzpatrick skin types I–III ✅
How Does the Candela Alexandrite Laser Work?
The 755 nm laser beam is selectively absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft and follicle. The absorbed light converts to heat, destroying the follicle while sparing surrounding skin. Candela’s patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) sprays cryogen gas before each pulse to cool the skin and increase comfort, making the procedure more tolerable and reducing the risk of burns or irritation.
Number and Frequency of Sessions
Most individuals require 6–8 sessions for optimal results. The exact number depends on factors like hair density, hormonal profile, and the area being treated. Face areas are treated every 4 weeks, while body areas are spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Each session typically takes between 10 and 45 minutes, depending on the treatment zone.
Benefits of Candela Alexandrite Laser

Treatment Areas
Candela Alexandrite Laser can be used on multiple areas including legs, underarms, arms, back, chest, bikini area, face, and neck. However, since it targets melanin, it may be less effective on light-colored or fine hairs like blonde, white, or gray.
Who Is Not a Suitable Candidate?
• Individuals with very dark skin (Fitzpatrick types V–VI)
• Those with blonde, gray, or white hair
• People with active skin infections or inflammation
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised to avoid treatment
