Laser Hair Removal for Darker & Olive Skin Tones
Not every laser suits every skin tone. The Candela GentleMax Pro has two wavelengths, so settings can be chosen for a wider range of skin types after individual assessment.
Why skin tone matters in laser
Laser hair removal targets the pigment in the hair. In darker and olive skin, there's more pigment in the surrounding skin too, so the right wavelength and settings matter. That's why a careful assessment comes before every treatment.
Two wavelengths, more options
The Candela GentleMax Pro is a dual-wavelength system. Having both available allows Mikaylah to choose settings suited to your skin and hair, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Assessment first
Your skin type, hair colour, history and recent sun exposure are all considered before treatment. A patch test may be recommended before your first full session.
