What is the Candela GentleMax Pro?
The Candela GentleMax Pro is a medical-grade laser hair removal device trusted by dermatologists and skin clinics around the world. What sets it apart?
- Dual-Wavelength Power: The combination of a 755nm Alexandrite laser and a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser allows us to treat a full range of skin types and hair colours.
- Speed and Precision: With large spot sizes and a high repetition rate, treatments are fast, even for large areas like the back or legs.
- Skin-Friendly Design: The DCD cooling system sprays a burst of cryogen milliseconds before the laser pulse, making the process more comfortable and protecting the top layers of your skin.
- Clinically Proven: FDA-cleared and backed by over a decade of studies and real-world results.
The result? Fewer sessions, better results, and a more comfortable experience overall.

Who Is Our Vancouver Laser Hair Removal Best For?
The Candela GentleMax Pro is safe for all skin types — from fair to dark — and works best on coarse, dark hair. Whether you’re prepping for summer, want smoother skin, or are tired of shaving, laser hair removal can help you:
- Eliminate ingrown hairs
- Enjoy long-lasting smooth skin
- Reduce hair growth permanently
- Feel confident year-round
We’ll evaluate your skin and hair during your first appointment and recommend the best course of treatment.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients see a significant reduction in hair after just 2–3 sessions, with optimal results usually achieved after 6 to 8 treatments.
Your treatment plan will depend on:
- Your hair thickness and colour
- The area being treated
- Your skin tone
- Any underlying hormonal conditions
Is Candela GentleMax Pro Safe for Dark Skin?
Yes — that’s one of the reasons we chose it. The Nd:YAG 1064nm laser is ideal for treating darker skin types, as it penetrates deeper and reduces the risk of pigmentation or burns.
This makes Elitelife Skin one of Vancouver’s safest options for laser hair removal for dark skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Candela GentleMax Pro laser hair removal work?
The laser targets pigment in the hair follicle and destroys it using a controlled pulse of light. The Dynamic Cooling Device ensures comfort and protects the surrounding skin.
Is this the best laser hair removal option in Vancouver?
We believe so. The GentleMax Pro offers unmatched results, and our experienced team at Elitelife Skin ensures every session is safe, clean, and customized.
How much does laser hair removal cost in Vancouver?
Costs vary depending on the treatment area and number of sessions. Our packages offer excellent value — especially for full-body or combination treatments.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Most people describe the feeling as a quick snap or rubber band flick. Thanks to the cooling system, most clients tolerate it well — even in sensitive areas.
Is GentleMax Pro safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, the Nd:YAG 1064nm component was designed specifically for safe, effective results on dark and tanned skin.
How many sessions do I need for full results?
Typically, 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Is GentleMax Pro better than diode laser or Soprano?
In many cases, yes. Its dual-wavelength system treats a broader range of skin types and hair thicknesses, offering faster, more effective results.
Can I get treated in summer or on tanned skin?
Yes, but you should avoid direct sun exposure before and after sessions. The GentleMax Pro’s Nd:YAG laser is safer for tanned and darker skin types.
