The laser creates a beam of high-intensity light that penetrates deeply into the skin tissue, where it delivers a controlled amount of targeted therapeutic heat. Candela’s patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) technology protects the superficial layerss of the skin with a cool burst of cryogen before the laser energy penetrates the skin. Together, the long-pulse laser and the DCD cooling offers optimal treatment with minimal side effects.

You and your practitioner will wear safety glasses to protect your eyes during the procedure. The practitioner will use a small hand- piece that touches your skin to deliver the light.

The number of sessions depends on the treatment required and the condition of the Skin. For hair removal, multiple treatments are required, as the process is most effective when the hair is in its active growth phase. Other conditions may clear up with only one treatment, but many factors impact the efficacy of individual laser treatments, including the severity of the condition being treated.

Patients scheduled for hair removal should avoid plucking, electrolysis or hair waxing for six weeks prior to treatment. If there is a history of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), prophylactic treatment antiviral therapy may be prescribed. The intended treatment area should not be exposed to sunlight or to tanning booth light prior to or immediately after treatment. Before laser treatment, prevention of sun exposure and use of a Sunblock with at least SPF 30 is recommended for the treatment area.
