The Technology

The Candela
GentleYAG Pro

Our Nd:YAG laser operates at a 1064nm wavelength, penetrating deep into the hair follicle where melanin absorbs the light energy and converts it to heat — permanently disrupting the structures responsible for hair growth.

What sets the GentleYAG apart is its Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), which sprays a precise burst of cryogen milliseconds before each laser pulse. This delivers over 50% greater cooling than contact or air methods, ensuring your comfort throughout.

Why Laser

The GentleYAG
Advantage

Advanced technology designed for effective, comfortable hair reduction — no matter your skin tone.

All Skin Tones

The 1064nm wavelength is specifically designed to treat all Fitzpatrick skin types safely and effectively — from very fair to deep complexions.

Permanent Reduction

Achieve up to 80% hair reduction after a full course of sessions. Remaining hair grows back finer, lighter, and less noticeable.

Built-In Cooling

The Dynamic Cooling Device sprays a burst of cryogen before each pulse, protecting your skin and keeping you comfortable throughout treatment.

Speed & Precision

Small areas like the upper lip take as little as 15 minutes. The laser targets hair follicles with pinpoint accuracy, leaving surrounding skin unaffected.

Minimal Downtime

Return to your daily activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness typically resolves within hours — no recovery time needed.

Full Body Coverage

From delicate facial areas to full legs and back — 23 treatable zones across three service tiers, with packages available for every area.

Your Journey

The Path to
Lasting Smoothness

Most clients need 6–12 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart. Here's what to expect along the way.

Sessions 1–2

Getting Started

Your initial treatments target visible hair currently in the active growth (anagen) phase. The laser delivers precise energy to each follicle while the cooling device keeps you comfortable. Expect mild redness that typically resolves within a few hours.

What to expect

  • Hair sheds naturally 5–14 days after treatment
  • Some areas may appear unchanged between sessions — that's normal
  • Mild warmth or redness resolves within hours

Sessions 3–4

Building Momentum

As more hair cycles into the growth phase, each session captures follicles that were dormant during earlier treatments. You'll begin to notice visibly thinner regrowth and longer periods of smoothness between appointments.

What to expect

  • Noticeable thinning and slower regrowth
  • Hair comes back finer and lighter
  • Smooth patches appear between sessions

Sessions 5–6

Significant Reduction

By now, a substantial percentage of hair follicles have been permanently disrupted. Many clients find that large portions of the treated area remain smooth between sessions, with only scattered regrowth remaining.

What to expect

  • 50–70% reduction in most areas
  • Extended smoothness between appointments
  • Remaining hair is much finer

Sessions 7–9

Fine-Tuning

These sessions target the most stubborn remaining follicles — those with longer dormant cycles. Your provider may adjust spacing between sessions as the remaining hair becomes more sparse and fine.

What to expect

  • Targeting last remaining stubborn follicles
  • Sessions may be spaced further apart
  • Near-complete smoothness in many areas

Sessions 10–12

Lasting Smoothness

Final treatments maximize your reduction and address any remaining active follicles. After completing your course, most clients transition to occasional maintenance sessions every 6–12 months to keep results flawless.

What to expect

  • Up to 80% permanent hair reduction
  • Transition to maintenance as needed
  • Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months

FAQ

Questions

Everything you need to know before your first session.

The Candela GentleYAG uses a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser to target melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. The light energy converts to heat, permanently disrupting the growth cells at the root. A Dynamic Cooling Device sprays cryogen on the skin milliseconds before each pulse, protecting the surface while the laser works beneath it.
Yes. The 1064nm wavelength was specifically chosen because it bypasses the melanin in the epidermis (skin surface) and targets the deeper melanin in the hair follicle. This makes it safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker complexions that are at higher risk with other laser types.
Most clients need 6 to 12 sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and hair type. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only target follicles in the active growth phase. Hormonal areas like the face, underarms, and bikini may require sessions toward the higher end of the range. After completing the initial course, occasional maintenance sessions keep results smooth.
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap or warm tingle — well tolerated by most. The GentleYAG's Dynamic Cooling Device sprays a burst of cryogen before each pulse, significantly reducing discomfort. Sensitivity varies by area, with finer-skinned zones (like the bikini line) feeling more intense than larger areas like the legs or back.
After a full course of treatments, most clients achieve up to 80% permanent hair reduction. You can expect 10 to 25% reduction after the very first session. Any remaining hair that does grow back is typically finer, lighter, and far less noticeable. Results are best on dark, coarse hair against lighter skin, but the GentleYAG delivers meaningful results across all skin tones.
Very light blonde, gray, white, or red hair does not respond well to laser treatment because the laser targets melanin (pigment) in the hair. Treatment cannot be performed over tattoos, sunburned skin, or actively irritated areas. Please share any skincare products (especially retinoids) or medications at booking so we can guide you safely.
Yes — shaving is fine and actually encouraged. Shave the treatment area 12 to 24 hours before each appointment. What you must avoid between sessions is waxing, plucking, or threading, because these methods remove the hair follicle that the laser needs to target. Shaving cuts hair at the surface only, leaving the follicle intact for your next session.
Yes! We offer multi-session packages for all treatment tiers. Buy 5 sessions and get 1 free, or buy 10 and get 2 free plus two complimentary touch-ups. We also offer a limited special on medium areas. Packages can't be booked online — call or text us at (770) 796-7418 to purchase, or mention the package you'd like when booking your appointment.
