Our laser technology

Not all lasers
are the same

Our Candela GentleMax Pro PLUS machines are brand new, latest-generation PLUS models — the top of the Candela range and the most advanced laser hair removal technology commercially available. The GentleMax Pro PLUS operates on a different level entirely.

Many devices in the market use a single-wavelength diode beam. The GentleMax Pro PLUS is a dual-wavelength clinical platform — 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG — which means greater efficacy across all hair types and full safety across every Fitzpatrick skin tone.

Trusted by leading dermatology and aesthetic clinics worldwide — chosen for clinical precision, dual-wavelength versatility, and built-in Dynamic Cooling Device. Every Peonella session is delivered by a Candela-certified specialist.

What makes it different

Why our Candela laser is world class

Every specification below has a direct effect on your results, your comfort and your safety.

Wavelength
755 + 1064nm

Dual wavelength platform

755nm for finer hair on lighter skin, 1064nm for all hair types and skin tones — both from one handpiece. Most machines offer just one.

Model designation
Pro PLUS

Top of the Candela range

The PLUS isn't cosmetic — a larger spot size and higher peak fluence than the standard Pro mean faster sessions and better results on coarse or resistant hair.

Comfort system
Cooling

Skin protection throughout

Every pulse is paired with skin cooling, so treatment stays comfortable — most clients describe it as mild warmth, not the sting of older lasers.

Skin tone coverage
I – VI

Every Fitzpatrick skin type

The 1064nm Nd:YAG is the clinical standard for darker skin (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) — safe at effective fluence where many machines simply can't treat at all.

Session time
½ speed

Faster than most devices

A larger spot size covers more skin per pulse — full legs in around 30 minutes, underarms in 15. Across a 6–10 session course, that adds up.

Machine status
New

Brand new, latest-generation

Brand new, not refurbished — full Candela calibration, full manufacturer warranty and optimal performance from day one. The same platform used in leading clinics.

Candela Medical — Appointed Clinic

Candela Appointed
Clinic status

Peonella is a Candela Appointed Clinic — a designation held by a small number of clinics that meet Candela Medical's standards for equipment, training, and practitioner qualification.

Every treatment is delivered on our brand-new GentleMax Pro PLUS by a Candela-trained practitioner — the same gold-standard technology used in leading clinics worldwide.

Skin tone safety

Safe on every skin tone — including yours

Fitzpatrick skin type is a clinical scale from I (very fair) to VI (very dark). Many laser devices can only safely treat types I–III. The GentleMax Pro PLUS 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deeper into the follicle while protecting the surface — making it the clinical standard for types IV, V and VI.

At your consultation, your practitioner will assess your Fitzpatrick type and select the appropriate wavelength, spot size and fluence settings for your individual skin. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
