Meet the Candela Laser Facial — an advanced laser treatment designed to improve the overall quality, clarity and appearance of your skin.
Using the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, our practitioners can deliver precisely controlled laser energy to target a range of common skin concerns, from redness and uneven pigmentation to dullness and textural irregularities.
Rather than dramatically resurfacing the skin, the Candela Laser Facial works beneath and within the skin to support a clearer, brighter and more even-looking complexion, with minimal downtime.
What is the Candela Laser Facial?
The Candela Laser Facial is a non-invasive skin treatment performed using the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, one of the most advanced multi-wavelength laser platforms available.
The system combines 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelengths, allowing our practitioners to select the most appropriate technology and settings according to your skin type and individual concerns.
Depending on your treatment plan, the Candela Laser Facial can be used to address concerns including:
Your treatment is tailored following consultation and assessment rather than following a one-setting-fits-all protocol.
How Does the Candela Laser Facial Work?
The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus delivers controlled pulses of laser energy into targeted structures within the skin.
The 755nm Alexandrite wavelength has a high affinity for melanin and can be used to target selected superficial pigmentation concerns in appropriate skin types.
The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates more deeply and can be used for selected vascular concerns as well as treatments designed to improve the overall appearance and quality of the skin.
By carefully selecting the wavelength, energy, pulse duration and spot size, our practitioners can personalise your Candela Laser Facial according to your skin.
Advanced Cooling Technology
The GentleMax Pro Plus also incorporates Candela's Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD). A precisely timed burst of cryogen is delivered to the skin around the laser pulse, helping protect the epidermis while making treatment more comfortable.
Benefits of the Candela Laser Facial
The Candela Laser Facial is particularly popular with patients who want an effective laser treatment without the downtime associated with more intensive resurfacing procedures.

-
Brighter, fresher-looking skin

Reduction in visible redness and vascularity
-

-

-

Treatment options for a broad range of skin types
Because different concerns and skin tones require different laser parameters, suitability is always assessed individually.
Am I Suitable for a Candela Laser Facial?
The Candela Laser Facial may be suitable if you're looking to improve the overall appearance of your complexion or have concerns such as pigmentation, redness, sun damage, uneven tone or early signs of ageing.
However, laser treatment isn't appropriate for everyone.
Treatment may need to be postponed or avoided if you are pregnant, have active infection or inflammation in the treatment area, have recently experienced significant sun exposure or tanning, or are taking certain photosensitising medications.
Certain pigmentation conditions, including melasma, also require careful assessment because some forms of laser treatment can exacerbate pigmentation rather than improve it.
Your practitioner will assess your skin, medical history and treatment goals before recommending treatment.
