Gentle Pro Series lasers are gold standard devices for laser hair removal. Offering high speed performance, ease of use, and high patient satisfaction, the Gentle Pro Series leverages both Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) wavelength technologies to efficiently treat a wide range of skin types and hair colors.
Here's how the Gentle Pro Series works on the skin:
The principle behind laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis. The laser emits a controlled beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles, converting the light energy into heat.
Gentle Pro devices offer either single or dual laser wavelengths, with Alexandrite laser (755 nm) and Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) options. These wavelengths target melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color in the hair follicles.
The Nd:YAG laser has a longer wavelength, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin and target melanin in hair follicles. This makes it suitable for darker skin types and coarser hair.
The absorbed heat damages the hair follicles responsible for hair growth without affecting the surrounding skin. This process impedes the follicles' ability to produce new hair.
To enhance patient comfort and protect the skin, the Gentle Pro Series incorporates cooling technology. The proprietary Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), sprays a cooling burst of cryogen onto the skin with each laser pulse.
The Alexandrite laser wavelength is ideal for lighter skin tones, as it has high melanin absorption. It is well-suited for treating finer hair on areas like the face and underarms.
A selection of spot sizes, from 1.5 – 26 mm, are available, depending on system and applicator. The large spot sizes provide increased treatment speed and greater patient comfort.
More fluence in our largest spot sizes deliver the treatment results you demand.
Short 2 ms pulse durations offer finer hair treatment capabilities.
Delivering laser pulses faster allows for quicker and more convenient treatment times, benefitting both patients and providers.
Both 755 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths treat a wide range of indications across multiple skin types - more than just hair removal!
Designed to cater to a diverse range of skin types and tones, the Gentle Pro Series offers practitioners the flexibility to address various aesthetic concerns with precision.
Lightweight, ergonomic handpieces deliver either single or dual wavelengths (755 nm and/or 1064 nm) depending on the platform, providing practices both entry level and advanced treatments to accommodate diverse skin types and practice needs.
High Power: The Gentle Pro Series of lasers is known for its high-power capabilities. The high power ensures that there is no trade-off or compromise when selecting laser parameters.
Specialized Applicator Options: Applicator selection is based on your practice needs. The GentleMax Pro Plus system offers the GLX Delivery System for the fastest treatments yet. A Specialty applicator allows treatment of vascular and clear nail (onychomycosis) needs. Each system has a unique applicator set, designed for optimal treatment offers at a given price point.
Short Pulse Durations: Systems offer a range of pulse durations, with the GentleMax Pro Plus offering the shortest, 2 ms pulse duration, for optimal treatment of fine hair.
Designed to help you select treatment parameters more easily.
It’s Your Choice: Choose from either our cryogen-based Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™), which saves time, is operator independent, scales with fluence and provides rapid and efficient means of epidermal protection, or the Air Cooling Compatible™ (ACC™) system.

I’ve had the GentleMax Pro laser system now for about ten years and we use it for a full range of skin types and hair types. It’s a very versatile device; we also use it for vascular malformations, even small angiomas; you can use it for telangientasias, you can use it for some forms of rosacea, even some port wine stains.
I would recommend the GentleMax Pro laser system to my colleagues for lots of reasons, but primarily because it’s so reliable and powerful.
E. Victor Ross, MD
Dermatologist, Scripps Clinic, San Diego, CAWhether it’s being utilized by myself, my partner or my physician assistant, we use the GentleMax Pro device for laser hair reduction, plus for treatment of pigmented lesions and vascular lesions. It’s really far reaching within my practice, and it’s pretty much in constant use.
I personally would recommend the GentleMax Pro laser to anyone who’s looking to really start to build their practice for the first time with an energy-based device. With the GentleMax Pro system, you have two lasers, and just from that starting point, you can treat a whole, wide array of skin conditions, and a really broad range of skin types. This is a tremendous option to have.
Lesley Clark-Loeser, MD
Dermatologist, Precision Skin Institute, Davie, FLThe GentleMax Pro device is a very versatile laser system for hair removal and more. It has two wavelengths, the 755 nm Alexandrite and the 1064 nm Nd:YAG. The advantage of having both wavelengths in one system is that we can treat patients of all skin types and a broad range of hair types with one device.
The GentleMax Pro laser system is also a great way to expand your practice. Many patients who come in and experience hair removal with the system, then also become interested in treating other cosmetic concerns. This is not only true for women but for men as well. We have men who come in for treating hair on their backs and shoulders, and then realize they can benefit from other treatments such as brown spots and rosacea, really broadening treatment opportunities.
Arielle Kauvar, MD
Dermatologist, Founding Director of New York Laser & Skin Care, NYOften laser hair removal brings patients into my practice; but the way you keep them in your practice, is number one, you provide a great service, so that means you deliver long lasting hair reductions. That’s why the GentleMax Pro laser is so important because I get happy, satisfied patients that ultimately move on to other procedures which grows my aesthetic business. If you’re going to be offering any service, particularly laser hair removal, you have to choose the best, and the GentleMax Pro system is the number one laser hair removal device on the market.
Terrence Keaney, MD, FAAD
Co-founder of SkinDC, Washington DCIt continues to be my go-to laser for hair removal, no matter how many hair removal lasers I try.
Thomas Rohrer, MD
Dermatologic Surgeon, Skincare Physicians, Chestnut Hill, MAThe GentleMax Pro laser is a true work horse in my practice. It’s widely regarded as the gold standard for laser hair removal and I use it very often for that and also for other, lesser known indications, such as pigmentary lesions and vascular lesions, like venous lakes, telangiectasia, and leg veins. One of the most important aspects of the GentleMax Pro system that makes it so attractive to me as a physician looking to deliver optimal results, while also keeping the patients free from harm, is the Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™). The DCD is perfectly synchronized with each laser pulse, to cool the epidermis, allowing the laser energy to reach the deeper targets within the skin that are, in fact, what we’re trying to eradicate. With use of the DCD, we can carefully protect the patient’s epidermis from harm, while also keeping the patient comfortable during treatment.
