A Deep Dive Into Advanced Laser Hair Removal Techniques

Advance your practice with an on-demand training session from Candela’s clinical education team. This training session delivers an advanced, clinical approach to laser hair removal using the GentleMax Pro Plus® system. Designed for aesthetic providers, dermatology practices, plastic surgery clinics, and med spa teams, the webinar explores the science of selective photothermolysis, wavelength selection, and high-performance treatment strategies across Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI.

Whether you are newly integrating laser hair removal or seeking to expand outcomes with the Gentle Series, this program provides detailed guidance on laser parameters, multiple-pass techniques, safety considerations, and real-world case management.

What You’ll Learn

This advanced webinar covers practical topics that directly support clinical outcomes and treatment confidence, including:

Advanced Techniques Including Multiple Passes

  • Challenging Cases
  • Treating skin and hair combinations that create limited contrast
  • Strategies for hormonally driven hair growth
  • Identifying when skin, hair, or operator technique is the limiting variable

Focused vs. Blended Wavelengths

  • When to select 755 nm Alexandrite versus 1064 nm Nd:YAG lasers
  • Why wavelength choice is the first and most critical parameter
  • Clarifying differences between focused wavelengths and blended approaches
  • When to apply dual-wavelength sequencing
  • Use of large spot sizes to improve speed, depth, and impactful fluence
  • Progressive fluence increases over the treatment series
  • Cooling science for epidermal protection

“Successful laser hair removal requires knowing which variable is limiting your result—skin, hair, operator, or device—and adjusting parameters to respect selective photothermolysis.”
