DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device) is a cryogen spray applied just before each laser pulse to instantly cool the skin surface, reducing pain and pigmentation risk. It's a signature safety feature of GentleMax Pro Plus.

Can I be treated if I've been tanning?

1064nm YAG has relatively lower melanin absorption, making it safer for tanned skin. We still assess skin and adjust energy; avoid additional tanning 2-4 weeks before each session.

How is pain managed in bikini/VIO zones?

DCD cooling + cooling tip (dual cooling) plus low-energy modes significantly reduce pain. Numbing cream is available for sensitive clients.

How many sessions are needed?

Typically 5-10 sessions for lower-body completion; more sessions may be needed for pigmented areas or coarser hair.

Can it be combined with Apogee Plus?

Yes — we alternate devices based on skin tone and area characteristics. Seye Clinic recommends the optimal device per session.

What is GentleMax Pro Plus Female Lower Body Hair Removal?

GentleMax Pro Plus by Candela, USA integrates two wavelengths — 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG — in one device. Depending on skin tone, hair thickness, and area sensitivity, we select the optimal wavelength for safe treatment across the entire lower body.

How it works

The 755nm wavelength has strong melanin absorption, acting powerfully on typical skin tones and coarse hair. The 1064nm YAG penetrates deeper with less epidermal melanin involvement, reducing pigmentation risk for darker or tanned skin. DCD cryogen cooling provides a dual safety system.

Wavelength choice by area

Bikini/VIO/Brazilian: YAG recommended for sensitive zones
Thighs/calves: Alexandrite focuses on thick hair
Feet/toes: precision-spot pulsing
Tanned/pigmented areas: YAG alone or with low energy

GentleMax Pro Plus at Seye Clinic

We assess skin at every session to choose the best wavelength, and we cross-use Apogee Plus with GentleMax Pro Plus to deliver the safest and most efficient hair removal for each client.
