At DeeTox, our laser device uses light energy to target and damage hair follicles at the root. The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus uses 2 laser wavelengths to precisely treat a wide range of skin types. The laser energy penetrates hair pigment and gradually slows the follicle’s growth. The result is smooth skin with significantly less regrowth.

Where Confidence Begins
Take the first step toward feeling more like you—refreshed, radiant, and confident in your skin.
Yes, the GentleMax Pro Plus features dual wavelengths that allow our providers to safely treat skin tones ranging from fair to deep. The technology gives us flexibility in how we adjust the laser to your unique needs, making the process both effective and safe. During your consultation, we will evaluate your skin and hair to create a tailored treatment plan specifically for you.
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or pinch, similar to a rubber band. Our device includes a built-in cooling system that helps protect your skin and minimize discomfort during treatment. Some areas of the body may feel more sensitive than others, but the sessions are typically quick, and treatments are often well-tolerated.
For optimal results, we recommend the following:
- Avoid tanning and sun exposure on the treatment area for at least 2 to 4 weeks.
- Do not wax, tweeze, or use depilatories for at least 4 weeks.
- Avoid products with retinol or acids on the treatment area for at least 5 days.
- Shave the treatment area prior to your appointment
Treatment time depends on the size of the area we’re treating. Small areas, like the upper lip or underarms, may only take 15 to 20 minutes. Larger areas, such as the legs or back, can take up to 45 minutes. Your provider will give you a more accurate estimate during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Many of our patients see their best results after a series of 6 to 8 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and laser treatment is most effective during the active growth phase. Consistent treatments can help target as many active follicles as possible, which creates longer-lasting results.
We can treat almost any part of the body. Popular areas include the face, underarms, bikini line, legs, chest, and back. Whether you want to treat a single, small area or combine several for full-body smoothness, we will create a plan that suits your goals.
You can expect to see a noticeable reduction in hair growth with each session. Over time, your hair will become finer, lighter, and sparser. Many patients enjoy results that last for years. Occasional maintenance treatments may help extend your results, especially in areas where hair growth is more stubborn.
Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience mild redness, sensitivity, or a warm sensation in the treated area for up to 24 hours. These effects are temporary and typically resolve on their own. You can return to your routine immediately after, though we recommend avoiding sun exposure, saunas, and intense workouts for at least 24 hours.
You may shave between treatments, but we recommend avoiding waxing, tweezing, or threading. These methods remove the entire hair follicle, which is what the laser targets. Shaving is safe and keeps the skin smooth without interfering with the treatment’s effectiveness.
Laser hair reduction provides long-term results, but may not remove 100% of hair or last forever. Most patients experience a dramatic reduction in hair growth, with smoother skin that can last for years. Occasional touch-up sessions may be helpful depending on the treatment area and your unique hair growth cycle.
