Safe, comfortable, and effective for all skin tones.
At Skinovatio Ohio, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro® —one of the most advanced and trusted laser systems available for hair removal and skin treatments. This state-of-the-art technology delivers safe, effective, and comfortable treatments for all skin tones with long-lasting results.
Laser hair removal is currently available at our Parma location.
The GentleMax Pro combines two powerful laser wavelengths in one system:
| Wavelength | Best For |
|---|---|
| Alexandrite (755 nm) | Lighter skin tones and finer hair |
| Nd:YAG (1064 nm) | Darker skin tones and deeper hair follicles |
This dual technology allows us to customize treatments for each client’s skin type and hair characteristics, ensuring optimal results and safety.
The GentleMax Pro features an advanced dynamic cooling device that protects the skin and minimizes discomfort by delivering a cooling spray before each laser pulse. Newer models offer:

Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. Most patients experience significant, lasting results, though occasional touch-ups may be needed.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a warm rubber band snap. The dynamic cooling device minimizes discomfort.
How many treatments do I need?
Typically, 6–8 sessions are recommended for optimal results. The number of sessions varies based on skin type, hair color, and treatment area.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes. The Candela GentleMax Pro is safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types, from light to dark.
Is there downtime?
No. You can return to normal activities immediately. Temporary redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves quickly.
Can I shave between treatments?
Yes. Shaving is allowed between sessions. Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams, as these remove the hair follicle targeted by the laser.
