At Beam Laser Spa in Midtown Manhattan, we use Candela GentleMax Pro Plus technology for personalized laser hair removal. The system combines two wavelengths with adjustable treatment settings and cooling to address suitable hair across a range of skin tones. The equipment matters—but so do the specialist selecting the settings, the time allowed for careful coverage, and how your skin responds from one visit to the next. Since 2007, Beam has taken an owner-led, attentive approach: assess first, explain the plan, and adjust as your treatment progresses.

Why it's Different

How Candela Technology Fits Your Treatment

Moisture icon

Dual Wavelength Technology

The GentleMax Pro Plus combines two powerful laser wavelengths:
  1. 755nm Alexandrite Laser – Ideal for lighter skin tones
  2. 1064nm Nd:YAG Laser – commonly selected for suitable darker skin tones after individual assessment.

Wavelength is only one part of the decision. We also consider the amount and coarseness of your hair, your skin’s current condition, recent tanning, medications, and your response to a test patch. Pulse duration, energy, spot size, cooling, and technique work together. There is no universal setting that is right for everyone, and darker skin does not mean every hair on that skin is a suitable laser target.

Advanced Cooling System for Comfort

Candela’s Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) delivers a precisely timed spray of cryogen to cool the skin around each laser pulse. This helps protect the surface and reduce discomfort while energy targets suitable hair follicles. You may still feel a brief hot snap, especially in dense or sensitive areas. Cooling supports careful treatment; it does not replace appropriate settings, protective eyewear, or attention to your skin’s response.

Efficient Coverage, Without Rushing

The GentleMax Pro Plus offers different spot sizes and repetition rates so specialists can cover suitable areas efficiently. At Beam, efficiency does not mean compressing every appointment into the shortest possible time. We allow time for thorough coverage, careful positioning, and adjustments to your comfort. Treatment time depends on the area and whether several areas are being treated together.

Why You Still Need a Treatment Series

Laser energy is absorbed by pigment in suitable hairs and converted into heat that damages the follicles responsible for growth. Hairs are in different growth phases at any one time, which is why treatment is repeated over a series. New technology does not eliminate the hair-growth cycle or guarantee fewer sessions for every client. Hormones, hair characteristics, treatment area, and individual response all influence your plan.

Benefits

Who Can Benefit from the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus?

The GentleMax Pro Plus offers options for treating suitable pigmented hair across Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI. That is not a promise that every person or every hair should be treated. Darker, coarser hairs are generally better targets. White, gray, very light blonde, red, or very fine hairs may respond poorly or be unsuitable. We are particularly cautious about fine facial hair because of the risk of increased hair growth. At your consultation, we discuss whether laser makes sense for the area you have in mind, including:

  • Face (Upper Lip, Chin, Sideburns)
  • Underarms
  • Legs & Arms
  • Bikini & Brazilian Area
  • Back & Chest

Why Choose Beam Laser Spa for Laser Hair Removal?

Cutting-Edge Technology

Our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus combines 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths. We choose the approach for your skin and hair rather than relying on the device name alone.

Expert Technicians

Care is provided by seasoned, highly experienced laser hair removal specialists. We assess your skin and hair, explain your treatment plan, and leave time for your questions. Your treatment history and response guide later visits.

Individual Assessment Across Skin Tones

Suitable lighter and darker skin tones can be treated using the appropriate wavelength and settings. Recent tanning, irritation, medications, and hair characteristics still matter. A consultation and test patch help us assess suitability; no laser makes treatment risk-free.

Comfort-First Approach

Cooling helps, and so does being listened to. We check how your skin feels, allow pauses, and adjust treatment when appropriate. Some discomfort is possible; please tell your specialist rather than trying to push through it.

A Plan That Evolves With You

Your appointment begins with a review of skin changes, recent sun exposure, medications, products, and treatment response. Many clients need approximately 6–12 sessions per area; some need more or ongoing maintenance. We review progress instead of promising a fixed percentage of reduction or a guaranteed finishing date.
