Performance and Features
Multiple, large spot sizes
Anatomically appropriate spot sizes, from 1.5 - 24 mm and a new 26 mm spot size, mean fewer laser pulses - translating to increased treatment speed and greater patient comfort.
Higher Fluences and Shorter Pulse Durations
More fluence in our largest spot sizes deliver the treatment results you demand.
Short 2 ms pulse durations offer new, finer hair treatment capabilities.
High Repetition Rates
Delivering laser pulses faster allows for quicker and more convenient treatment times, benefitting both patients and providers.
Dual Wavelength Treatment Capabilities
Both 755 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths treat a wide range of indications across multiple skin types - more than just hair removal!
More energy for effective fluences
DCD™ for optimal epidermal protection

Physician's Perspective
I’ve had the GentleMax Pro laser system now for about ten years and we use it for a full range of skin types and hair types. It’s a very versatile device; we also use it for vascular malformations, even small angiomas; you can use it for telangientasias, you can use it for some forms of rosacea, even some port wine stains.
I would recommend the GentleMax Pro laser system to my colleagues for lots of reasons, but primarily because it’s so reliable and powerful.
E. Victor Ross, MD
Dermatologist, Scripps Clinic, San Diego, CA
Whether it’s being utilized by myself, my partner or my physician assistant, we use the GentleMax Pro device for laser hair reduction, plus for treatment of pigmented lesions and vascular lesions. It’s really far reaching within my practice, and it’s pretty much in constant use.
I personally would recommend the GentleMax Pro laser to anyone who’s looking to really start to build their practice for the first time with an energy-based device. With the GentleMax Pro system, you have two lasers, and just from that starting point, you can treat a whole, wide array of skin conditions, and a really broad range of skin types. This is a tremendous option to have.
Lesley Clark-Loeser, MD
Dermatologist, Precision Skin Institute, Davie, FL
The GentleMax Pro device is a very versatile laser system for hair removal and more. It has two wave lengths, the 755 nm Alexandrite and the 1064 nm Nd:YAG. The advantage of having both wavelengths in one system is that we can treat patients of all skin types and a broad range of hair types with one device.
The GentleMax Pro laser system is also a great way to expand your practice. Many patients who come in and experience hair removal with the system, then also become interested in treating other cosmetic concerns. This is not only true for women but for men as well. We have men who come in for treating hair on their backs and shoulders, and then realize they can benefit from other treatments such as brown spots and rosacea, really broadening treatment opportunities.
Arielle Kauvar, MD
Dermatologist, Founding Director of New York Laser & Skin Care, NY
Often laser hair removal brings patients into my practice; but the way you keep them in your practice, is number one, you provide a great service, so that means you deliver long lasting hair reductions. That’s why the GentleMax Pro laser is so important because I get happy, satisfied patients that ultimately move on to other procedures which grows my aesthetic business. If you’re going to be offering any service, particularly laser hair removal, you have to choose the best, and the GentleMax Pro system is the number one laser hair removal device on the market.
Terrence Keaney, MD, FAAD
Co-founder of SkinDC, Washington DC
It continues to be my go-to laser for hair removal, no matter how many hair removal lasers I try.
Thomas Rohrer, MD
Dermatologic Surgeon, Skincare Physicians, Chestnut Hill, MA
The GentleMax Pro laser is a true work horse in my practice. It’s widely regarded as the gold standard for laser hair removal and I use it very often for that and also for other, lesser known indications, such as pigmentary lesions and vascular lesions, like venous lakes, telangiectasia, and leg veins. One of the most important aspects of the GentleMax Pro system that makes it so attractive to me as a physician looking to deliver optimal results, while also keeping the patients free from harm, is the Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™). The DCD is perfectly synchronized with each laser pulse, to cool the epidermis, allowing the laser energy to reach the deeper targets within the skin that are, in fact, what we’re trying to eradicate. With use of the DCD, we can carefully protect the patient’s epidermis from harm, while also keeping the patient comfortable during treatment.
