At My Haven Laser & Spa in Calgary, we are proud to offer the GentleMax Pro® laser to provide the best skin rejuvenation in Calgary. Our best technology provides an effective way to tighten the skin and remove spots and skin discolorations. Safe on any skin type, the GentleMax Pro® combines two fast and powerful lasers: the Alexandrite for pigment removal on lighter skin tones and the nd-YAG for skin tightening on all skin types.
No gel, anesthesia or interruption of daily routine necessary.
The dual wavelength GentleMax Pro helps smooth wrinkles by stimulating and increasing collagen production under the surface of the skin. An overall improvement in skin texture, skin tone and pore size can be expected after a series of treatments. Photo rejuvenation can also remove unwanted brown spots and freckles resulting from sun damage, age and hormones, as well as make small facial blood vessels disappear from the skin’s surface.
The GentleMax Pro can be used for a wide range of skin conditions including:
- Hemangiomas
- Rosacea
- Beard Bumps (PFB)
- Pigmented Lesions
- Facial & Spider Veins
- Leg Veins
- Facial Redness
- Age Spots
- Skin Tightening / Anti Wrinkle Treatment
My Haven Laser & Spa offers a laser facial treatment with the Nd: Yag Laser GentleMax Pro. A facial treatment works deep within the layers of your skin to treat many complexion blemishes (especially sun spots and brown lesions) with little or no recovery needed. A facial treatment can significantly yet subtly rejuvenate the skin for adults with multiple types of complexion problems on their face and neck. Ideal candidates for a Candela facial treatments may have several problems with their skin, including:
- sun damage
- rosacea
- hyperpigmentation (brown spots)
- rough texture
- large pores
- flushing
- freckles
- age and sun spots
- spider veins
- slight loss of elasticity
The Candela facial treatment is not considered an invasive procedure, but it can be very effective and produce amazing results. Intense dual wavelengths of light warm the skin from deep within the tissue, just enough to set off the natural regeneration process and boost collagen production. As this added nutrient takes effect, you should see a healthier skin layer with a more even tone, added firmness, and decreased spots of pigmentation. Unlike many other facial treatment technologies, the Candela facial treatment is safe for all skin types and tones.

Safe for All Skin Types
GentleMax Pro has been established as cutting-edge technology from Syneron-Candela, a leading manufacturer in non-invasive aesthetic procedures. GentleMax Pro is a dual wavelength laser platform that combines two separate laser sources, a 755 nm Alexandrite laser and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser, in a single delivery system.
A controlled amount of therapeutic energy is delivered individually (Alexandrite or Nd:YAG), or optically combined (Alexandrite and Nd:YAG) in each pulse and delivered to target tissues. Thermal energy is also selectively absorbed by target chromophores – melanin or hemoglobin – for destruction of pigmented lesions in target tissues. The thermal impact in target tissues stimulates proliferation of fibroblasts cells for enhanced collagen production.
A cryogen cooling system is integrated for enhanced patient tolerance.
Are GentleMax Pro laser procedure painful?
Only Gentle Systems feature a patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD™), which minimizes discomfort by releasing a quick burst of liquid cryogen before and after each laser pulse. The cryogen rapidly evaporates, cooling the outer layers of the skin and making the treatment significantly more comfortable for patients by removing the snapping and burning generally associated with laser hair removal. During the treatment, a hand piece delivers a laser pulse into the targeted areas, and a controlled amount of therapeutic heat that safely and effectively damages the hair follicles.
The DCD technology makes treatments easy and comfortable for our patients, plus GentleMax Pro has the industry’s largest handpiece spot size of 24mm, allowing our staff to drastically reduce treatment time. Patients love the quicker treatments.
How often do I have to come back for more GentleMax Pro treatments?
Treatment Protocol:
Typically, to achieve optimal results 4 to 6 consecutive treatment sessions, 4-6 weeks apart, are required. The effect of the treatment is cumulative. Results are visible after the first treatment but will continue to improve after multiple treatments. Maintenance treatments are recommended.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation FAQs
Yes, the GentleMax Pro is safe for darker skin tones. The GentleMax Pro offers treatments to all skin types, whereas other laser hair removal treatments don’t.
It combines two fast and powerful lasers: the Alexandrite for light skin tones and the nd-YAG for darker skin tones. The lasers work by destroying hair follicles, brown spots and blood vessels through a series of treatments without harming the surrounding skin. This laser also uses a Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™), where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin a fraction of a second before each laser pulse, which provides increased comfort during treatment.

Your practitioner will use a small hand piece to deliver each laser pulse. A treatment could take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the treatment area and the condition being treated.
After your laser treatment, prevent sun exposure by applying sunblock (SPF 30 or above). In the first few days after treatment, don’t scrub or rinse the treated areas with abrasive skin cleansers. Your practitioner may advise additional precautions.
Photorejuvenation is designed to improve a number of skin conditions, including wrinkling, sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation. Results can keep improving over time, as new collagen growth will stimulate more healthy layers of skin. Results are long-lasting and follow-up treatments can help maintain them even longer. Although some redness will be present after treatment, this should dissipate rapidly over the next few hours.
Most insurance companies do not offer reimbursement for cosmetic procedures. Some carriers will, however, cover the treatment of disfiguring birthmarks such as hemangiomas. Consult your insurance carrier for conclusive information.
