Laser Hair Removal
Experience permanent hair reduction with our state-of-the-art Candela GentleMax Pro laser. Safe for all skin types, performed by certified aesthetic nurses in our San Jose clinic.
Advanced Laser Hair Removal
Our Candela GentleMax Pro uses dual-wavelength technology—the Alexandrite 755nm and Nd:YAG 1064nm lasers—to target melanin deep within the hair follicle, destroying it at the root for permanent reduction. The dual wavelengths allow us to safely and effectively treat every skin type.
The Nd:YAG wavelength is specifically designed for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), making our practice one of the few in San Jose that can confidently treat all skin types. The Candela GentleMax Pro is FDA-cleared and trusted by leading dermatologists worldwide.
All treatments are performed by certified aesthetic nurses under the supervision of Dr. Terry Blay. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to target every follicle during its active growth phase. Most clients see 80–90% permanent reduction after a full series of treatments.
