What is Candela GentleYag Pro-U treatment?

Although previous technology did not allow for effective hair removal for some skin tones, the Candela GentleYag Pro-U is designed to treat patients of all skin types. The Candela® GentleYag Pro-U can be used for a variety of other treatments, as well. At Sanova Dermatology, we often utilize it for:

Laser hair removal
Laser skin rejuvenation and tightening
Treatment of nail fungus
Razor bumps and ingrown facial hairs (pseudofolliculitis barbae)

How does Candela GentleYag Pro-U treatment work?

The Candela GentleYag Pro-U uses intense beams of light to safely heat the treatment area without harming surrounding tissue. The targeted cells absorb the heat, resulting in safe, effective treatment for a variety of cosmetic issues. For each patient, a personalized treatment plan is created, including the amount of visits recommended to achieve optimal results.

At Sanova Dermatology, we pride ourselves on delivering top-tier skin care through a combination of experience, education, and advanced technology. Our team of highly experienced physicians are dedicated to providing safe, effective Candela® GentleYag Pro-U treatment. We have convenient locations across Texas, including Houston, Pflugerville, Austin, Bee Cave, and Dripping Springs. We also serve Louisiana with locations in Metairie, Old Metairie, Uptown New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Schedule a consultation today.

For laser hair removal, patients should be sure to shave the area prior to treatment. Avoid bleaching, waxing, or plucking for 4-6 weeks before and after treatment. Depending on your skin type, it might be recommended for you to come in prior to your scheduled appointment to try a test spot. This equipment uses a cooling mechanism designed to help deliver treatment as comfortably as possible, but many patients elect to utilize a topical numbing cream for added comfort during their treatment session.

Following your treatment, you should avoid using makeup for 24 hours, use a sunblock (SPF 30+) at all times, and avoid any intense exercise for 48 hours. During the first week after treatment, avoid retinoid, glycolics, and salicylic acid agents. After laser hair removal, patients may experience redness or swelling in the treated area, but this should subside after 2-3 days. Clean the area with a gentle cleanser for at least one week.

The GentleYag Pro-U can be used on all skin types and is ideal for individuals with darker skin tones.

Most patients can achieve their desired level of improvement after 6-8 sessions.
