Process and technologies
Candela GentleMax Pro
Most standard photo-induced pigmentations, such as age or sun spots, can be treated with our alexandrite technology. The light is absorbed by the pigment cells, which are heated and damaged. The damaged cells are then removed by the body.
For laser hair removal treatments, our alexandrite technology targets the growing cells and blood supply that nourish the hair.
These cells do not absorb light energy, so the wavelength relies on the melanin in the hair bulb to absorb enough energy to destroy it. This laser is strongly attracted to pigment, making it potentially unsafe or difficult to use on darker skin, as the melanin in the skin may absorb the energy instead of the hair. Safe options for darker skin types include our Nd:Yag technology (link to Nd:Yag page).

Could you actually be doing too much for your skin? 👀
We love seeing more people take a genuine interest in their skin health, but looking after your skin doesn’t have to mean doing absolutely everything.
In fact, some of the best results we see in clinic come from clients who have found a routine that works for them and stick to a consistent treatment plan.
Your skin’s needs change over time, which is why we assess it at every appointment rather than following the same treatment protocol each time.
A little less experimenting, a little more consistency. We’re very much here for it 🤍

Some people might not like this… 🫣
1. Buying the highest % you can find.
Especially with retinoids. Stronger doesn’t always mean better for your skin, and you don’t need to keep increasing the strength because someone online has. There should be a reason beyond the % on the bottle.
2. Using exfoliating pads, then exfoliating again.
An easy one to miss. If your toner pads contain exfoliating acids, they already count. Adding another acid afterwards could mean doubling up, particularly if you’re also using a retinoid.
3. Calling every reaction “purging”.
Persistent burning, soreness or redness shouldn’t be dismissed as part of the process. If it’s a prescribed product, speak to your prescriber. You don’t need to quietly put up with discomfort.
4. Assuming “natural” means better for your skin.
Beef tallow is a good example: the confidence around it has outpaced the research. An ingredient’s origin tells you very little about how well the finished product will suit your skin.
5. Giving a serum a week before moving on to the next recommendation.
We understand the temptation. But many results take weeks or months, and changing everything makes it hard to know what’s helping. Unless something is causing a reaction, give it a fair chance before deciding it isn’t working.
