Candela GentleMax Pro and GentleYAG are often mentioned for men's laser hair removal — especially coarse hair on beard, back, chest. At Paramed we don't use Candela as a standalone — men's hair removal runs on Soprano Titanium with three wavelengths in one impulse.

Men's hair removal has its specifics: 1) coarser and denser hair (especially beard, back, chest), 2) often darker skin on the face from the beard line, 3) deeper follicles, 4) the neck and beard-line area is a high-risk zone for ingrown hairs. Candela GentleMax Pro (alexandrite 755 nm + Nd:YAG 1064 nm) and GentleYAG (Nd:YAG only) are often recommended for men because Nd:YAG penetrates deeper. At Paramed we don't use Candela as a standalone — men's hair removal runs on Alma Soprano Titanium with the same wavelengths (755 + 810 + 1064 nm) firing in one impulse. Contraindications apply.
Paramed uses original Soprano ICE, Platinum and Titanium platforms by Alma Lasers (Israel), with original handpieces and safety-first protocols.
At the consultation we evaluate hair density and structure per area, phototype, ingrown hair tendency, and any inflammation (especially in the neck/beard line). Soprano Titanium parameters are set accordingly. Areas are often combined (e.g. chest + abdomen + shoulders). If you've considered Candela, share parameters — helps us pick comparable settings faster.
Coarse men's hair (back, chest, beard) often has deeper roots than fine female hair. Nd:YAG 1064 nm penetrates deeper than alexandrite and diode — making it the primary wavelength for deep follicles. Candela GentleMax Pro uses Nd:YAG specifically for darker phototypes and coarse hair. On Soprano Titanium the same 1064 nm fires simultaneously with diode 810 nm (for the main follicle mass) and alexandrite 755 nm (for fine hair). This delivers flexibility: one session covers the different hair types typical of men's bodies (e.g. a back has both coarse and fine hair).
Men's hair removal typically requires slightly more sessions than women's — due to more active hormonal background and denser hair. Course: 6–10 sessions at 4–6 week intervals. Beard and neck may use shorter intervals (3–4 weeks); chest and back stay on the standard 5–6 weeks. Maintenance sessions 1–2 times a year are possible.
No — we don't use a standalone Candela platform. For men's laser hair removal at Paramed we run Soprano Titanium with three wavelengths (alexandrite 755 nm + diode 810 nm + Nd:YAG 1064 nm). The same Nd:YAG in GentleMax Pro is part of the three-wavelength impulse here.
It can, with understanding of the specifics: 1) complete beard removal by laser is not recommended without a clear aesthetic goal — it's a permanent decision, 2) contour correction and neck-line work is a typical task, 3) cheeks and chin can be thinned with proper protocol. Discussed at consultation.
Usually 6–10 sessions at 4–6 week intervals — slightly more than women due to active hormonal background and coarse hair. Some areas (chest, back) finish at 6–8; beard and persistent zones may need 10–12.
Yes — one of the most common men's tasks. Beard-line laser treatment significantly reduces irritation and ingrown hairs — requires a course and ongoing maintenance.
Yes, with minimized tanning and mandatory SPF 30+. Active tanning means planning the course from autumn to spring.
Sensations are individual. On coarse men's hair they can be more intense, but active ICE contact cooling and In-Motion movement on Soprano significantly reduce discomfort.
Usually back (35 AZN) and full legs (45 AZN). Most affordable — neck (18 AZN), shoulders (20 AZN). Package combinations are typically cheaper than buying areas separately. Full pricing above.
If you've been weighing Candela GentleMax Pro vs Soprano for men's hair removal — book a test zone. We'll evaluate the specific area before the course.
