Unwanted hair and uneven skin tone can significantly impact confidence and overall comfort. The Candela GentleLase Consultation Sydney offers a safe, medical-grade laser treatment that reduces hair growth and rejuvenates the skin for smoother, more precise results.
At Cosmetic Culture, our practitioners use the Candela GentleLase system—one of the most trusted and proven laser technologies in aesthetic medicine. It precisely targets hair follicles or pigmentation while cooling the skin to protect it during treatment.
What is Candela GentleLase?
The Candela GentleLase is an Alexandrite laser that emits a specific wavelength of light, which is absorbed by pigment in hair or skin. This light converts to heat, disabling the follicle or targeting excess pigmentation.
Before each pulse, the laser’s cooling spray releases a fine mist to protect the skin and minimise discomfort. As a result, treatments feel gentle and require no downtime.
GentleLase is widely recognised for both long-term hair reduction and skin tone improvement. Its precision and comfort make it ideal for individuals seeking medical-grade results that are both safe and effective.
Your Candela GentleLase Consultation Sydney
During your Candela GentleLase Consultation Sydney, your practitioner assesses your skin and hair type to create a personalised plan. Each treatment area is cleansed before the laser is applied.
You may feel a mild warmth or snapping sensation as the laser targets the follicles. Most patients tolerate the treatment easily. Depending on the size of the area, sessions take between 15 and 45 minutes.
A slight redness may develop after treatment, but it typically resolves within a few hours. Cooling gel and soothing products are applied to protect and calm the skin.
Important information: Treatments discussed on this page may involve prescription-only medicines and are available only after consultation with an appropriately qualified healthcare practitioner. All procedures carry risks and potential side effects; individual results vary.

Each Candela GentleLase Sydney session is tailored to your skin tone and hair density. Most patients experience a gentle warmth and light snapping sensation as the laser targets the follicles. The skin is continuously cooled to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Following treatment, the treated hair will gradually shed over a period of one to two weeks. Over multiple sessions, hair growth becomes finer and sparser, eventually leading to long-term reduction.
You can return to normal activities immediately; however, sun protection and avoiding heat exposure (such as saunas and hot showers) for 24 hours is recommended.
What is the Candela GentleLase Consultation Sydney treatment?
The Candela GentleLase Consultation Sydney provides medical-grade laser treatment that targets hair follicles or pigment irregularities, offering lasting results with minimal discomfort.
Is the Candela GentleLase safe?
Yes. The GentleLase is TGA-approved and performed under medical supervision at Cosmetic Culture. Its built-in cooling system enhances safety and patient comfort.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients require 4–6 treatments spaced four to six weeks apart to achieve optimal long-term reduction. Your practitioner will advise on the best course for your skin and hair type.
Can it treat all skin types?
The Candela GentleLase Sydney is best suited for lighter to medium skin tones. Your practitioner will assess your suitability and may recommend alternative laser options if appropriate.
Does the treatment hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. The integrated cooling spray ensures comfort, and most patients tolerate the procedure easily without anaesthetic.
Benefits of laser hair removal:
• No more irritation from shaving or cream
• Large areas treated at one time
• Sessions are short
• Most parts of the body treatable
Is there downtime?
No significant downtime. Temporary redness or mild warmth may occur but typically resolves within hours. You can resume normal activities immediately.
Can it improve pigmentation or redness?
Yes. In addition to hair removal, the GentleLase can be used for pigmentation correction and mild vascular concerns, offering a clearer and more even complexion.
Results from the Candela GentleLase Sydney treatment become progressively visible as the hair cycle progresses. Consistent sessions spaced several weeks apart can achieve up to 80–90% long-term hair reduction.
The skin also appears clearer and smoother, with improved tone and texture, thanks to the laser’s rejuvenating effect. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year help sustain results.
The GentleLase system is equally effective for laser rejuvenation of pigmentation, redness, or sun damage—providing clearer, more even-toned skin with minimal downtime.
