At Crystal Medical, we know how important it is to keep your Candela laser devices operating at their best. Whether you’re using the GentleLase, GentleMax, or GentleYAG, each device is made up of carefully engineered components that work together to deliver safe, effective, and comfortable treatments.
Understanding the key parts of your Candela laser—and replacing them when needed—is essential for maintaining peak performance, patient satisfaction, and your clinic’s reputation.
Core Components of Candela Lasers
Here’s a breakdown of the most important parts across the Candela laser range:
1. Laser Head
- GentleLase: Features an Alexandrite laser (755 nm) – perfect for hair removal and pigmented lesions.
- GentleMax: Dual-wavelength system combining Alexandrite and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) – versatile for various skin types and conditions.
- GentleYAG: Specialized Nd:YAG laser for deeper skin and vascular issues.
2. Delivery System
- Optical Fiber: Transfers laser energy from the laser head to the handpiece with high efficiency.
- Handpiece: Ergonomically designed and model-specific, available in multiple spot sizes for different treatment areas.
3. Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD)
- Candela’s patented technology that sprays cryogen milliseconds before each pulse, protecting the skin and enhancing comfort.
4. User Interface
- Touchscreen Display and software controls for precise treatment customization and saved protocols.
5. Cooling System
- Internal and external systems (like Zimmer coolers) ensure optimal device temperature and patient comfort.
6. Power Supply
- Includes a high-voltage power supply and footswitch for energy generation and hands-free laser activation.
7. Calibration & Safety
- Built-in calibration tools and safety interlocks ensure accurate energy delivery and safe operation.
8. Laser Cavity & Optics
- High-precision mirrors, lenses, and resonator components work together to amplify and direct the laser beam.
9. Filters & Beam Modifiers
- Include optical filters, beam shapers, and expanders to adapt the beam for specific procedures.
10. Consumables & Replacements
- Flashlamps, cryogen canisters, and handpiece windows require periodic replacement to maintain quality.
11. Accessories
