Candela GentleYAG Laser Hair Removal The Candela GentleYAG laser can eliminate the need for shaving, plucking or waxing forever. Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams provide only temporary relief. Until the advent of lasers, the only recognized way to remove hair permanently was by electrolysis, which can be tedious, time-consuming and uncomfortable.
