The Candela GentleMax Pro is one of the most trusted aesthetic laser platforms in the industry, combining the 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths in a single system. From hair removal and vascular treatments to skin rejuvenation, it delivers outstanding results—when it’s running at its best.
But even a high-end system like the GentleMax Pro needs regular professional service to ensure safety, maintain clinical results, and protect your return on investment. At VMS Biomedical Lasers, we specialize in comprehensive Candela GentleMax Pro maintenance to keep your machine operating like new.
Why Routine GentleMax Pro Service is Essential
Neglecting scheduled service can lead to more than just performance loss—it can cause safety risks, unexpected downtime, and costly repairs. Here are the most common service issues we see:
1. Cooling System Inefficiency
The Issue:The GentleMax Pro uses an advanced cooling system to protect patient skin and maintain consistent energy output. Over time, coolant quality degrades, lines can develop buildup, and fans or pumps can wear out.
The Fix:VMS provides GentleMax Pro cooling system repair and maintenance, including flushing, refilling with OEM-specified coolant, and replacing failing components to prevent overheating and keep treatments safe.
2. Calibration Drift
The Issue:If your GentleMax Pro isn’t calibrated correctly, energy delivery can become inconsistent—resulting in subpar results, patient discomfort, or increased risk of burns.
The Fix:We use precision GentleMax Pro calibration tools to restore manufacturer-spec accuracy, ensuring every pulse delivers the intended fluence.
3. Flashlamp Wear
The Issue:The flashlamp inside your GentleMax Pro has a limited life cycle. As it degrades, energy output drops, reducing treatment effectiveness and ROI.
The Fix:VMS replaces worn flashlamps with OEM-quality Candela components, restoring full treatment power and consistency.
