Adding a used laser to an aesthetic practice can be a cost effective way to expand treatment offerings and add revenue streams. However, no used laser is cost effective if it isn’t safe to operate. While this statement needs little explanation, it may be hard to determine what constitutes safe – and what equals risk.
Your used laser broker will probably assure you that his used laser is safe. The used laser dealer may explain the various safety mechanisms built into the laser. The used laser dealer may then discuss the refurbishment and calibration process used to restore the laser. Any of this may be good information.
The used laser dealer may not mention that only technicians with authorization from the manufacture are qualified to determine a laser’s safety. A variety of fail-safes may exist, but if the technician evaluating them has no knowledge of them how can he say they are working? Furthermore, a non-authorized technician may have completed some work on the used laser. But if he lacked training and legal access to the laser’s specifications, how can he confirm that’s it’s in safe working order?
It doesn’t make sense.
What’s the impact to your patients and practice if your laser isn’t a safe operating machine? Even more important, is it worth the risk? Speak to an Alma Lasers Professional today and take a better approach to your next used laser.
