It appears that many of the lasers listed aren’t the best for hair reduction. Are you marketing these lasers/IPL’s to buyers that are not trained in the proper use lasers for hair reduction. Who can you legally sell these lasers/IPL’s to?
I was thinking that perhaps these are the lasers left for re-sale after a business has upgraded to the lasers that really offer good reduction. There are so many. I’m thinking that this person doesn’t know that she has landed on a consumer-based website. I don’t think just anyone can purchase a laser or they would be practicing medicine without a license. These are medical devices and there are safety standards involved. Is that not true for Europe as well?
The largest spot size on the original GentleLASE was 15mm. The GentleLASE Plus was the new improved model with an 18mm spot. There have been several models of GentleLASEs.
It is amazing to me that so many lasers are for sale by only a single seller of used equipment and there are many of them. If you read the ads in the back of SPA magazines and other similarly targeted beauty industry publications you will find a number of them advertising used lasers. Either there are a lot of people getting out of the business or these machines are not effective and this resulted some operators trading up to new machines (or both). It does prove that the sales people are effective because most operators know little about the machines and did not buy the best machine to begin with. It does not speak well for the operators.
Excuse me but I forgot to add…If you read the submissions posted here there are a number of them the refer to hair “reduction” as opposed to removal. I find that strange because when clients came to us (I am retired) they wanted PERMANENT REMOVAL! IS IT POSSIBLE THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY MORE FOR ONLY REDUCTION?
I saw a TV ad by a female (she looked very young) where she was working on a face and she was NOT wearing goggles. You could see the flash on the patient’s skin each time she pulled the trigger, or foot switch. I did not notice if she wore gloves. Next time I will look closer. Her device had a metal extension with a circle at the bottom. She placed the circle on the skin and then the flash could be seen. I do not know if that extension is made by only one manufacturer.
DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT…LOOK IT UP AT <FDA.GOV>The EXACT wording RE: LASERS FOR HAIR REMOVAL by FDA is … "This device is a prescription device that can not be sold to or used by anyone who is not licensed to use it in the state where HE/SHE is LICENSED.
TO MY KNOWLEDGE (I am not “ALL KNOWING”) there is only one state that issues a license for laser hair removal. The wording of the regulation is extremely VAGUE so that all electrologists can use a laser legally because there is no requirement for instruction or how many hours does it take to become a teacher of laser operators and for which procedures. A laser owner will use it to tighten skin, remove skin tags, remove tattoos, birth marks, stretch marks, port wine stains, and almost anything you can think of, including instruction of others who want to learn how to use a laser and to make hair grow on bald heads.
THE LICENSE DOES NOT MAKE THE OPERATOR IMMUNE FROM LAW SUITS by patients.
Each and every insurance company knows the risks involved when they insure people who generate lawsuits. Suits against laser users and spas have skyrocketed and the amounts involved have become GINORMOUS. Insurers find it is too expensive to get sued and lose a lot of money when the premium is so low. Their answer is to raise the premium or disallow a policy for those who they feel are unqualified to do the work even if they are licensed they become uninsurable.
That is very specific… What is it about these regulations that you do not understand? I can understand everybody’s concern about the possibility of losing their practice, however, think about it. If you were a doc
I’m assuming this post is meant for providers that also post here, which is fine I think. Prices seems fine given that they’re older models. And there are several good machines listed by Candela and Cutera.
For others questioning the cost of hair removal, I actually think it’s pretty in line all things considered. Keep in mind that all these devices require regular maintenance and replacement parts/products, and you also have to pay for rent, insurance, and your employees.
