Are you thinking about leasing or purchasing a tattoo removal laser device and wondering, “How much will it cost?” Let’s break it down for you. This article explains what to expect when buying a tattoo removal laser – keeping it straightforward and providing a typical example most people are familiar with: the car purchasing process.
When Buying a Tattoo Removal Laser: Think Monthly Payments, Not Just the Total Price
Like buying a car, focus on the monthly payment rather than the big total. Since most lasers are financed, knowing your monthly budget is critical. You want to ensure your monthly earnings cover the laser payment and leave room for profit.
Purchase Price of a Tattoo Removal Laser
Investing in a laser tattoo removal machine can help generate significant revenue for your business. While the cost of the laser can range from $80k to $300k, maximizing your return on investment and ensuring affordable monthly payments can make the investment successful. By carefully planning the number of treatments you can perform, your treatment price per session, and what other services you can provide, you can leverage your laser machine as a valuable asset in your business plan.
New vs. Pre-Owned Lasers
Deciding between a new or used laser is like picking between a brand-new car and a pre-owned one. New lasers cost more, but you get things like warranties and training. Pre-owned lasers are less expensive, but ensure they’re in good shape and have warranty coverage.
Certified Pre-Owned Lasers and Recertification Fees
Some companies offer “certified pre-owned” lasers with warranties, which is nice for peace of mind. However, some of these lasers require a recertification fee that can be very expensive and is passed on to the pre-owned buyer. This can add thousands of dollars to the cost of a pre-owned laser, so be careful buying lasers from questionable sources. Astanza does have a limited inventory of pre-owned lasers and never charges a “recertification fee.”
Factors Affecting the Price of an Aesthetic Laser
The price of a laser can be affected by the location of the manufacturer and its reputation. German-manufactured lasers might cost more upfront, but they’re top-notch compared to those made in less reputable countries. Cheaper lasers from other countries seem like a great deal when only looking at the price, but they can cost a lot more in the long run due to quality and maintenance issues.
FDA-Cleared Aesthetic Lasers
Make sure any laser you buy is FDA-cleared. Just like cars have to meet safety standards before being imported into the United States, lasers need to meet FDA rules to be legal. Refrain from messing around with non-FDA-cleared lasers, as it may jeopardize your reputation and your ability to conduct ongoing business.
What Happens After You Buy an Aesthetic Laser
Before you pull the trigger on a laser purchase, understand the service and support options and the ability of the company to service your laser. You want to know if you’ll get help if something goes wrong. For instance, if you purchase a laser from Astanza and maintain your warranty or purchase a-la-carte service, we have a 3-Business Day Service Guarantee that ensures we will get your laser back up and running, or we will extend your warranty by one month for each day past three business days your laser isn’t working. If it’s an a-la-carte service, we will provide you with a discount on parts if we can’t get your laser working within three business days.
