Things to Know About Medical Laser and IPL Repair Before You Buy

Prior to buying an IPL or medical laser machine, you have to consider a lot of things. For example, how consumable or flimsy are the parts? Does the machine look like it may need to be repaired often? If so, is there anywhere nearby that sells the right parts for your medical laser and IPL repair? Also, is there a third party repair service in the area that you can trust to do the repairs, if the machine does malfunction?

Professional Aesthetic Laser Repair

Aesthetic laser or IPL machine repair is never something that you should undertake on your own. It requires a particular set of skills and experience in the area. After all, laser hair removal machines can be tricky and intricate mechanical devices. That’s why the only option you used to have was to have the manufacturer service your medical laser and IPL machines. However, that isn’t the case anymore.

These days, there are third party professionals who are just as knowledgeable about repairing laser hair removal machinery as the manufacturers are. The advantage of hiring such a third party company is that, unlike the original manufacture, they may not require you to pay for expensive service contracts. You should be able to just call them to perform specific repairs at specific times.

Choosing the Right Cosmetic Laser for Your Repair Company

Unfortunately, if you go the third party repair route, it’s all about choosing the right cosmetic laser for your repair company, not the right company for your laser repair. In other words, most third party companies only repair certain brands of cosmetic laser equipment. So, you need to be absolutely certain that there’s a company in your area capable of performing repairs on a certain machine before you ever purchase that machine. Otherwise, you could find yourself paying for expensive service contracts with the laser hair removal machine’s manufacturer.

A big part of choosing the right medical laser and IPL repair company is checking into who their other clients are. You should always ask for references from any third party companies and take the time to examine those references carefully. Also, make sure that the company is not promising skills or services that they can’t deliver on. After all, your business can be seriously harmed if your laser hair removal device can’t be repaired quickly and properly.

Remember to Consider the Parts:

Typically, third party medical laser and IPL repair services specialize in repairing certain brands of machinery. If your chosen company is a specialist in your brand, they should have consistent access to the parts that you need. If, on the other hand, they don’t typically repair that specific brand, even if they are confident that they could do the repairs, the parts may be in short supply in your area. So, you need to verify that parts for any machine you are considering purchasing are readily available before you make that purchase.

Another problem regarding parts is that newer machines tend to malfunction more often than older machines. Basically, that’s a marketing technique used by manufactures. After all, they would be out of business if technicians didn’t keep coming back to them for all of their medical laser equipment and IPL repair and purchasing needs. So, be sure to keep all of those things in mind when you’re thinking about which machine to buy.
