Ultimate guide to buying a laser hair removal machine

With this post we are going to offer you the definitive guide to buying a professional laser hair removal machine and not die trying.

It's one of the biggest investments you can make to boost your business and it's not just any investment... With most of the centres we work with, professional laser hair removal typically accounts for 60% or more of their revenue.

Choosing the right professional laser hair removal equipment is not a whim, it is one of the most important decisions you can make.

Read carefully, we will help you to make the right decision.

The growth of the aesthetic sector has generated a large supply of laser hair removal machines, where abundance does not always guarantee quality or support, making it essential to be well informed before investing.

Why is there such an oversupply of laser hair removal machines?

As we mentioned in another post, we are living in times of triumph of beauty, which translates into a development and consolidation of the aesthetics sector and, of course, in the exponential growth of an associated sector, that of aesthetic appliances.

The rise of aesthetics and wellness culture

As we mentioned in another post, we are living in times of beauty triumph, which translates into a development and consolidation of the aesthetics sector and, of course, in the exponential growth of an associated sector: aesthetic appliances.

The concern for maintaining and enhancing personal beauty is a historical universal of which we have records from the earliest times of human evolution. But today, with new technological advances and the development of the wellness culture, beauty has become one of the most important issues in its own right.

Supply, demand and market saturation

The market is governed by the mechanisms of supply and demand. When there is unsatisfied demand, the most pioneering producers of goods and services try to satisfy it. If that market segment consolidates and continues to grow, all players in that market will want to participate in that winning dynamic.

The aesthetic appliances sector and, in the case of this post, its most popular and sought-after equipment - laser hair removal machinery - has consolidated and is growing steadily, which has attracted producers and distributors of all kinds who want to benefit from this state of affairs.

The risk of poor quality and lack of after-sales support

All this, together with the nature of continuous change and innovation to which the high-tech sectors are subject, has led to an overwhelming supply of hair removal equipment, which unfortunately includes companies and products of dubious quality that, in many cases, do not offer adequate after-sales follow-up, or simply lack it.

Why choosing the wrong laser hair removal machine can be costly

Throwing you into a flawed and highly frustrating buying process. Choosing a laser hair removal device has become an arduous and complicated task. That's why we're going to provide you with this guide breaking down the different stages of your buying process to make things easier for you.

Knowing your customer, their phototypes and habits is key to choosing the right laser technology and getting the investment right the first time.

Focusing on the customer and laser technology

Knowing the target customer

Any business that aspires to be sustainable over time must know in depth who its target customer is and what their needs are. In order to do this, it is very useful to handle contrasted information about the demographic profile (age, sex, nationality, profession, marital status, etc.) of your target customer.

In addition, and linked to the above, every medical-aesthetic centre must know what type of treatments and, therefore, what type of equipment its potential clientele is demanding.

Relationship between client profile and most demanded treatments

Here are some examples

Once we have targeted the client, we can make a first choice for the most appropriate treatment modality for their needs.

Phototypes and laser hair removal technologies

More examples

If we have clients with a wide range of phototypes, it would not be very appropriate to choose alexandrite laser hair removal technology, as it only targets phototypes I to III. For this we could choose diode laser (I to IV) or SHR laser systems (I to V).

If we are located in transient areas where the majority of our clients do not reside (commercial or work areas), where a fast and efficient laser hair removal treatment such as the SHR laser system is needed, it would make little sense to choose a ruby one.

We may think that by choosing Nd:YAG laser technology we can “kill several birds with one stone” and offer laser hair removal and work on spider veins and skin blemishes. This would be a mistake, because Nd:YAG, while efficient for the former, is much less so for laser hair removal.

Choosing technology according to business model

Therefore, you must know your target customer and their treatment needs well in order to choose the right laser hair removal equipment.

Remember: knowledge is power.

Every centre is different. Your technology should be too.

The purchase of laser devices should be approached as a planned investment, balancing budget, profitability and long-term growth.

What budget do you have?

Purchasing as a strategic decision

Human beings are easily carried away by emotions. Buying is often an exhilarating process that mixes fun, giddiness and excitement. But we are talking about making a capital investment for your business that will have important consequences in your life. It is time to put common sense to work, establishing purely rational mechanisms of analysis of the situation to make the right decision.

Budget, limits and business stability

One of the main objective limitations to buy your professional laser hair removal equipment is the budget you have.
Following a financial study of the investment you are allowed to make, you know what the limit is. If you go beyond it, you may risk the stability of your business.
Set reasonable limits. Don't get carried away by emotions.
We are making progress in the purchasing process; we still have important things to tell you.
