What Should You Consider While Buying A Pre-Owned Medical Laser?

The market for cosmetic and aesthetic treatment is surging. If you are looking to expand your clinic by buying pre-used laser equipment that could satisfy your patients, the first thing you should look for is the “blue dot certification” of the product.

Although there are many reliable dealers in the market, few of them are deceitful. The laser service company may sell you a product that is malfunctioning. Although it may look good from outside, it may have problems within. In other cases, you may have to pay a heavy amount for recertification to get your device serviced from the original manufacturer.  So how do you find the right dealer to start with? Moreover, how do you avoid recertification problems? This is where the blue dot certificate appears. What is the blue dot certification?

It is a certification provided to all refurbished medical lasers after rigorous inspection. This specific process includes 20 points of validation to ascertain a high level of safety, reliability, functionality, and efficiency. These 20 points, which are strictly followed both while refurbishing and inspecting, with the help of proficient engineers, ensures the quality of used medical lasers that is almost equal to the brand new ones. Equipment that comes with blue dot certification is of low cost yet do not compromise in terms of performance and efficiency.

Once you buy, its value depreciates many folds within a year. Further, service contracts with OEM’s are expensive. It will take a few years to make a profit out of your purchase. Two, purchasing a refurbished product, which comes with its own problems inherent from the “grey market”. The equipment purchased maybe faulty, do not align to manufacturer’s specifications and cost you up to $30,000 for recertification.

However, now there is a third way, dubbed as the “blue way”. Many dealers have started to avail blue dot certification for their products to improve their trustworthiness.
