How to choose a hair removal device?
Settle the 12 items before you pay, but start with three numbers about your client flow. Which skin types come in. What share of the hair is fine and light. How many treatments you actually do per day. The first two numbers set the requirements for the wavelength range, and the third sets the requirements for speed and cooling. Then come the twelve items. Wavelength range in numbers. Power and how it holds up under client flow. Cooling type and whether there is a temperature sensor. Spot size and frequency. Emitter lifetime and warranty period. Number of handpieces. Registration certificate and its composition. Service contract. Service in your country and response time. Training content in hours. Training terms if the specialist changes. Total cost of ownership over three years. No item is settled by words alone, only by the seller's written answer. It is convenient to put the answers into one table and compare suppliers line by line. Below, each item with the wording of its question.
iPRO MINI 755 — warranty 2 years or handpiece lifetime
Which three numbers should you start with?
- Skin type mix in the flow. Based on actual records for three months.
- Share of fine and light hair. This is the main argument for a short wavelength.
- Real number of treatments per day. Not the desired number, but the actual one.
The first two numbers define the requirements for the range, and the third defines the requirements for speed and cooling.
Which twelve items should be settled before payment?
| No. | What to check | Wording of the question |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wavelength range | Which exact wavelengths, in numbers? |
| 2 | Power | Rated and working power after ten treatments in a row? |
| 3 | Cooling | Type, and does the handpiece have a temperature sensor? |
| 4 | Spot size and frequency | How long does a lower leg treatment take? |
| 5 | Lifetime and warranty | How many pulses, and what comes after? What is the warranty term, and what comes first? |
| 6 | Number of handpieces | What is included, and what is bought separately? |
| 7 | Registration certificate | Number, and what does it cover? |
| 8 | Service contract | Who services it, and how often? |
| 9 | Service | Where is it based, response time, spare parts in stock? |
| 10 | Training | Format and how many hours? |
| 11 | Change of specialist | On what terms is a new specialist trained? |
| 12 | Ownership over three years | What is the full amount with service and consumables? |
No item is settled by words alone. Only by a written answer before payment.
