How to Get the Most Out of your Medical Aesthetic Devices

Medical aesthetic devices are a critical and costly purchase for any medical aesthetic clinic or spa. When you purchase these devices, you want to get the most out of your investment both in terms of longevity and in the results you are able to produce for your clients.

Here we will look at the ways you can get the most from your medical aesthetic devices to reduce costs and serve your patients better.

Focus on Multi-Technology Devices

Medical aesthetic procedures address a wide range of skin and hair concerns. Oftentimes clients will need more than one procedure to achieve optimal results. The best way to provide your clients with these services is with multi-technology workstations as opposed to single-purpose machines.

With multi-technology devices you will be able to more easily stack/combine procedures while also saving space in your clinic. A single workstation with multiple capabilities makes for a cleaner work space and easier transportability.

At SharpLight we have created state-of-the-art workstations that are able to perform a range of services including body contouring, hair removal, tattoo removal, skin resurfacing and much more.

Our multi-technology workstations include the OMNIMAX S3 and S4. Each houses the following technologies:

• VermaDerm
• Dynamic Pulse Control
• Aesthetic Laser
• Radio Frequency

Maintenance and Care

We use our medical aesthetic devices to care for our patients and that is why it is also important to care for our devices. Regular maintenance, servicing, and repairs can significantly extend the life of your devices and make them more effective for longer.

At SharpLight, we understand that medical aesthetic devices are a major investment and an integral part of your business. This is why we provide maintenance and repair services for our partners to ensure your device works like new for as long as possible.

Maintenance Tips

Drop a Device? Have it Checked

Though care is taken to make medical aesthetic devices durable and well-constructed, they remain highly complicated and sensitive machines. If you ever tip over a workstation or drop a hand piece, it is best to have it professionally checked.

While the device may still continue to work, the performance may be compromised if any internal parts are loosened or misaligned. Not only will this give your clients reduced results, you could be causing more damage by continuing to use the device.

Proper Storage

Most medical aesthetic devices perform best when they are in relatively cool environments but not extreme temperatures. Typically, room temperature is perfectly fine. However, if you plan to store your device in a closet or storage area, make sure it is also temperature controlled.

Often, storage spaces in a building will not have good temperature regulation and may get too hot or hold. Long term storage in these extremes can be very damaging.

Check Filters and Cooling System

Depending on the type of medical aesthetic device you have, you may need to replace filters and/or add a coolant. Keeping on top of these items can go a long way to keeping your device working properly and not overheating or malfunctioning.

Ongoing Training

Ongoing training for technicians serves a variety of critical purposes including that each team member knows how to use the devices correctly. Correct usage and updated training is important for getting the most out of your devices for the following reasons:

Better Results for Clients

Perhaps the most obvious benefit of training is that technicians are given the chance to learn updated methods and review techniques they may be less familiar with.  Like with most types of work, it is easy to get complacent with how you do things so updated training helps break bad habits.

Understanding the Technology

Updated training is also a time to review the basics of how the technology works, troubleshooting methods, and knowing when to call for repairs or maintenance. SharpLight’s technology is designed to be user friendly and there are a multitude of things clients can do on their own to customize their devices.

However, certain issues require expert repair. Knowing when repair is needed will prevent a technician from continuing to use the device and cause any additional damage.

Look for Quality

Even “cheap” medical aesthetic devices can be quite expensive. However, cheaper devices often make up for this lower upfront cost by being made with inferior materials and technology resulting in more frequent breakdowns.

Due to this, looking for quality instead of just a bargain is a significant factor in getting more from your medical aesthetic devices. Look for devices designed with the medical aesthetic industry in mind meaning that they are built with quality and specifications up to medical procedures.

At SharpLight, our devices and technology are developed with a physician-focused process. When you choose any of our devices, you are backed by our commitment to medically sound innovation and superior medaesthetic results.

Invest in Technology

While holding onto and maintaining older devices may seem like a good cost-savings, it is just as important to ensure your clinic includes devices that employ the latest technology. When clients want medical aesthetic procedures their aim is most often to get the best results in as few sessions as possible.

Newer devices and technology are often much better at producing great results in fewer sessions. Invest in newer devices to add value for your customers and to gain a longer term benefit.
