Introduction
Whether you use a Candela, Zimmer, Ultrasun, or any other professional laser system, routine maintenance is key to keeping your equipment running safely and efficiently. Over time, even the best machines show signs of wear that can affect performance, accuracy, and patient results.
Ignoring these early warnings may lead to major breakdowns, expensive repairs, or even downtime that affects your business.
Here are the five most common signs that indicate your laser device needs expert servicing.
1. Inconsistent Laser Power or Energy Output
If your laser device is producing weaker or uneven pulses, it’s one of the first red flags. Inconsistent energy delivery can stem from issues like:
- Degraded flashlamps or capacitors
- Misaligned optical components
- Contaminated mirrors or lenses
A professional calibration and energy test can restore proper output and ensure safe, precise performance.
2. Overheating or Cooling System Warnings
Laser devices generate significant heat, which is why an efficient cooling system (including pumps, filters, and sensors) is essential.
If your system displays temperature errors, shuts down unexpectedly, or the Cryo or water-cooling units run noisier than usual, it’s time for a check.
Neglecting this can lead to serious damage to laser heads or electronic boards.
3. Frequent Error Codes or System Alarms
Error messages that appear repeatedly are your machine’s way of asking for help. These alerts may point to:
- HVPS (High Voltage Power Supply) instability
- CPU board communication errors
- Water flow sensor malfunction
A technician can run diagnostics and identify whether it’s a software calibration issue or a failing component.
4. Unusual Sounds, Smells, or Vibrations
If your laser suddenly sounds different or you detect a faint burning smell, don’t ignore it. These signs could be caused by:
- Electrical arcing within the power supply
- Loose components or faulty connectors
- Degraded capacitors or insulation
Shutting down the unit immediately and scheduling professional servicing can prevent irreversible damage.
5. Reduced Treatment Effectiveness
If your patients or operators notice that results aren’t as effective as before — slower response, weaker laser impact, or longer treatment times — your laser calibration is likely off.
Routine preventive maintenance keeps energy delivery consistent and ensures maximum performance with every session.
