The Importance of Technical Support

why your aesthetic practice

IMG_0463.jpgLasers for tattoo removal are complex systems that require regular maintenance and service to in order to perform properly. In fact, one of the most important factors that tattoo removal business owners should consider when purchasing a laser is whether the manufacturer provides fast and reliable service.

Why is technical service so heavily stressed in this industry? Laser tattoo removal is known for being a procedure with little to no downtime. When a laser breaks down or does not function properly, a clinic is unable to perform treatments and make money. Having immediate access to service and frequent preventative maintenance visits can help avoid extended downtimes and aid the success of your clinic.

Astanza prides itself in having the best laser engineers and technical support department in the business. We understand that regular service and maintenance is not only the backbone of a successful clinic, but also a huge factor in the happiness of your clients. Laser tattoo removal customers have more peace of mind and confidence in their removal results when they know the laser treating them is regularly maintained. 

This article discusses why technical service is important, why it helps in the long run, and what our engineers do to make sure your laser is performing optimally.


 

 

What is Technical Service?

When speaking about technical service, what does that even mean and what does laser service entail? Technical service is any work done “inside” of a laser or to any of its physical or software components. Our laser systems are designed to operate efficiently and effectively for tattoo removal and other aesthetic procedures. Maintaining the highest level of efficacy and smooth operation takes some regular maintenance. Astanza’s engineering team has designed a laser installation and maintenance plan to set your laser system – and tattoo removal business – up for long term success.

If even one part of your tattoo removal laser is not functioning properly, the device will not perform as it should and the dependent tattoo removal business may suffer. Astanza’s preventative maintenance plan has been designed to minimize issues and maximize laser performance, device lifespan, and overall success.

A laser system that works as it should – clean, clear optics, dust-free laser cavity, aligned beam path, calibrated energy measurement and software, etc. – will make a laser tattoo removal business money. The point of the laser tattoo removal business is just that.

 

 

Benefits of Regular Service

The idea behind regular laser service is to increase a system’s efficiency, decrease a laser’s downtime, and assure a laser performs optimally without any failures. The same can be said about a car. Regular oil changes, brake inspections, and tire rotations help avoid unwanted breakdowns and are essential to a car’s performance and lifespan. Similarly, preventative maintenance and regular service keep a laser in top shape and allow it to produce the best results.

The benefits of regular laser service ensure that your laser’s internal optics are aligned correctly, the hand piece is cleaned properly, and that there is no loss of energy taking place throughout the beam path. Astanza’s engineers go through a very thorough checklist when servicing any tattoo removal laser system.

In fact, many companies that do not have an internal service team rely on freelance laser technicians to service the systems they sell. Freelance technicians often have limited access to laser parts and are inexperienced with servicing specific lasers.

Preventative maintenance, regular service, and pre-planned visits allow our engineers to clean all of the laser’s components, assess the laser’s energy output and beam alignment to factory specifications, and remove dust build-up to avoid optics from burning out. Overall, regular service helps fix issues before they arise and prolongs a laser’s life and your investment.
