Which laser should a plastic surgeon buy first?

Alexa CO₂, in most practices: it adds fractional and ablative resurfacing and scar revision that extend the surgical offering directly, and the same platform opens Alexa Femme™ and Alexa Follicle™. Practices with a large pigment-prone or melanin-rich population often start with Pro 1 Pico instead.

Can a laser improve surgical scars?

Fractional CO₂ on Alexa CO₂ is used for deeper texture and scar-remodeling treatment planning, including selected surgical scars, and PicoMatrix™ on the Pro 1 Pico offers a non-ablative fractional pathway for texture. Both are provider-directed courses; results vary with scar type, skin type and treatment plan.

Is CO₂ resurfacing or picosecond fractional the right addition?

Different jobs. Alexa CO₂ is the ablative resurfacing tier for established photoaging and scars. PicoMatrix™ is a non-ablative fractional pathway for pores, texture and atrophic scars that runs across all skin types. The comparison guide sets the two side by side.

What financing is available to a physician-owned practice?

Lease-to-own entry points start at $499/month (OAC) for DPL Elite, $599/month (OAC) for DioLase Titanium, $799/month (OAC) for Alexa CO₂ and $999/month (OAC) for Pro 1 Pico, with ownership transferring at the end of the term. Purchase and equipment-loan structures are compared in the financing guide.

Is training included for nurse injectors and clinical staff?

Yes. Clinical training, onboarding and protocol guidance are included with every Pro 1 Laser platform. Who may operate a laser under delegation is set by your provincial college or state board.

What laser equipment does a plastic surgery practice add?

A plastic surgery practice adds energy-based platforms to extend surgical results and keep non-surgical demand in-house. Alexa CO₂ covers fractional and ablative resurfacing and surgical-scar revision; Pro 1 Pico covers pigment, vascular redness and PicoMatrix™ scar remodeling across skin types; DPL Elite and DioLase Titanium add the recurring photorejuvenation and hair-removal categories delegated staff can run.

Service line	What it adds to the practice	Platform
Fractional and ablative resurfacing	Addresses the texture and photoaging a lift does not — the resurfacing step patients otherwise go elsewhere for. The revenue calculator's labelled example bands fractional resurfacing at $500–$1,500.	Alexa CO₂ Aesthetic
Surgical and acne scar revision	Scar management as a standard of aftercare across the surgical caseload — fractional CO₂ remodeling for established scars and texture.	Alexa CO₂ Aesthetic
Pigment, vascular redness, skin revitalization and PicoMatrix™ remodeling	Pre- and post-operative skin-quality work across Fitzpatrick I–VI, plus tattoo and PMU correction that brings new patients to the practice.	Pro 1 Pico
Alexa Femme™ women’s health and Alexa Follicle™ hair restoration	Two specialty pathways on the same CO₂ platform, each a separate service category with its own consultation and patient journey.	Alexa CO₂ Aesthetic
Photorejuvenation, redness and acne	The recurring full-face category nurses and medical aestheticians run between surgical consults.	DPL Elite
Laser hair removal and V-Line Lifting™	High-throughput diode hair removal across skin types I–VI and a lower-face contouring protocol — not a surgical lift.	DioLase Titanium

Why this platform set

A surgical practice does not need a laser to be busy. It adds energy-based platforms for three commercial reasons: to extend surgical outcomes into the skin quality a procedure does not address, to capture the non-surgical patient before they go elsewhere and keep them through their surgical journey, and to make scar management a standard of aftercare rather than a referral. The platform set above maps to those three jobs.

Alexa CO₂ is the surgical practice's natural first platform: 10,600 nm fractional and ablative resurfacing in 40 W and 60 W configurations, fractional scanning up to 30 mm, and dedicated pathways for women's health and hair restoration. Pro 1 Pico is the complement rather than the duplicate — a 500 ps dual-wavelength platform whose 1064 nm picosecond profile supports pigment, vascular and PicoMatrix™ remodeling work across the darker skin types where ablative CO₂ is planned most conservatively.

Delegation protects the operating schedule. Clinical training and protocol guidance are included with every platform, so nurse injectors and clinical staff can run the recurring categories while the surgeon's time stays in the OR and the consult room. Each platform carries the 18-month warranty and ships free within Canada as a new device; lease-to-own entry points run from $499 to $999/month (OAC).

How to evaluate a platform for a plastic surgery practice

Start with the surgical caseload. Which procedures would benefit from a resurfacing or scar-management step you currently do not offer? That is the Alexa CO₂ case, and it needs no new patients.
Then the non-surgical funnel. Which patients consult, decline surgery and leave? Pigment, redness and skin-quality platforms keep them in the practice until they are ready.
Decide what delegated staff will run. Recurring categories — photorejuvenation, hair removal, skin quality — carry the payment; surgeon-led corrective cases carry the margin. Model both in the revenue calculator.
Check skin-type range against your population. Ablative CO₂ is planned most conservatively in lighter types; the Pro 1 Pico is designed for Fitzpatrick I–VI. Each device page states its range.
Put service response in the contract. A device down during a surgical week is lost schedule. Ask for service response terms in the written quotation alongside the 18-month warranty.
