Sciton · Aesthetic Lasers · $30,000 – $55,000
A unit with under 40,000 handpiece pulses and full service records runs $48K–$55K; anything past 70,000 pulses drops to $30K–$38K because you're looking at a $2,500 handpiece replacement in 6 months. Annual maintenance runs $1,200–$1,800 if you stay current.
Inspect the handpiece lens for crazing or pitting under a light - cloudiness means scattered beam and weak results, not worth negotiating down. Pull the service logs and check the cooling water temperature readout; units that overheat have been pushed hard. Run a test pulse on your own skin or a willing staff member; if the beam pattern looks patchy, the fractional lens is degrading.
Texas and Southern California are where these move fastest because dermatology chains and MedSpas are stacked in Austin, Dallas, and Orange County - Sona MedSpa alone runs five Moxis across their Texas locations. Midwest clinics are slower to adopt because they're still heavy on IPL and RF machines.

No. Moxi is non-ablative, so zero downtime and no peeling - you're marketing it as a lunchtime treatment. Fraxel ablates, patients need 5–7 days off work. Different client base, different price point. Moxi moves faster and cheaper per treatment.
Harmony is 1540nm and runs more expensive per handpiece hour ($2,800–$3,200 replacements), but some clinics swear it's better for scars. Moxi is faster, cheaper to maintain, and better for general tone/texture. If your volume is high, Moxi wins on cost per patient.
Yes. These hold value at 50–55% of original MSRP if you keep service records clean and stay under 100K pulses. A $60K new unit sells used for $30K–$33K. Lumenis M22 drops harder because parts are harder to source.

Moving a Moxi for a clinic doing $8K–$12K per month in tone/texture revenue saves them 3–4 weeks of search time and typically $3K–$5K versus buying new direct from Sciton. I handle all transport, test-fire, and compliance paperwork, so they're live in 10 days instead of 8 weeks.
