Typical pricing - RevLite SI
RevLite SI - Key specifications
- 1064nm Q-switched Nd:YAG with 6–8 nanosecond pulse width - hits black/dark blue ink fast without excessive thermal spread to surrounding tissue
- Up to 10 Hz repetition rate on newer models - means 600 pulses per minute, cuts treatment time in half vs older 4–5 Hz units
- Handpiece spot sizes: 3mm, 5mm, 7mm - lets you target small detail work (eyebrows, wrist text) or cover large areas (chest, leg pieces) with one head
- Typical fluence range 3.0–10.0 J/cm² - clinical sweet spot for most tattoo pigments without inducing excessive blistering or scarring
RevLite SI price overview
Machines in the $18K–$35K band split hard on handpiece hours and service gaps. A RevLite SI with <2,000 documented hours and a service record from the last 24 months runs $28K–$35K. One with 4,000+ hours, no service logs since 2019? Expect $18K–$22K and plan $2,800 on pump seals and optics alignment.
Buyer's checklist for RevLite SI
Walk up to the laser. Fire it. Listen for smooth pump noise - grinding or high-pitch whine means the diode or flashlamp is dying. Check the handpiece connectors for corrosion or loose fiber optics; that's a $3,200 swap if the fiber bundle fractured. Pull the maintenance logs and verify the last laser tube replacement date - they're $8K–$12K and good for 10–12 million shots before efficiency tanks.
US Market overview
California and Florida dominate used RevLite SI inventory because Ideal Image and LaserAway have 40+ combined locations across both states and churn equipment every 4–5 years. Texas secondary market is heating up as regional med spas scale past their first Cutera or Lumenis box.

RevLite SI - FAQ
RevLite SI is black, dark blue, and red only. 1064nm doesn't touch green or yellow well. If your clients have rainbow sleeves, you need a second laser - Cutera Excel HR or Lumenis M22 with 532nm option. LaserAway runs dual-laser setups for exactly this reason.
6–12 sessions, 6–8 weeks apart. Dark, simple black tattoos (prison style) clear in 6 sessions. Colored ink, fine detail, older amateur work? 10–12 is real. It's not magic. You're charging $200–$400 per session, so one patient = $2,400–$4,800 lifetime value if they stick with you.
Plan $3K–$5K annually if you're running 10–15 removal patients weekly (steady clinic). That covers pump fluid, minor optics cleaning, lamp inspection. If you hit 20+ patients weekly, add another $2K for potential handpiece rebuilds every 18–24 months. Schwinger Dermatology runs these hard and budgets $6K/year per machine.

Why buy through TechCosmetic broker?
A clinic needing tattoo removal fast can skip the 16-week Cynosure direct order and be operational in 2 weeks. Honest: you save $12K–$18K vs new MSRP ($45K–$55K) and get proven software/parts ecosystem because the machine is already 8–12 years old and the bugs are dead.
