When you trust VMS with your IPL handpiece, here’s what we do to restore it to “like new” condition:
Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a full diagnostic inspection, assessing pulse history, lamp wear, filter condition, water flow, and housing integrity.
Step 2: Precision Disassembly
The handpiece is carefully opened, with all critical components — flash lamp, light guide, filters, seals, and cooling connections — removed for inspection.

Step 3: Component Replacement & Restoration
Flash Lamp — replaced with OEM or high-quality equivalent.
Light Guide/Quartz Rod — polished or replaced for maximum clarity.
Filters & Windows — replaced if burnt, cracked, or discolored.
O-Rings & Seals — swapped for new to prevent leaks.
Cavity & Reflector — cleaned, re-coated, or replaced as needed.



Step 4: Cooling System Service
We flush coolant lines, replace fittings, and pressure-test the system to ensure leak-free, efficient operation.
Step 5: Reassembly & Alignment
All components are reinstalled with precision alignment to ensure maximum light transmission and consistent energy delivery.

Step 6: Calibration & Verification
Using specialized diagnostic equipment, we test output energy, pulse stability, wavelength accuracy, and safety interlocks — guaranteeing reliable clinical results.
Step 7: Final Quality Assurance
The rebuilt handpiece undergoes extended performance testing before being cleared for use, ensuring it’s fully restored to OEM-level standards.
