How much does a used alexandrite laser cost?
A used alexandrite laser is listed at $16,975 to $79,995 as of November 2026, across the three models with enough current listings to price.
The low end is a 2016 Cutera excel HR with 219,492 alexandrite and 452,984 Nd:YAG pulses, and the high end is a Candela GentleMax Pro listed by a dealer.
Older models are listed too: a 2002 Candela GentleLase Plus is listed at $7,499 and a refurbished 2005 Cynosure Apogee Elite at $25,000.
A one-owner February 2018 Cynosure Elite+ with a low shot count is listed at $49,500.
What to check before buying a used alexandrite laser
Check the generation, the pulse counts and the delivery system before you pay.
- Confirm the exact model. A 2018 Lutronic Clarity predates the Clarity II, which was cleared in June 2019, and DEKA Motus AY or AZ listings are different models from the Motus AX.
- Ask for pulse counts per wavelength. Good listings split them, and a Motus AX listing reported separate system, laser head and flashlamp counts; see how alexandrite and Nd:YAG pulse counts relate to handpiece life for what the numbers mean.
- Test the delivery system. In one FDA adverse event report, a GentleMax delivery system showed a low transmission error and had to be replaced, while the console itself was within specification.
- Check the software version. Candela recalled the GentleLase Pro in 2013, and the fix was a software update to Version 2.0 installed by a Candela field service representative.
- Get the transfer fee in writing. Candela does not publish the recertification fee it charges when a used Candela laser is bought from a third party, and charges none on its own certified pre-owned systems.
Compare what each brand states in our rundown of transfer and recertification fees by alexandrite laser brand before you send a deposit.
Alexandrite-only vs dual-wavelength: how alexandrite lasers differ
Alexandrite lasers differ mainly by whether they add a second wavelength: alexandrite-only systems fire 755 nm, and dual-wavelength systems add 1,064 nm Nd:YAG.
| Configuration | Wavelength | Example models | FDA-cleared skin types (755 nm) | Cooling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alexandrite only | 755 nm | Candela GentleLase Pro, DEKA Motus AX | Fitzpatrick I–VI including tanned skin | Cryogen spray (GentleLase Pro) |
| Alexandrite + Nd:YAG | 755 nm and 1,064 nm | Candela GentleMax Pro, Cynosure Elite iQ, Cynosure Elite+, Lutronic Clarity II, Cutera excel HR | Fitzpatrick I–VI (Elite iQ, Elite+, Clarity II, excel HR) | Cryogen spray (GentleMax Pro, Clarity II), air (Elite+), sapphire contact (excel HR) |
| Alexandrite + Nd:YAG, sequential | 755 nm then 1,064 nm (BLEND X) | Lumenis Splendor X | Not compared here | Not compared here |
On US Splendor X units the two wavelengths fire one after the other, not at the same time.
Alma's Soprano ICE reaches 755 nm with a diode module, so it is a diode laser rather than an alexandrite laser.
Cryogen-cooled systems such as the GentleLase Pro and Clarity II use cryogen canisters as a running cost, and we found no published canister price from Candela or Cynosure Lutronic.
Most-listed alexandrite laser models
The Candela GentleMax Pro is the most-listed alexandrite laser in our November 2026 price data, with 10 dealer asking prices from $29,900 to $79,995.
The Cutera excel HR follows with 8 asking prices from $16,975 to $49,000, and the Cynosure Elite iQ has 5 from $37,000 to $59,999.
The DEKA Motus AX and Candela GentleLase Pro each had only 2 current asking prices, and the Lumenis Splendor X and Lutronic Clarity II had none, so we don't publish a range for them yet.
If you're choosing between the two best-known dual-wavelength platforms, see how the GentleMax Pro and Splendor X compare on asking price, specs and running cost.

Used alexandrite lasers questions
Are alexandrite lasers FDA-approved?
No, they are FDA-cleared.
Aesthetic lasers are Class II devices cleared through 510(k) premarket notification, so a listing that says "FDA-approved" is using the wrong term.
Does Candela charge a transfer fee on a used GentleMax Pro?
Candela does not publish the amount of the recertification fee it charges when a used Candela laser is bought from a third party.
It charges no recertification fee on certified pre-owned systems it sells itself.
Who can buy a used alexandrite laser?
It depends on the state.
Texas requires a physician's order or prescription to purchase a laser hair removal device, and Georgia defines lasers as prescription devices that can be sold only to licensed practitioners with prescriptive authority.
