Used Vectus for Sale: Current Listings, Used Price Range and What to Check

A used Vectus is listed at $9,500–$33,245 as of November 2026, with a median asking price of $19,900 across 7 listings from 3 dealers.

The price table above shows each point, and model year explains only part of the spread.

A 2022 Vectus with 138,529 pulses and a 90-day dealer warranty is listed at $27,475.

A 2019 Vectus with a new handpiece, sapphire optic and melanin reader is listed at $19,975, while another 2019 unit with no handpiece details is listed at $9,500.

A 2012 and a 2014 Vectus, both listed as certified pre-owned by the same dealer, are each listed at a starting price of $19,900.

The top of the range is a $33,245 listing that does not state a model year, so ask that seller for the year and pulse count before you compare it.

The range leaves out a $5,700 unit listed for parts and a $4,800 2012 unit listed as-is and untested.

We found no verified new price for a Vectus, so this page shows no used-versus-new gap.

Vectus has one FDA 510(k) clearance in our records: K120622, issued to Palomar Medical Technologies on May 23, 2012.

Current listings that state a year cover 2012, 2014, 2019 and 2022 units, as of November 2026.

Cynosure completed its acquisition of Palomar on June 24, 2013, which is why listings use both names for the same laser.

Cynosure and Lutronic merged in 2024, and Vectus is still listed as a current product on the Cynosure Lutronic website as of November 2026.

Read the console label and serial plate, not only the listing title, to see which maker and year you are buying.

Vectus is a diode laser for high-volume permanent hair reduction that delivers light through a diode-powered handpiece with large spot sizes, Photon Recycling and the Skintel Melanin Reader, per Cynosure.

Vectus is one of the diode systems priced side by side in our used diode laser listings for Vectus and its rivals.

Our sources give no voltage, weight or size figures for Vectus, so ask the seller for the electrical service and freight details before you book shipping.

Cynosure Lutronic does not publish a transfer or recertification fee for a used Vectus, as of November 2026.

Its Vectus product page names no fee, and its published US terms of sale contain no transfer, relicensing or recertification fee for used systems.

Cynosure's contact form does list "I bought a laser/device from a 3rd party" as a service category, so register a used unit with Cynosure Lutronic after purchase.

Cynosure's terms also list a cancellation and restocking charge on refused new deliveries, which is not a transfer fee.

Ask Cynosure Lutronic in writing what a new owner pays for service before you send a deposit, and compare other brands' transfer and recertification fees with Cynosure Lutronic's unpublished Vectus terms.

A complete used Vectus system includes five parts named in its 510(k) summary: a diode-powered handpiece, the Skintel Reader, a base module, a coolant reservoir and a chiller module.

• Diode-powered handpiece
• Skintel Reader
• Base module
• Coolant reservoir
• Chiller module

Only one current listing, a 2019 unit at $19,975, states a new handpiece, sapphire optic and melanin reader, so get a written parts list from every other seller.

Cynosure's warranty excludes consumable components such as handpieces, and we found no published Vectus handpiece or parts price.

Check five things on a used Vectus: pulse count, handpiece and Skintel Reader, software license status, service records and serial match.

1. Pulse count: ask for the reading, since only one of the 7 priced listings, a 2022 unit with 138,529 pulses, states one.
2. Handpiece and Skintel Reader: confirm both are present and working, because the reader is part of the cleared system.
3. Software license status: Cynosure's terms say the license and authorization to operate end if usage requirements are not met, and Cynosure may then stop selling parts, supplies and consumables.
4. Service records: ask for every service date and part replaced, because Cynosure disclaims liability after uncertified third-party parts are used.
5. Serial match: compare the serial and maker on the console label (Palomar or Cynosure) with the seller's paperwork.

Cynosure's warranty runs to the original purchaser only and is non-transferable, so any warranty on a used unit comes from the seller.

Two current listings show the risk of skipping these checks: one unit is listed for parts and a 2012 unit is listed as-is because the seller could not test it.

Vectus is FDA-cleared for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including tanned skin, for these uses under K120622 (2012).

• Hair removal and permanent hair reduction
• Pseudofolliculitis barbae
• Vascular lesions
• Leg veins
• Benign pigmented lesions

Cynosure markets Vectus today mainly for high-volume permanent hair reduction.

It depends on your state: federal rule 21 CFR 801.109 treats a prescription device as one that is not safe except under the supervision of a licensed practitioner, and a state can restrict laser sales further.

Georgia's board, for example, defines lasers as prescription devices that can be sold only to licensed practitioners with prescriptive authority, so confirm your state's rule before you contact a seller.
