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

UltraPulse versions in FDA records and listings are the Coherent UltraPulse 5000C and 3000C (1990s), UltraPulse Encore (510(k) K022060, 2002), UltraPulse and UltraPulse DUO (K151331, 2015) and ULTRApulse Alpha (K220467 in 2022, K233301 in 2023).

Asking prices split by generation, so read the price box above one generation at a time.

Most UltraPulse units on DOTmed are older surgical generations (5000C, 3000C, Encore) asking $2,999–$7,500.

A 2011 UltraPulse is listed at $32,900 by a laser dealer, and a 2015 Encore is listed by a dealer as certified pre-owned at a “starting at” price of $28,000.

Compare a unit only with listings of the same generation.

UltraPulse is a Lumenis CO2 laser family whose current generation, ULTRApulse Alpha, delivers energy through the DeepFX, ActiveFX (CPG UltraScan) and TrueSpot scanners and handpieces.

UltraPulse is FDA-cleared through 510(k), so it is never “FDA-approved”, whatever a listing says.

FDA regulation 21 CFR 878.4810 covers laser surgical instruments for general and plastic surgery and dermatology, including CO2 lasers that cut, destroy or remove tissue by light energy.

UltraPulse sits beside other ablative systems with their own asking prices among used CO2 lasers listed alongside UltraPulse.

Check five things on a used UltraPulse: generation, scanners, output, service records and serviceability.

1. Generation: match the listing title (5000C, 3000C, Encore, DUO or Alpha) and year to the console label, because prices differ by generation.
2. Scanners: list which of DeepFX, ActiveFX (CPG UltraScan) and TrueSpot come with the unit, since value depends on them.
3. Output: ask for a live video demo and written output testing against the manufacturer's specifications.
4. Service records: ask for the full service history, pulse count and software version.
5. Serviceability: confirm with Lumenis that its certified engineers will service that generation and serial.

The output and service-record checks come from the remote-inspection checklist one US laser dealer publishes, and the full buying sequence sits in the used-laser buying steps that frame these UltraPulse checks.

A complete used ULTRApulse Alpha includes the CO2 console plus the scanners the seller names, from DeepFX, ActiveFX (CPG UltraScan) and the TrueSpot collimated handpiece.

Older listings name their scanners too: the $32,900 2011 unit is listed with a CPG scanner.

A console without its scanners is a different purchase, so price it against listings with the same set.

Lumenis does not publish a transfer, relicensing or recertification fee for pre-owned aesthetic systems, as of November 2026.

Its service page says service is done only by Lumenis-certified service engineers, and Lumenis sells service plans that cover parts, accessories, labor and travel.

Lumenis lists UltraPulse among the laser systems its service centers cover.

Ask Lumenis in writing for any fee and service-plan price on the exact serial before you pay a deposit.

Other Lumenis systems with their own service terms and asking prices are on the used Lumenis lineup beyond UltraPulse.

The federal labelling rule 21 CFR 801.109 says a prescription device is to be sold only to, or on the prescription or other order of, a licensed practitioner.

States add their own purchase rules on top, so check your state before a seller ships.

This is not legal advice.

The closest alternatives to a used UltraPulse are the Lumenis AcuPulse, the Candela CO2RE and the DEKA SmartXide DOT, listed at $3,995–$42,750, $19,000–$31,000 and $22,500 as of November 2026.

The AcuPulse range includes surgical SurgiTouch units, and its listings are on used AcuPulse prices to weigh against UltraPulse.

Every CO2RE price above is for a 2017 unit or one with no year shown, and the DOT is a 2011 unit listed with a new CO2 tube at 30 W.
