Used Nd:YAG Lasers for Sale, With Used Price Ranges by Model

The table above shows dealer asking prices for each model, as of November 2026, from AestheticDeviceMarket used price data.

Asking prices are what sellers list, not what a laser sold for, so expect room to negotiate.

Generation moves the price more than age alone: 2024 Cutera xeo+ units are listed starting at $54,000 and at $60,000, while a 2005 xeo listed as an Nd:YAG unit is asking $14,000.

Q-switched units also vary widely, from a 2018 Lutronic Spectra listed at $19,900 to a 2022 Hollywood Spectra asking $74,950.

Used Nd:YAG lasers are listed at $6,500 to $79,995 as of November 2026, depending on pulse type, generation and handpieces.

The low end is a 2006 Cutera xeo SA listed at $6,500, and the high end is a Candela GentleMax Pro listed at $79,995 by a dealer.

Cutera's 510(k) for the current generation lists the xeo+ SA as a pulsed-light system, so ask whether an SA unit includes an Nd:YAG handpiece.

The 2005 xeo listed as an Nd:YAG unit is asking $14,000.

Nd:YAG lasers differ mainly by pulse length: long-pulse systems fire in milliseconds for hair and veins, Q-switched systems fire in nanoseconds for tattoo ink, and picosecond systems fire in trillionths of a second.

The Aerolase Neo line fires 1,064 nm with a 650-microsecond pulse on all three current models.

Many platforms add 1,064 nm to another source, including Candela's Nordlys and Vbeam Pro and Fotona's SP Dynamis Max, which pairs it with Er:YAG at 2,940 nm.

All of these are Class II devices, so they are FDA-cleared through 510(k), not FDA-approved.

Check the pulse mode, the Nd:YAG pulse count and the handpieces before you pay.

1. Confirm the pulse mode. FDA's 510(k) K171227 describes the Fotona StarWalker family as Q-switched and long-pulse Nd:YAG with 532 nm KTP, and Fotona's picosecond model is the StarWalker PQX, so match the listing to the model name.
2. Ask for the Nd:YAG pulse count on its own. Good listings split it out, such as a 2016 Cutera excel HR listed with 452,984 Nd:YAG and 219,492 alexandrite pulses, or a 2017 Aerolase LightPod Neo V650 listed with 415,383 pulses.
3. Count the handpieces. A xeo+ console has an integrated 1,064 nm Nd:YAG handpiece plus one or more user-installable ones, and a 2019 xeo listed at $30,000 came with five handpieces, one of them Nd:YAG.
4. Check the power supply. The Lutronic Clarity II needs 220–230 V on a 30 A circuit, and the Astanza Trinity runs on 220 V.
5. Call the manufacturer about service. Cutera and Fotona publish no transfer or recertification fee, and Cynosure's terms of sale list none for used systems, so get the figure in writing first.

Cutera filed pre-packaged Chapter 11 cases on March 5, 2025, and told customers the process had no impact on service or support.

The Cutera xeo is the most-listed Nd:YAG platform in our November 2026 price data, with 18 asking prices from 9 sellers between $6,500 and $60,000.

The Candela GentleMax Pro follows with 10 asking prices from $29,900 to $79,995, and the Cutera excel HR with 8 from $16,975 to $49,000.

The Lutronic Spectra has 7 asking prices from $19,900 to $74,950, and the Cynosure RevLite has 4 from $24,900 to $44,000.

The Lumenis Splendor X and Lutronic Clarity II had no current US asking prices to publish a range in November 2026.

If you are choosing between two dual-wavelength platforms, read how the GentleMax Pro and Splendor X compare as alexandrite and Nd:YAG platforms.

Candela's Gentle Pro Series, including the GentleYag Pro, uses DCD cryogen cooling, so cryogen canisters are a running cost.

Handpieces also trade separately: a 2020 Cynosure Elite+ 10 mm handpiece is listed at $250 by a dealer.

Cutera and Fotona publish no transfer fee and Cynosure's terms of sale list none for used systems, and the figures by brand are in transfer and recertification terms for Nd:YAG makers.
