Why Maintain Your Aspen Laser System
A laser isn’t just a tool or an expense; it’s an investment in your business. It’s also an investment in your patients’ or clients’ health, one they’ll get residual benefits from, while you earn residual revenue.
Maintaining your machine, as simple as the process is, ensures your device is always in top working order and delivers the highest performance in every session. Invest the time and resources into your device and have confidence in the output.
4 Maintenance Tips For Class IV Aspen Laser Devices
Cleaning The Lens
Regularly clean the handpiece lens with an alcohol wipe after every use. This keeps the lens clear so light is not deflected, blocked, or diffused. It also promotes sanitary use, preventing the spread of germs or debris from one patient to another.
Dust Protection: Handpiece
Keep dust from collecting around the handpiece connection port and never leave the laser handpiece detached without capping the open port. Dust in the fiber optic cable line or port can cause the laser to blow out.
Dust Protection: Casing and Vents
Keep dust away from the casing and vents. Dust accumulating around the vents can cause the fans to labor unnecessarily and eventually fail when cooling the laser diodes. If not properly cooled, laser diodes can have a shorter lifespan.
Backup Handpieces
We recommend you always have one backup handpiece available. This is the most frequently replaced part, either after extensive use or due to damage. The most common cause of damage or the need for replacement is dropped handpieces. Never miss a treatment when you have a backup available. Shop parts and accessories online.
How Your Aspen Laser Device Works & How To Use It
- Wear Safety Glasses: While the light isn’t dangerous to the skin, the eyes are more sensitive to light. If you’re within 6 feet of the laser, eye protection is always recommended.
- User-Friendly Touchscreen Interface: All models have a touchscreen for easy implementation and quick application every time.
- Handpiece: Apply firm and consistent pressure to the target area in a slow, sliding motion. Maintain treatment in 2- to 3-minute increments, constantly assessing comfort, less for some applications.
- Set Custom Depth Variables: Depending on the model in use, there are multiple features that are easy to implement, including manual, custom, or preset protocols, self-calibration, Continuous Wave (CW), Pulsed Modes (Frequencies), and more.
- NIR Light: Laser therapy uses near-infrared (NIR) laser light to stimulate the mitochondria of the body’s cells and increase ATP production.[1]
- Boost ATP: Increased ATP levels boost cellular energy and can help the body naturally address common concerns, such as reducing pain and inflammation.[2]
- Stimulating Natural Healing: Laser therapy supports the body’s natural healing process through a safe, non-invasive procedure that is an alternative to pain-reducing drugs.
Laser therapy offers relief and recovery in minutes, not weeks or months.

Real Life Laser Results
“We have had a 47-w Apex laser for a year now and have helped so many patients with the technology that we wouldn’t have been able to help in the past. A short list of my favorites has been: acute disc herniations, arthritic joints, TMJD, concussion syndromes, and shingles.”

Every patient result is a story. One you could also bring to life for your patients, too.
