The Aesthetic Device Atlas

Every energy-based device for face & body — placed on its technology lineage and its lifecycle arc (launch → peak → legacy), with the one number the sales rep won't show you: what it actually resells for today vs. new. Lasers are separated from RF, ultrasound, HIFEM and cold; lasers carry wavelength & chromophore (what tissue absorbs the energy). Resale figures are live asking-price comps. Click any device.
Energy
Area
How to read a node: the number inside is % of new price retained on the used market (median comp ÷ new MSRP). Color = energy type. Horizontal position = year the device line launched. A device far along the timeline with a low retention number is a rep's favorite upsell — new, expensive, and depreciating fast.  ·  Data: 40 devices, 158 live asking-price comps harvested 2026-10-21 (DOTmed, Bimedis, Machinio, eBay, dealer sites). Asking ≠ sold. New MSRP & launch years are approximate and being enriched. Thin-liquidity devices (1–2 comps) are indicative only. Built on Alvea's independent aesthetic device-market dataset.

What's moving the secondary market

Every device placed by demand trend (where the category is growing, from 2026 market data) against secondary-market activity (how many live used listings we're tracking). Dot color = % of new value it holds used; bigger dot = pricier when new. Top-right = hot & liquid — buyers want it and units are actually trading. Bottom-left = cold. Click any dot for the full record.

Movers — surging demand first

The market read — what's dying, what's rising

The one structural story: GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are splitting body work in two — demand is draining out of fat-removal devices and pouring into muscle/tone. The resale market has already repriced it.

Where the money goes next — segment demand to 2031

Projected category size, 2026 = 100, at each segment's published CAGR. This is the demand wind at a device's back (or in its face): body-contouring & RF-microneedling pull ahead; GLP-1 drugs leave non-invasive fat reduction the laggard.
“Listings we're tracking” counts active used listings in our comp sample — a supply/liquidity proxy, not confirmed units sold; true sold-volume per year is the next data layer. Demand trend is family-level, from 2026 market research: RF microneedling grows ~12%/yr (sources range 6–14%), body-contouring ~14% with HIFEM muscle surging, while GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are softening fat-reduction device demand (cryolipolysis / laser-lipo, ~6%).

Value my device

What it's really worth, how fast it'll sell, and who's buying near you — before a rep tells you it's "basically worthless, let's roll it into a new one."
Value band = p25–p75 of live asking-price comps for that model (asking ≠ sold). Regional buyer pool is drawn from 10,252 real aesthetic practices we've mapped across FL, NY & CA today; national buyer-matching rolls out via the NPPES provider graph next.

The Exchange

The entire US secondary market for aesthetic devices, in one index. We aggregate live listings across DOTmed, Bimedis, Machinio, eBay and the national dealer network — then price, rank and verify them. Browse every major device below; if a model isn't showing supply this week, we'll source it for you.
We are the index and demand layer on top of the market — we don't warehouse units, we locate, price and verify them, then connect you to a vetted seller with no dealer markup. “Listings tracked” are live asking-price listings in our index; supply refreshes continuously. Coverage spans the full US secondary market via the sources above.

Reclaim a dead laser

Got a dead, retired, or just-sitting-in-the-closet device? It is almost certainly not worthless — the handpieces, power supply and optics hold value even when the console is dead. Don't let a rep take it for $0 trade credit and dumpster it. Here's what it's actually worth and how to turn it into cash.
Part-out values are modeled from whole-unit comps (handpiece-rich laser/IPL platforms recover more than console-bound RF/muscle devices) and are indicative — a firm offer needs an inspection (which handpieces, hours, and whether the maker software-locked the unit). We route each device to its best outcome: whole-unit resale, parts harvest, refurbisher, or certified recycling.
