Lumenis UltraPulse (Encore)
used resale value & depreciation report
Where the Lumenis UltraPulse (Encore) stands on the used market
- Hard depreciator: only about 16% of its ~$180,000 new price survives to the used market — new, expensive, and sliding, the rep's favorite upsell.
- At 30 years (launched 1996) it is a veteran platform; age alone is not a reason to replace it — service, consumables and maker support are.
- Category demand is softening — for fat-reduction devices the GLP-1 wave is pulling demand away. Used prices keep sliding; price toward the low end.
A new unit depreciates hard the day it ships — the single best reason not to finance one.
