FDA-cleared aesthetic lasers, priced like the industry should have priced them all along.
Physician-founded. Components sourced direct, devices assembled in-house. No distributor markup, no commissioned national sales force, no conference-sponsorship budget. Just the device, physician-developed protocols, and direct support from the engineer who built it.
Where your $150,000 actually goes.
A typical $150K aesthetic laser breaks down roughly like this. Most of it isn't device. It's the cost of an industry built around national sales teams, distributor channels, and corporate overhead. You're not paying for better technology. You're paying for the infrastructure that sells it to you.
Same medical-grade components, different cost structure.
Solas is built differently. Ciaran Smythe, the founder, is a physician-engineer who designs, sources, and assembles the devices personally. You pay for the device and the training. Read the full breakdown →
Built by a physician, not a sales team.
Ciaran Smythe
Physician-engineer · Founder, Solas Medical
Ciaran got tired of paying $150,000 for $40,000 worth of laser. Every device is designed in-house, sourced direct from medical-grade component suppliers, and assembled before it ships. When you call for support, you talk to the person who built your machine, not a call center.

What practices ask us first.
We've heard every version of these. Here are the honest answers.
Why is it so cheap? What's the catch?
Most common thing we hear, and it's a fair question. The short answer: most of a $150K competitor device isn't the device. It's the national sales force, the conference budget, the distributor margin, the corporate overhead. Solas's founder is a physician-engineer who got tired of paying for that and sources the same medical-grade components directly. Same FDA clearance, same parts, different cost structure.
I've never heard of Solas.
We're newer and smaller than Cynosure or Lumenis, and that's part of why we can price this way. We don't have 200 sales reps and conference booths to pay for. The proof we can offer is FDA clearance, histology studies on the resurfacing devices, and a direct conversation with the founder. If that's not enough, the device probably isn't the right fit yet, and that's fine to say up front.
What if I need service or support?
You call the founder. Ciaran built the machine; he supports it. No tier-1 call center, no escalation queues. Practical implication: warranty work and parts come direct from a small US-based team rather than a regional service network. That means quick phone diagnosis, but slower emergency same-day field service in remote areas. We'll be honest about that on a demo.
My patients expect a name-brand device on the wall.
Patients pick a practice on results, reviews, and word of mouth. They don't pick on the laser brand. The savings can be redirected into patient acquisition like Instagram ads, Google, content. That's what actually moves the needle on bookings. Most patients couldn't name the laser brand at their last derm visit if you asked them.
I could get a used Cynosure for that price.
A used Cynosure means no manufacturer warranty, unknown maintenance history, possibly outdated firmware, no training, and a parts pipeline that depends on a third-party broker staying in business. New Solas with full warranty, founder-direct support, and current-generation hardware is a different purchase entirely. The price comparison gets even better when you include training and warranty in the math.
What's included.
From founder support to FDA clearance, the full package.
FDA clearance
Every device cleared for U.S. clinical use. Verifiable on the FDA's 510(k) database.
Physician-developed protocols
Every parameter trialed and validated by the founder. Histology-confirmed where applicable.
Exclusive video training
Treatment-specific training videos for every device. Built for clinical staff, not marketing demos.
Direct founder support
Technical questions go to Ciaran himself, the engineer who designed your device. Not a tier-1 call center.
Full warranty
Manufacturer warranty included. Specifics vary by device. Request a demo for full terms.
Consumable-free designs
Several devices, including IPL Pro, are designed without recurring consumable costs. Higher operating margin per treatment.
What you'd see on a demo that you don't see here.
We'd rather admit the gaps than fake the proof.
- ●Before/after galleries from real patients (we don't post them publicly without consent).
- ●Histology slides for the resurfacing and pico devices.
- ●Specific financing terms, including in-house plans and third-party options sized to your practice.
- ●References from practices already using each device.
