The first ten minutes after a fault
- Write down or photograph the exact error code and message
- Note what the system was doing — warming up, firing, idle
- Check coolant level and that filters and vents are not blocked
- Power the system down properly; don't repeatedly restart through an alarm
- Call or text a technician with the model, code and photos
Why coastal and inland San Diego wear lasers differently
Coastal practices from Oceanside to Imperial Beach see more humidity and salt air, which is hard on optics and electronics. Inland practices in El Cajon, Escondido and Temecula see more heat and dust, which loads filters and chillers. Both benefit from regular preventive maintenance tuned to the location.
Preventive maintenance timing
Busy medspas running hair removal and IPL daily should plan a PM visit every six months. Coolant and filter service at least yearly prevents most cooling alarms — the most common reason we're called out.
Have a downtime plan
- Keep your technician's number posted by the device
- Know which treatments can move to another device
- Ask about a service agreement for priority response
