Two technologies in one cabinet, and no compromise on either
Most combination machines are a laser with an intense pulsed light head bolted on as an afterthought, or an IPL with a token diode. The ADPL-2 is not built that way. The diode side is the same 800W C-MAX quad wavelength engine we fit to our larger systems, and the IPL side runs a 1400W UK made xenon lamp with five filters, so both halves stand up on their own.
Seven treatments from one platform
These are the treatments the machine is built and supplied to deliver. Confirm with your own insurer that the list you intend to offer is covered before you commit.
Four wavelengths, because hair is not all the same
The quad build fires all four wavelengths as one blended output. Each one reaches a different sort of hair, which is why a single wavelength machine leaves work behind on a mixed clinic list.
- 800W output from US Coherent laser bars, 100 per cent pure gold tin AuSn stack
- Bar lifespan up to 20 million shots
- 15 × 15mm treatment spot with a 25 × 25mm sapphire cooling head
- Contact cooling before, during and after the pulse
- 1 to 10Hz repetition, 10 to 200ms adjustable pulse duration
The manufacturer also builds this handpiece as a single wavelength 808nm unit and as a triple wavelength 755, 808 and 1064nm unit, and lists 15 × 30mm and Ø8mm tips as options. We retail the quad wavelength build with the 15 × 15mm spot as standard, because on a mixed clinic list it is the configuration that does not run out of answers. If you want a different tip fitted, ask before you order rather than afterwards.
Five filters, one handpiece
The intense pulsed light handpiece takes five interchangeable filters. Changing the filter changes what the light is aimed at, so the same handpiece covers hair, acne, vessels, pigment and general rejuvenation.
| Filter | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| 480nm | Acne therapy |
| 530nm | Skin rejuvenation, thread veins and facial redness |
| 590nm | Pigmentation reduction |
| 640nm | Hair removal, Fitzpatrick I to III |
| 690nm | Hair removal, Fitzpatrick IV to VI |
Two modes of operation
- 1400W output, UK made xenon lamp with a guaranteed one million shot lifespan
- Built in cooling rated to minus 20 degrees at the treatment head
- Twin 22,000µF capacitors for stable energy delivery pulse after pulse
- IPL 1 to 50 J/cm², SHR 1 to 26 J/cm²
- IPL pulse 1 to 10ms, SHR pulse 1 to 15ms, 1 to 10Hz
It tells you what is wrong before you have to guess
A laser that stops mid list is a bad afternoon. This one monitors itself continuously and names the fault on screen rather than showing a general error and leaving you to ring somebody.
- Sapphire crystal, air, closed water circulation, semiconductor and TEC cooling
- Ten to twelve hours of continuous standby working
- Easy change water filter
- Runs on 100 to 110V or 230 to 260V, 50 to 60Hz
Three spot sizes in one handpiece, recognised automatically
Both handpieces carry their own screen, so the operator sets and reads the treatment at the point of contact rather than turning back to the trolley. Tips change by hand and the machine works out which one you have fitted.
Intelligent tip recognition
Three 3D magnetic smart tips cover the whole treatment range: 15 x 30mm for the body, 15 x 15mm for the face and Ø8mm for detail work. Fit any tip and the machine identifies it and loads the pre-set parameters for it.
360 degree cooling
Full contact between tip and handle gives cooling all the way round rather than on one face, which is what keeps a long session comfortable for the client.
Sapphire held at 4°C
A high precision PT100 sensor inside the handpiece monitors cooling temperature and output energy in real time, holding the sapphire crystal at a constant 4°C so the epidermis stays protected.
Screen on the handpiece
Energy, pulse and frequency are shown and adjusted on the handpiece itself. The IPL handpiece has the same arrangement with its own display.
Filters recognised too
The five IPL filters are recognised in the same way, so the handpiece knows which wavelength is loaded and will not run a filter at the wrong settings.
Three IPL spot sizes
15 x 60mm for large areas, 15 x 35mm for medium and 15 x 20mm for precise facial work, all from the one IPL handpiece.
Specified for clinical reliability, not lowest cost
Every component in the ADPL-2 is sourced from established manufacturers. Sound engineering is what underpins long term clinical reliability, and it is the part of a machine you cannot see on a spec sheet.
US Coherent laser bars
The diode stack is built on imported US Coherent laser bars with 100 per cent pure AuSn construction.
UK imported xenon lamp
Made in the UK and protected by the double water filter system, which is a large part of how it reaches its stated one million shot lifespan.
Double water filtration
A PP cotton filter removes particulates and a resin filter removes metal ions such as calcium. Diode laser bars demand very high water quality.
Japanese HCG capacitors
Industrial capacitors, twin 22,000µF giving 44,000µF in total, delivering stable uninterrupted power without pulse fluctuation.
32-bit intelligent processor
Proprietary intelligent processor for precise parameter control, with a self intelligent alarm protection system.
Schneider and Dazhi components
Schneider brand switch and solid state relay, Dazhi power supply, brushless DC water pump and Korean made water filters.

Registration of a medical device with the MHRA records who is responsible for it. It is not accreditation, certification, approval or endorsement, and we never describe it as such.
Copies of the certificates, the MHRA registration confirmation and the supporting test reports are held on file and supplied with the machine. If your clinic is in a London borough you will also need a special treatment licence from your council before you can treat.
Buying direct from the factory
Clinics are sometimes offered the same machine directly by the manufacturer at a lower headline price. We would rather set out plainly what that price does not include than pretend the offer is not made.
Through Skintastic
Included in the price
- Engineer installation and calibration
- On site PAT testing and operational handover
- Ofqual regulated qualification pathway and Core of Knowledge
- Twelve months of named Laser Protection Adviser support from Dr Godfrey Town
- Bespoke local rules written for your premises
- Eighteen month UK warranty, twelve months on the diode bars and lamp
- UK engineer servicing, spares and consumables held here
- FCA regulated finance
- Custom shell, engraved logo and LED handpiece branding
Direct from the factory
What lands on you instead
- You become the importer of record, and you are the one the MHRA comes to
- You must hold the technical documentation yourself
- You must produce the certificate for your insurer, your LPA and your council
- In a London borough they ask before granting your special treatment licence
- You must satisfy yourself the exact model is on the notified body certificate
- No UK warranty and no UK engineer
- A fault means shipping a handpiece to Beijing at your cost, and waiting
- No training, no local rules and no LPA
- Those are the documents an inspection actually looks at
A device imported directly from the manufacturer carries none of the first column, and the purchaser themselves takes on the legal obligations of the importer under the UK Medical Devices Regulations.
We are not saying this to protect a margin. We are saying it because we have spent this year sorting out exactly these problems for clinics who bought elsewhere, and it is far harder to fix afterwards than to get right at the start.
Who you will need, and where you will need them
Buying the laser is the straightforward part. What stops clinics trading is usually the paperwork around it, and most people meet these three roles for the first time when a council asks for them. Here is what each one is, in plain terms.
LPA
Laser Protection Adviser
An independent, certified laser safety specialist, normally RPA2000 registered. The LPA carries out a site audit of your treatment room, writes your Local Rules and risk assessment, specifies the correct protective eyewear for your exact wavelengths, and defines the controlled area. This is the appointment a licensing authority will always ask about. Your LPA is not your supplier and should not be.
LPS
Laser Protection Supervisor
Usually you, or a senior member of your team. The LPS is the person on site who is responsible day to day for the Local Rules actually being followed, for keeping the treatment register and the authorised user register, and for making sure nobody operates the machine who is not trained and named. The LPA writes the rules. The LPS lives by them.
EMP
Expert Medical Practitioner
A GMC registered doctor who issues your written Treatment Protocol for that specific device and remains available for clinical advice, on photosensitive medication, on adverse reactions and on contraindications. Their CV, GMC registration and insurance schedule are supplied for your council inspector. Also referred to as an ERHP.
Not every authority writes the EMP into its licence conditions. Some do, some treat it as advisory and some simply ask you to hold a list of practitioners. Our own Laser Protection Adviser recommends appointing one in every case, because a protocol cannot be back-dated and a doctor is only realistically available to you after an incident if they were already retained before it.
Where a licence is required
Licensing is not national. It depends on whether your council holds the local powers, which is why two clinics doing identical work in different towns can face completely different requirements. These are the areas where a licence is commonly required for laser and IPL.
| Area | Authorities |
|---|---|
| All 32 London boroughs | Barking and Dagenham, Barnet, Bexley, Brent, Bromley, Camden, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Haringey, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Kingston upon Thames, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Newham, Redbridge, Richmond upon Thames, Southwark, Sutton, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth and Westminster |
| Nottinghamshire | Nottingham City, Broxtowe, Gedling and Rushcliffe |
| Kent and Medway | Ashford, Canterbury, Dartford, Dover, Folkestone and Hythe, Gravesham, Maidstone, Medway, Sevenoaks, Swale, Thanet, Tonbridge and Malling, Tunbridge Wells |
| Sussex | Brighton and Hove, Eastbourne, Lewes and Wealden |
| Midlands | Birmingham, Coventry, Derby, Leicester, Northamptonshire, Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent and Worcestershire |
| North East | Darlington, Durham, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough and Stockton-on-Tees |
| Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland | Regulated instead by the national healthcare inspectorates, HIW in Wales, HIS in Scotland and RQIA in Northern Ireland |
This list is a guide and not a substitute for asking. Powers change, and some authorities apply them differently from their neighbours. Before you commit to premises, telephone the licensing team at your own council and ask two questions: do we need a special treatment licence for laser and IPL, and do your conditions require an Expert Medical Practitioner. Get the answer in writing.
If your council does not hold these powers, you are not off the hook. Your obligations under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010 and BS EN 60825 apply everywhere, and your insurer will ask for the same documents whether or not a licence is involved.
Different rules again, and the reason clinics there struggle to buy
Outside England there is no council licence. Instead the clinic itself is registered and inspected by a national healthcare inspectorate, and the standard of documentation they expect is higher, not lower. This is where most machines on the market fall down, and it is the most common reason a clinic in Cardiff or Glasgow cannot find a laser it is allowed to buy.
What an inspector actually asks to see
In all three nations the inspection turns on documents. These are the ones that concern the machine itself, and they are the ones we supply with every machine we supply.
- The notified body certificate, naming the body and its number
- Evidence of device registration and who the UK Responsible Person is
- The manufacturer conformity documentation
- The classification, Class 4 to BS EN 60825-1
- Full instructions for use in English, not a brochure
- Wavelengths, maximum output and pulse parameters for eyewear specification
- Compliance with BS EN 60601-2-22 for the laser
- Test reports and the technical file for your LPA
One distinction worth knowing, because sellers blur it. HIW, HIS and RQIA register the clinic, not the machine. No laser is HIW registered or HIS approved, and anybody telling you otherwise is misleading you. What the machine needs is a complete and accurate documentation pack so that your registration can succeed.
That is the whole difficulty. Plenty of machines are sold in the United Kingdom at attractive prices with a certificate that turns out to cover electrical safety rather than medical device conformity, with a manual that is really a sales brochure, or with no named UK Responsible Person at all. A clinic in Wales or Scotland often only discovers the gap when the inspector asks, by which point they own the machine.
We send the documentation pack before you buy, not after. If you are registering with HIW, HIS or RQIA, ask and we will email the certificates, the registration confirmation, the test reports and the instructions for use, so that you or your adviser can check them against your application before you spend anything.
We supply the paperwork, not just the laser
Every ADPL-2 on the Complete Clinical Package is supplied with the governance framework already built around it, so you are not left to assemble it yourself after the machine arrives.
We can also arrange the Expert Medical Practitioner and Treatment Protocol through our Laser Protection Adviser if your council requires one, or if you simply want the clinical cover. Ask and we will quote it separately.
Trained properly, not just shown the buttons
Three days of on site operator training are included on the full package, and the applicable Ofqual regulated qualification pathway comes with it, subject to entry requirements. Where the prerequisites are not held we issue a CPD certificate and set out exactly what you need to do to reach Level 4.
