IPL Typical Earnings (Pay As You Go)
An illustration of the potential earnings, when choosing the SkinBase™ IPL machine, PAYG option.
What sort of profit can I expect?
PAYG reinvents how to operate and maintain professional equipment in your business. For a simple treatment fee, all servicing, spares, consumables, training and marketing support is included. Business owners know the exact cost to perform a treatment and can therefore accurately calculate their gross profit margins.
The PAYG version requires no investment. All we ask for is a FULLY REFUNDABLE security deposit of £1000 or £2000 (dependent on 6 or 12 month deal) and that you spend at least £38 per week on treatment fees.
The SkinBase™ IPL machine will communicate with our headquarters every time a treatment is performed. The operator will then pay a fixed fee based on the type of treatment that has been performed – enough flashes will always be included to complete the selected treatment. After 15,000 flashes a new hand piece and lamp will be sent to you free of charge.
Here you can see some calculations of the sort of earnings you can expect to make based on the type and the number of treatments which you can carry out. The RRP shown is simply a guide, you are free to decide your own treatment pricing, the payg costs are fixed.

Hair Removal Treatments
No IPL or Laser system will ever achieve 100% permanent results. Typically 6-10 treatments may be needed at intervals of 4-6 weeks to see long lasting results. Any hair re-growth will be softer and finer than before. Some treatments such as underarms are extremely profitable and can bring in earnings of over £300 an hour.
| Treatment | Cost (exc. VAT) | RRP* | Profit | Treatment Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upper Lip | £11.10 | £40 | £28.90 | 10 mins |
| Bikini 20 | £19.40 | £70 | £50.60 | 10 mins |
| Underarm | £19.40 | £70 | £50.60 | 10 mins |
| Total: | £50.90 | £180 | £129.10 | 30 mins |
*The RRP shown is simply a guide to pricing, different areas of the country can command a higher price. You are free to decide your own treatment prices. For a cost of £85.95 you can make more than £224.05 profit in 1 hour of treatment time. If you carried out 1 hour of hair removal treatments per day over 5 days this would be £1,120.25 profit per week and over a year (48 weeks) £53,760 profit for your business (based on our guide RRP). Deduct your therapists time; 240 hours at £10 an hour = £2,400 leaving you with over £50,000 profit for just one hour a day of treatments.
Advanced IPL Treatments
The SkinBase™ IPL system is a medical grade device meaning it can not only provide effective results for hair removal but can also be used to treat acne, vascular lesions and carry out photo rejuvenation to treat fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and remove pigmentation.
Treatment courses
Broken capillaries, thread veins, rosacea & cherry angiomas require 1-3 treatments maximum, at 2-3 week intervals. A reduction in pigmentation and sun spots will require 3-6 treatments at 2-3 week intervals. Active acne & repair scarring requires 3-4 treatments at 2-3 week intervals.
