Aesthetic laser venture celebrates £4.5m worth of devices in UK market in maiden year

Leading international supplier of aesthetic laser devices, Laseraid, which has a base in Leeds, has enjoyed a successful first year of trading with laser devices now in market with a total value of £4.5m.

Launched in autumn 2021 with a multi-million war chest for acquisition with the backing of private investors and Australian market leader Laseraid is, the UK’s first ‘one stop shop’ for supplying the growing market in aesthetic laser technology. The business was started to meet the demand from current and aspiring aesthetic clinic owners throughout the UK for cost-effective and reliable access to industry-leading laser devices.

The company’s unique all-inclusive subscription model packages the rental of the machine, servicing costs, training and marketing into one fixed monthly payment, enabling new clinics to provide a wide choice of the most technically advanced devices from day one.

With its headquarters in Borehamwood, near London, featuring a showroom, training academy and service centre, Laseraid has also opened a second base in the north, located in Leeds, which includes a full workshop for maintenance and repairs as well as a showroom and training facilities. The team has grown from eight people a year ago to more than twenty service technicians, trainers, sales consultants and customer service staff across the UK.

“The Laseraid offering has been specifically designed to help clinics to try a variety of treatments and devices, introduce new ideas to their customers, and to help them scale up quickly, without the capital cost or lengthy financial commitments of purchasing machines,” explains Jamel Hussain, commercial director of Laseraid.

“Our model is proving extremely popular as it gives clinics maximum flexibility and growth potential; taking the pressure off clinic owners, leaving them more time to focus on running their business and providing the best service to their clients.

“Already, we have built a strong profile and reputation within the dynamic UK market as a trusted supplier, able to provide an extensive range of aesthetic laser devices from all of the premium brands. In our first year of trading in the UK, we have exceeded all our targets and are now working with over 150 high quality clinics, from Falkirk in Scotland, to London and down to Portsmouth on the South coast.”

As well as access to premium laser devices from industry-leading brands, Laseraid’s subscription model includes complete servicing and support in addition to initial and ongoing training, and monthly clinic supplies credit towards stocking up clinic supplies.

In recent years, the use of lasers by clinics, doctors and dermatology specialists has boomed as technology has become available to assist with a wide range of treatments including laser hair removal, tattoo removal, skin rejuvenation, fat freezing, body contouring and facial treatments. Laseraid offers a wide range of devices to deliver these services including models such as Alma Soprano Titanium, Candela GentleMAX Pro, Cynosure Elite, Préime Derma Facial and SylfirmX Microneedling.

Guy Bunn, COO of Laseraid, adds: “With a strong heritage as a market-leader in Australia, Laseraid has brought its expertise to the developing UK aesthetics sector, offering a revolutionary package which enables clinics to expand quickly and grow to their full potential. Having got our business off to a flying start here, there are exciting times ahead as we continue to support premium clinic operators and drive the industry forward.”
