Positioned in the highly competitive Tattoo Removal category, the Candela PicoWay offers a strong value proposition. Stripping out the consumable cost of $0, each treatment yields roughly $350 in gross profit before factoring in staff hourly wages and baseline overhead.
At a fully financed capital burden of $210,000, you would need to sell approximately 600 individual treatments to break completely even. If your clinic processes 5 treatments per week, your break-even period would be roughly 30.0 months.
