Splendor X Alternative: AlexDUAL UFO Alexandrite + Nd:YAG from the German Manufacturer

The Splendor X from Lumenis combines alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) and can deliver both wavelengths simultaneously in BLEND X mode. Anyone searching for "buy Splendor X", "Splendor X price" or a Splendor X alternative usually compares spot size, working speed, cooling and skin types. SIACSKIN's AlexDUAL UFO likewise combines 755 nm alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG in one system, with a square spot of 10 to 40 mm, in-house developed compressor cooling and the SIA AI, which determines the parameters via cameras in the handpiece. Made in Düsseldorf, financeable from approx. €1,190 per month.

Note on power: for the AlexDUAL UFO, SIACSKIN states a total power in watts, while Lumenis states pulse energy and average power for the Splendor X. These values describe different measured quantities and cannot be set directly against each other. For a fair comparison, fluence, spot size, pulse duration and frequency count together.

Mixing simultaneously or choosing deliberately

The Splendor X's BLEND X mode delivers alexandrite and Nd:YAG in the same pulse; according to Lumenis, you set the proportions by skin type, hair color and hair thickness. With the AlexDUAL UFO, both wavelengths are in the same device, and the SIA AI analyzes skin type and area and sets energy, pulse duration and frequency automatically. This reduces setting errors and shortens the training time for new employees. Background on both wavelengths can be found in the article Alexandrite laser and Nd:YAG laser.

Spot size, speed and cooling

Both manufacturers rely on a square spot so that the tracks line up without gaps or overlaps. The Splendor X reaches up to 27 × 27 mm, the AlexDUAL UFO up to 40 mm, at up to 10 Hz. For large areas such as back and legs, this makes a difference in treatment time. For cooling, Lumenis combines Cryo-Touch and Cryo-Air with cold air in its Dual Cooling System. The AlexDUAL UFO cools via compressor cooling developed in Düsseldorf, directly in the device, with no external cooling unit and no coolant to repurchase. More on this in the overview of skin cooling.

When which device fits better

  • Splendor X: if you want to work specifically with simultaneous emission of both wavelengths or offer indications such as onychomycosis and warts, provided they are approved in your country.
  • AlexDUAL UFO: if you are looking for a large spot up to 40 mm, AI-assisted parameters, no shot costs, service from Germany and financing directly from the manufacturer.
  • Focus on hair removal with a smaller budget: The DEWEON 4LD diode laser (from approx. €470/month) covers almost all skin types, except very dark skin. The difference is explained in Diode laser or alexandrite laser.

Frequently asked questions

Can the AlexDUAL UFO also treat dark skin?

Yes. With the Nd:YAG 1064 nm you treat dark skin types up to Fitzpatrick VI and deep-seated follicles; the alexandrite 755 nm is ideal for light skin and fine, lighter hair. This way the AlexDUAL UFO covers skin types I to VI.

Does the AlexDUAL UFO need an external cooling unit?

No. The 4-fold cooling with compressor and integrated skin cooling is built into the device. An external cooling unit is not necessary, and the device is ready for use in 5 seconds.

What can the AlexDUAL UFO do besides hair removal?

With 755 nm you treat pigment and age spots, freckles and seborrheic keratoses. With 1064 nm, skin tightening and skin rejuvenation, vessels and spider veins as well as rosacea are added.

What does an alexandrite laser with Nd:YAG cost per month?

As an example: the AlexDUAL UFO is available on leasing from approx. €1,190 net per month over a 60-month term, subject to credit check. With no shot costs, the investment is spread across all treatments; you can do your own calculation in the price calculator.

How does the AlexDUAL UFO differ from Clarity II and GentleMax Pro?

These devices also work with 755 and 1064 nm. Differences lie in spot size, cooling and AI. You will find the detailed comparison on our page on the alternative to Clarity II and GentleMax Pro.
