Candela Pro Capacitor Important Information

The capacitor is essentially a voltage storing box, whereby the High Voltage Power Supply feeds it with electrical energy. Laser and IPL machines often require high voltages which a standard wall outlet cannot provide. Therefore, the machine needs a capacitor to function. Pressing the trigger lets the machine instantly deliver significantly more power than a standard wall outlet can provide.

If the capacitor wears down, your machine will give you an error message and will not function until you replace the capacitor. There are capacitors in most electrical equipment today. Other electrical equipment uses capacitors for exactly the same purpose. They store energy and release it in a steady flow or a single burst, exactly as the equipment requires. Over time, capacitors can wear down and stop working as well. When this happens, it is time to replace it. Failure to replace the capacitor on time, can in rare instances cause an explosion. If you think you are having an issue with the capacitor in your laser or IPL aesthetic equipment, we recommend you call us immediately.
