Aesthetic laser systems demand increasing power, precision, and reliability - while reducing cost and time to market.

We help OEMs meet these challenges through advanced photonics engineering, in-house crystal capability, and scalable manufacturing.

How G&H works in aesthetic lasers

Working with skin requires precision and control. Our aesthetic laser solutions are underpinned by world-class photonics engineering design and the highest standards of manufacturing production to deliver greater accuracy, reliability and effectiveness.

Applications we support include:

  • Hair removal
  • Skin resurfacing and rejuvenation
  • Tattoo removal
  • Treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions, e.g. melasma

Overcoming technical challenges in aesthetic lasers

We help OEMs push laser performance - enabling higher power, improved beam quality, and greater system stability.

Our expertise addresses challenges such as:

  • Power scaling limitations
  • Thermal and piezo-optical effects
  • Pulse control and energy stability

Backed by vertically integrated manufacturing and deep engineering expertise across the UK and USA, we deliver solutions optimized for real-world device performance.

Developing complete aesthetic devices

While our origins lie in laser photonics and subsystems, many customers require support beyond the optical engine.

Through G&H | ITL, we provide:

  • Full device design and development
  • System integration across optics, electronics, and software
  • Regulatory-compliant design and manufacturing
  • Scalable production for global markets

Durable products and custom solutions

When standard solutions aren’t suitable, we develop custom acousto-optic and Pockels cell solutions to meet your aesthetic laser needs. We bake longevity and reliability into the design and manufacture of every component, enabling our customers to reduce maintenance costs while improving accuracy. By providing better value over the product lifetime, we help our customers to become more competitive.
