Consumable economics: Hyperice Normatec 2.0 Pro vs Ballancer Pro 505
Attribute	Hyperice Normatec 2.0 Pro	Ballancer Pro 505
Consumable cost / lock-in	—	Effectively none — the pants and jacket garments are durable, though high-volume operators budget for replacement garments ($2,000-$5,000 each) every few years and disposable liner suits ($2-$5/client) for hygiene. This near-zero consumable load is a genuine operating advantage over injectables or laser rooms.
