The legacy behind Q-switched technology MedLite C 6
A Booming Market Laser treatment of tattoos and pigmented lesions will expand with aging populations in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Worldwide procedure volume is expected to reach 7.5 million in 2017, generating $1.3 billion in fees 1.
MedLite C6 Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser features proven PhotoAcoustic technology and multiple wavelengths for efficient, reproducible treatment on all patient skin types.

PhotoAcoustic Technology The hallmark of PhotoAcoustic technology is high peak power and short pulse duration. This combination generates a PhotoAcoustic action against the target chromophore whether it s tattoo ink, pigment or collagen. The electro-optic (EO) Q-Switch, acting as a high-speed shutter, stores energy between pulses enabling the laser to produce peak power output of 200 megawatts in 5-20 nanosecond pulse widths. The MedLite C6 forces energy at such a high rate, the target chromophores vibrate and shatter, without harming the surrounding skin. Flat-Top Beam Profile PhotoAcoustic technology is delivered through MedLite C6 s homogenous, flat-top beam profile, without spikes or hot spots. As a result, energy is distributed evenly from the perimeter to the center of the beam, resulting in better fragmentation of the target chromophores with minimal to no epidermal injury. 1200mj
Proven Reliablility Built on ConBio s original Q-switched technology, MedLite C6 is best known as the industry s gold standard laser for multi-colored tattoo removal. It also provides a wide range of effective treatment applications, regardless of patient skin type. Anti-Aging Maintenance MedLite C6 s Q-Switched Nd: YAG technology can help resurface the skin through collagen stimulation. 2 Epidermal and Dermal Pigmented Lesions MedLite C6 is ideal for treating a wide variety of pigmented lesions including age spots, solar lentigines, café-au-lait lesions and dermal melanocytosis, including Nevus of Ota and Hori s Nevus. Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing (Wrinkle/Acne Scar Reduction) The Q-Switched 1064nm wavelength reduces acne scars and wrinkles with minimal to no downtime or discomfort.
