Laser Tattoo Removal with the medlite
The revlite™ and medlite® C Series EO Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers represent the gold standard for tattoo removal. With multiple wavelengths to choose from, physicians can use the optimum wavelength that passes into the skin and is absorbed by a specific color ink, customizing the treatment for each patient and each individual tattoo. HOYA conbio™ lasers are engineered to force energy into the target molecules at such a high rate, they vibrate and shatter. This photoacoustic effect breaks the ink down into tiny particles, which are gradually removed by the bodys natural filtering systems. The revlite™ features photoacoustic Technology Pulse™ (PTP), harnessing up to 60 percent more power to deliver peak energy in very narrow pulse widths even at larger spot sizes, while maintaining patient comfort. As a result, the photoacoustic Technology Pulse™ (PTP) found in revlite™ enables physicians to clear stubborn tattoos safely, comfortably and in potentially fewer treatment sessions. The revlite™ also features pre-programmed settings for tattoo removal and other aesthetic indications in a new intuitive touch screen user interface. Professional tattoos, on average, require eight to fifteen or more treatments, while amateur tattoos require four or more sessions due to the different composition of inks. Treatments are spaced approximately six to eight weeks apart. With the use of a revlite™ or medlite® C Series laser, physicians often achieve greater than 95 percent fading.
