Laser Tattoo Removal – RevLite™ and MedLite® C Series Aesthetic Medical Lasers

With the rising popularity of tattoos, there has been a simultaneous rise in the number of people who wish to have their tattoos removed. For some, tattoos represent an impulsive decision that now may affect the rest of their lives. For others, the tattoos from their youth are simply no longer relevant to their lives today. Laser tattoo removal can provide a solution. HOYA ConBio™ aesthetic medical lasers have helped many physicians remove unwanted and out-of-date tattoos for their patients. The versatile RevLite™ and MedLite® C6 EO Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers can reliably remove dark ink and red ink tattoos, as well as the increasingly common green and sky blue ink. Each color can pose challenges during laser tattoo removal if the correct wavelength is not available. Fortunately, the RevLite™ and MedLite® C6 lasers offer the correct wavelengths for full-color spectrum tattoo removal. In fact, the MedLite® C6 won the 2005 Aesthetic Trends and Technologies’ Laser & Light Choice Award for the Best Tattoo Removal Laser.

How RevLite™ and MedLite® C Series Lasers Work To Remove Tattoos

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 body’s 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 six to eight or more treatments, while amateur tattoos require four or more sessions due to the different composition of inks. Treatments are spaced approximately four to eight weeks apart. With the use of a RevLite™ or MedLite® C Series laser, physicians often achieve greater than 95 percent fading. That’s why RevLite™ and MedLite® lasers are known worldwide as the first choice for multi-color tattoo removal.

Dark Ink Tattoo Removal with RevLite™ and MedLite® C Series Lasers

With a long wavelength, short pulse duration, and high peak power output, both the RevLite™ and MedLite® aesthetic medical lasers are able to effectively destroy dark chromophores (i.e., tattoo ink) with a very low risk of permanent tissue damage. When compared to lasers in the 600 to 800 nm range, the 1064 nm wavelength produced by a HOYA ConBio™ laser lowers the risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. The short, rapid nanosecond pulse widths limit the build-up of heat, reducing the risk of scarring.

Red Ink Laser Tattoo Removal with the RevLite™ and MedLite® C Series Lasers

The shorter 532 nm wavelength found in the RevLite™ and MedLite® lasers is ideal for the removal of red ink, common in professional tattoos and typically resistant to 600 to 800 nm wavelengths. The greater range of wavelengths is just another benefit of the premium engineering of the RevLite™ and MedLite® series lasers. An assortment of wavelength options allow physicians to perform effective treatments on a variety of tattoos – and provide a wide variety of aesthetic procedures, making a HOYA ConBio™ laser a vital, versatile addition to any aesthetic medical practice.

Green and Sky Blue Tattoo Removal with the RevLite™ and MedLite® C6 Lasers

The MultiLite Dye Laser Handpieces compatible with HOYA ConBio™ lasers convert the 532 nm wavelength to either 585 nm or 650 nm, effectively offering two additional wavelengths and providing an even broader range of options in tattoo removal and other aesthetic procedures. The 585 nm wavelength is ideal for sky blue inks and the 650 nm wavelength is used to treat green inks.
