The Cynosure Medlite C6 Laser is a versatile and advanced Q-switched Nd laser system widely recognized in the field of dermatology and aesthetic treatments. It is designed for a broad range of skin-related procedures, including tattoo removal, skin rejuvenation, pigmentation issues, and vascular lesions. Key features and characteristics of the Medlite C6 include:
Key Features:
Dual Wavelength Technology:
The Medlite C6 operates at two wavelengths: 1064 nm and 532 nm. The 1064 nm wavelength is ideal for treating deeper pigmented lesions and darker skin types, while the 532 nm wavelength is more effective for targeting superficial pigmentation and brighter colors in tattoos, such as reds and oranges.
Q-Switched Technology:
This laser system uses Q-switched technology, which delivers extremely short pulses of laser energy, typically in nanoseconds. This high-energy, rapid pulsing allows the Medlite C6 to break down pigmented particles in tattoos and skin lesions effectively, while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Multi-Spot Handpieces:
The device includes multiple spot sizes (ranging from 2mm to 8mm) for customizable treatments. This flexibility ensures that practitioners can tailor the laser energy to different areas of the body or skin conditions, making it suitable for precise applications, from small pigmentation spots to larger areas for tattoo removal.
PhotoAcoustic Effect:
The laser operates using a photoacoustic rather than a photothermal approach. This means that instead of relying on heat, the Medlite C6 uses sound waves to shatter ink particles or pigment cells, resulting in more efficient and less painful treatments, with minimal risk of scarring.
Reputation for Tattoo Removal:
It is highly regarded as one of the top laser devices for tattoo removal. The combination of its wavelengths and energy pulsing effectively treats both dark inks (like black and blue) and lighter colors (like red and yellow), making it a go-to solution for multi-colored tattoo removal.
Non-Ablative Skin Rejuvenation:
The Medlite C6 is also effective for non-ablative skin rejuvenation procedures. It can help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and minimize pore size, offering an overall improvement in skin tone without the need for extensive downtime.
Safe for Various Skin Types:
Due to its adjustable wavelengths and advanced energy settings, the Medlite C6 can treat a wide range of skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI). It is suitable for individuals with both lighter and darker skin tones, making it a versatile tool in diverse aesthetic and dermatological practices.
Fractional Handpiece Compatibility:
For advanced skin rejuvenation, the Medlite C6 can also be equipped with a fractional handpiece. This handpiece allows for precise treatment of skin imperfections, improving skin texture and tone through controlled laser resurfacing.
Common Applications:
Tattoo Removal: Targets and breaks down tattoo ink particles for gradual fading and removal.
Pigmentation Treatment: Treats age spots, freckles, sun damage, and melasma.
Skin Rejuvenation: Stimulates collagen production for improved skin texture and tone.
Vascular Lesions: Treats superficial veins, broken capillaries, and other vascular issues.
Safety Features:
Integrated Cooling System: Helps keep the skin cool and reduces discomfort during treatments.
Preset Protocols: The Medlite C6 comes with various preset treatment protocols to guide practitioners in delivering safe and effective treatments for different conditions.
In summary, the Cynosure Medlite C6 Laser is a reliable and powerful Q-switched Nd laser system known for its efficacy in tattoo removal, pigmentation correction, and non-ablative skin rejuvenation. Its advanced technology, customizable settings, and versatile applications make it a popular choice for dermatologists and aesthetic practitioners worldwide.
The hallmark of PhotoAcoustic technology is high peak power and short pulse duration. This combination generates a PhotoAcoustic action against the target chromophore whether its 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.
