MedLite C6

Trusted for Professional Tattoo Removal

At the Key Laser Institute for Aesthetic Medicine®, we are well-known for helping men and women remove a tattoo that seemed like such a good idea at the time but now...not so much. The MedLite C6 laser is an excellent choice for tattoo removal because its unique combination of short wavelength light and rapid, high intensity pulses maximizes the destruction of skin pigmentation and tattoo inks.

A central concern of many people considering tattoo removal is scarring. After all, you want to wave goodbye to that unwelcome reminder of days gone by, but you don't want a painful scar to take its place. MedLite C6 preserves surrounding skin and minimizes scarring by focusing its light energy only on the ink of the tattoo, causing it to break up and be naturally removed by your body's cleansing process.

Tattoos use a wide variety of ink colors, and MedLite C6 is able to remove practically all shades of ink, with the exception of certain shades of green and yellow, which are difficult or impossible to remove with any current laser technology. Repeat treatments over a period of several weeks are usually required to achieve the best results. Patients on average see a 90 to 95% reduction in the appearance of their tattoo.

Treating Melasma and Pigmented Lesions

Freckles and age spots are common signs of age, and can be particularly bothersome when they emerge on the hands, face or neck. The appearance of these pigmented lesions can be dramatically reduced or even erased using the MedLite C6. This laser is particularly well suited to address melasma, a condition that causes brown spots and patches on the face. Light transmitted by the MedLite C6 is absorbed by the areas of pigment in your skin, destroying this pigment and lightening your skin as a result. Only pigmented areas are lightened so that you skin achieves a very uniform complexion. In many cases, only 1 or 2 treatments are required for optimal improvement.

And Improve the Look of Your Skin Too!

This laser is also used for general skin rejuvenation. It can be used successfully on its own or in combination with a variety of other skin rejuvenation treatments such as Photodynamic Therapy, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or Fraxel®. Your skin health professional can provide you with a recommendation about whether MedLite C6 is the best choice for you.
