The MedLite C6 by Cynosure is an FDA-approved, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser widely recognized as a "gold standard" in dermatology.



It is primarily used for safe, non-invasive multi-colored tattoo removal, treating pigmentation issues, and skin revitalization across all skin types.
How It Works
The MedLite C6 utilizes PhotoAcoustic Technology, firing rapid, short bursts of high-intensity light (in nanoseconds).
-
Instead of relying on heat, the laser uses a specialized "flat-top" beam profile to evenly distribute energy.
-
The energy creates a shockwave that physically shatters targeted pigment molecules or tattoo ink without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
-
The shattered particles are then naturally cleared by the body's lymphatic system.
Core Applications
-
Tattoo Removal: Highly effective on a wide spectrum of ink colors (including stubborn blues, blacks, and reds).
-
Pigmentation Treatment: Clears epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions, including sun spots, age spots, freckles, melasma, and birthmarks (e.g., Nevus of Ota).
-
Skin Rejuvenation: Stimulates collagen production to reduce fine lines, shrink enlarged pores, and improve overall skin texture.
-
Acne & Scarring: Helps reduce active acne, minimize sebum production, and smooth out acne scars.
Treatment Experience
-
Downtime: It is a lunch-time procedure. Patients can immediately resume normal activities, though minor redness may occur for a few hours.
-
Comfort: Most patients report minimal pain—often described as a slight tingling sensation or the snapping of a rubber band against the skin.
-
Sessions: While some pigment reduction is visible after one session, a series of 5 to 6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal aesthetic results.
