PhotoAcoustic
Technology
Flat-Top Beam Profile
The hallmark of PhotoAcoustic
PhotoAcoustic technology is
technology is high peak power
delivered through MedLite C6’s
and short pulse duration. This
homogenous, flat-top beam
combination generates a
profile, without spikes or hot spots.
photomechanical or PhotoAcoustic
As a result, energy is distributed
action against the target
evenly from the perimeter to the
chromophore – whether it’s tattoo

ink, pigment or collagen. The

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.
Proven Reliablility
Built on ConBio’s original Q-switched
technology, MedLite C6 is best known as the
industry’s gold standard laser for multi-colored
tattoo removal. It also provides a wide range
of effective treatment applications, regardless
of patient skin type.
Anti-Aging Maintenance
PhotoAcoustic technology vibrates the collagen fibers and
stimulates collagen remodeling for overall improvement in
the skin’s appearance, texture and tone.
Epidermal and Dermal Pigmented Lesions
MedLite C6 is ideal for treating a wide variety of pigmented
lesions including melasma3, age spots, solar lentiginies,
café-au-lait lesions and dermal melanocytosis, including
Nevus of Ota and Hori’s Nevus.
Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing
