The Medlite™ is the laser of choice for advanced laser tattoo removal.
Dark Ink Tattoo Removal
Professional Tattoo. No previous treatment.
Very good results with several 1064nm treatments and 532nm treatment on red.

Massachusetts General Hospital
Treatment Specifications
Laser System: Medlite™ C3 Medlite™ C6
Wavelength: 1064 nm (infrared)
The Medlite c6 laser tattoo removal long wavelength, short pulse duration and high peak power combine to optimally destroy dark chromophores with a very low risk of permanent tissue damage. Research conducted by R. Rox Anderson, MD and Suzanne Kilmer, MD at the Massachusetts General Hospital showed the 1064 nm wavelength to be excellent in the removal of black and dark blue ink, even in darker skin. The longer 1064 nm wavelength significantly lowers the risk of hypopigmentation when compared to lasers in 600 – 800 nm range, while the short nanosecond pulse duration limits the tissue’s exposure to heat build-up, therefore reducing the risk of scarring.
Red Ink Tattoo Removal
Treatment Specifications
Laser System: Medlite™ C3 Medlite™ C6
Wavelength: 532 (green)
Red tattoo ink is very common in professional tattoos. The 532 nm wavelength is ideal for the removal of red colored ink, which is typically resistant to removal with 600 – 800 nm light. Significant red ink removal has been demonstrated with just one treatment of 532 nm.
Green & Sky Blue Tattoo Removal
Treatment Specifications
Laser System: Medlite™ C6 with MultiLite Dye Laser Handpieces
Wavelength: 585 (yellow) 650 (red)
Today many different colors are showing up in tattoos, creating quite a challenge for the physician when the tattoo is to be removed. The 585 and 650 nm wavelengths provided with the MultiLite Handpieces gives the physician more tools in his/her arsenal for treating these challenging colors. The 585 nm wavelength is used to treat sky blue inks, while the 650 nm wavelength is used to treat green inks.
