The Benefits of a MedLite? C Series EO Q-switched Laser
A MedLite? C Series laser is a safe, premium-engineered, easy-to-use aesthetic laser designed for versatility and effectiveness in a wide variety of applications. HOYA ConBioÙ has made continual improvements to the MedLite? laser since its introduction in 1992, increasing its power output, reducing its size, and introducing valuable features to maintain high levels of physician and patient satisfaction. Today, the MedLite? Series is best known for its PhotoAcoustic effect, a combination of high power and nanosecond pulse widths that deliver peak energy throughout the layers of the epidermis faster than the normal relaxation time of the tissue. The result is a safe, effective way to harness peak power.

What the MedLite? C Series Laser Can Do For Your Aesthetic Practice
A MedLite? C Series EO Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is a valuable addition to any aesthetic medical practice. With a powerful, compact and reliable medical laser, physicians can offer patients a greater range of treatments, regardless of skin type. The MedLite? can help attract new patients Û while expanding services available to existing patients. Both the C3 and C6 MedLite? lasers offer 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths. With the use of MultiLite Dye Laser Handpieces, compatible with the MedLite? C6, the Polymer Dye HP can convert the 532 nm wavelength to both 585 nm and 650 nm, for a total of four possible wavelengths across a variety of procedures.

MedLite? C Series Laser Technology
The MedLite? C Series EO Q-switched laser utilizes the latest in multi-wavelength, articulated-arm-delivered laser technology. Representing the next generation of Q-switched technology, the MedLite? uses an electro-optic (EO) high-speed shutter to produce nanosecond pulse widths. Peak energy is dispersed throughout the epidermis faster than the relaxation time of the healthy tissue. The result is a PhotoAcoustic Therapy effect, a safe, effective way to deliver energy precisely where it is needed. Contact us if you would like to learn more about the PhotoAcoustic action or any aspect of our MedLite? C Series lasers.

MultiLite Dye Laser Handpieces for Four Wavelengths
The HOYA ConBioÙ MultiLite Dye Laser Handpieces are designed for the MedLite? C6 and RevLiteÙ lasers. These dye-impregnated polymer rods convert the 532 nm wavelength to either 585 nm or 650 nm, providing a total of four wavelengths and significantly expanding treatment options for patients.

Nd:YAG Crystal
The backbone of the MedLite? laser C series is the Nd:YAG crystal, a solid-state material used for years in scientific and medical communities. The HOYA ConBioÙ MedLite? C3 and C6 lasers have the added benefit of being EO Q-switched, the next generation of Q-switching that produces high-speed repetition pulse durations.

AimLiteÙ (Aiming Beam Technology)
The AimLiteÙ system provides physicians with assistance in performing laser skin resurfacing and other procedures in discrete and/or delicate areas such as near the mouth and eyes. Specifically, the AimLiteÙ produces a red aiming beam that is co-linear with the treatment beam, enabling the physician to achieve accurate positioning of the beam for best results.

EO Q-switched
By storing energy between pulses, an EO Q-switched laser is able to deliver a more effective pulse output than traditional lasers. The EO (electro-optic) Q-switch acts as an efficient high-speed shutter, delivering nanosecond pulse durations. This technology allows the MedLite? to produce peak power of over 200 megawatts with a 5 to 20 nanosecond pulse width. The result Ò a high power laser that delivers aesthetic solutions with a PhotoAcoustic effect.

Flat-Top Beam Profile
The MedLite? C6 beam profile is a flat-top, smooth, evenly-calibrated beam without uneven spikes of energy typical in other lasers. As a result, the energy is delivered in extremely even pulse widths, targeting the chromophore with accuracy and efficiency, minimizing any damage to the epidermis.

PurpuraLiteÙ Chromophore Clearing Device
PurpuraLiteÙ, our exclusive chromophore clearing device, minimizes purpura that typically results from certain aesthetic laser treatments. Exclusive to HOYA ConBioÙ, this system temporarily ÏemptiesÓ the fine blood vessels under the treatment area to eliminate the ÏredÓ chromophore that typically creates a purpuric response. This accessory is standard with all new MedLite? C Series lasers and is an option for all MedLite? C Series lasers currently in use.
