Students often call and ask us what laser we use for laser tattoo removal training. We are proud to use Astanza Laser’s Trinity and Duality tattoo removal lasers. These systems are both q-switched systems, with the Trinity being the only Nd:YAG and Ruby tattoo removal lasers available in the United States. The Duality is a very effective Nd:YAG system with the traditional 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths needed to remove most tattoos.
The Affinity QS and Medlite C6/RevLite are less capable machines, but reasonable effective at removing tattoos. They put the same amount of energy through the handpiece, use the same wavelengths produced in the same way, and are used exclusively for tattoo removal (and a few dermatological procedures for removing other kinds of pigment in the skin). The Medlite C6 does have a more attractive beam profile (top-hat/flat-top) compared to the Affinity QS (gaussian beam profile), but is somewhat cumbersome to operate.
