This article was originally published in Clinica
Executive Summary
Dental and aesthetic medical laser specialist Hoya ConBio has signed an exclusive three-year distribution agreement with Eclipse Medical for its MedLite C series and RevLite lasers. Eclipse will distribute the lasers in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Hoya (Freemont, California) claims that the MedLite C series and RevLite lasers, which use Q-switched Nd:YAG laser engineering, represent the next generation of laser engineering. This is because they treat patients via the delivery of energy with a "PhotoAcoustic" effect, as opposed to photothermal energy, which other devices use. These lasers are already used widely for tattoo removal, but also have potential uses for wrinkle reduction, acne scars, vascular and pigmented lesions and hair removal.
