Candela inks deal with tattoo co.

Candela Corp. has a new tattoo removal device on the drawing board.

The Wayland company that makes laser systems for beauty treatments said today it has reached an exclusive agreement with Freedom-2, an ink supplier to the tattoo trade, to develop a new light-based device specifically designed to eradicate tattoos applied with Freedom-2 ink.

According to Candela, Freedom-2 ink technology is the first and only patented tattoo ink that is made with safe, future removal in mind; unlike many tattoo inks, Freedom-2 ink is made with biodegradable dyes.

Candela also said it has made a financial investment in Freedom-2 of Pennsylvania to further develop and market safe, removable tattoo inks.
