Enlighten is a picosecond laser system that includes the signature procedures known as Pico Genesis and the newly launched Pico Genesis FX. They’re both FDA-cleared for tattoo removal as well as the treatment of benign brown spots and acne scars.

This Picosecond laser from Cutera face and body solutions offer versatile picosecond technology. In today’s aesthetic arena, tattoo and pigmentation removal are vital parts of a successful aesthetic practice. There are also a growing number of people that are experiencing regret in the appearance of a new or old tattoo. The market sector is expected to further grow by nearly 15% in the next 5 years.

The Cutera Enlighten is one of the industries leading an aesthetic laser system to offer treatments for both tattoo and pigmentation as well as other aesthetic procedures. It features both nanosecond and picosecond pulses for the ideal blend of parameters, offering a broad range of treatments and applications.

The Cutera enlighten also has a range of wavelengths, spot size, and energy settings to correctly delivery the right amount and type of energy to the unwanted pigmentation or ink.

How does Enlighten by Cutera work?

Enlighten works by directing a beam of light on the area in extremely short pulse durations. It employs both picosecond and nanosecond technology (2 nanoseconds and 750/660 picoseconds) to efficiently target different colors and types of ink using three laser wavelengths. The high-peak-power and ultra-short pulse duration break up the tattoo pigments without causing damage to the skin around it.

The Enlighten works by firing a beam of light through the skin in extremely short pulses. The light is absorbed by the tattoo ink creating a reaction that breaks the ink down into very tiny particles. The particles are removed over time by macrophages who carry off these fragments of ink.

The Enlighten uses both picosecond and nanosecond technology to break up different types and colors of ink. Because each pulse is so short (typically 25 billionths of a second) and is targeted directly onto the pigment, there is normally no lasting damage to the skin or surrounding tissue. The whole procedure is repeated several times, usually at four to six weekly intervals, so allowing time for the body to remove as much pigment as possible.

Powerfully Versatile Pico Technology

Tattoo and pigment removal is an essential part of every aesthetic practice. With a growing number of individuals experiencing tattoo regret, the market is expected to hit a year over year growth of 12.7% through 2023.¹ Also, 40% of the population susceptible to pigmentary concerns and 71% of consumers are seeking tone and texture improvement.²

The enlighten system is an industry-leading platform for tattoo removal and benign pigmented lesions. It is the first system on the market to feature both nanosecond and picosecond pulse durations and the ideal blend of parameters – the correct wavelengths, the correct spot sizes, and the correct energy levels – to effectively address unwanted pigment and ink.
