Tattoo Removal
Description
The Cutera Enlighten ||| is a cutting-edge system that integrates nano and picosecond pulses, enhancing our ability to target pigment ink embedded deep beneath the skin. The laser beam fragments the ink into smaller particles, enabling the patient's inflammatory and lymphatic systems to naturally eliminate them.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
- Small Area
- Medium Area
- Large Area
- Cosmetic Tattoo Removal
What It Treats
The Enlighten Laser is a new, cutting edge laser technology for pigmentation and tattoo removal. This advanced laser is the first on the market to include both longer (nanosecond) and shorter (picosecond) pulse durations, making it an effective and efficient option for addressing unwanted pigment and ink.
How It Works
Generating heat 1000x faster than previous nanotechnology lasers, Enlighten Laser is able to separate pigment and tattoo ink into much smaller particles than previous technologies, reducing thermal collateral damage to surrounding tissues. The increased speed at which laser energy is delivered causes rapid thermal expansion that shatters pigment into minuscule particles which are then absorbed and excreted from the body more quickly. Enlighten Laser decreases the number of treatments, length of treatments, and risk of scarring due to length of emitted wavelengths and the speed at which they are emitted. Enlighten laser also features three fully-integrated laser wavelengths: 532 nm, 670 nm, and 1064 nm. Pigment and tattoos, which are comprised of multiple colours, require multiple wavelengths for effective removal, are able to be targeted more effectively with this multi-wavelength solution.
Pre Treatment
No preparation is needed for this treatment. Just arrive with clean skin.
Post Treatment
Immediately after treatment, there may be "frosting" on the area that is treated. Redness and swelling is typical. Pinpoint bleeding may also occur.
FAQ
What are the benefits of the Enlighten Laser?
As a result of the advanced technology used by Enlighten, pigment and tattoos can be removed in less time, with less pain. This treatment also requires less treatments in order to achieve the desired result, and is able to do so with less risk of scarring as a result of the speed at which the laser emits wavelengths.
