Advanced Laser Technology for Pigmentation, Tattoo Removal, and Skin Rejuvenation

Enlighten™ III by Cutera is one of the most advanced laser systems available for treating pigmentation, sun damage, and tattoo removal. Using cutting-edge picosecond and nanosecond laser technology, Enlighten III safely and effectively targets unwanted pigment in the skin while promoting overall skin rejuvenation.

This versatile laser platform is designed to treat a wide range of concerns including melasma, age spots, sun spots, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and tattoos, with minimal downtime.


How Enlighten III Works

Enlighten III delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy that break down pigment particles within the skin. These fragments are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system.

Unlike older lasers, the picosecond technology works faster and more precisely, allowing for:

  • More efficient pigment removal
  • Fewer treatment sessions
  • Reduced heat damage to surrounding tissue
  • Faster recovery time

The laser can also stimulate collagen production, improving overall skin texture and tone.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin and determine the best treatment plan.

During the procedure:

  1. The treatment area is cleansed.
  2. Protective eyewear is provided.
  3. The laser delivers rapid pulses of energy to the targeted area.
  4. Treatment typically takes 10–30 minutes depending on the area.

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a light snap on the skin.


Recovery and Downtime

Recovery is typically minimal. Depending on the treatment, you may experience:

  • Mild redness
  • Slight swelling
  • Temporary darkening of pigmented spots before they fade

Most patients can return to normal activities the same day.

Sun protection is important following treatment to protect the skin and maintain results.

The number of treatments varies depending on the concern being treated.

Typical treatment plans may include:

  • Pigmentation: 2–4 treatments
  • Tattoo removal: multiple sessions depending on tattoo size, color, and depth

Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

enlighten™ was the first picosecond + nanosecond laser system to feature multiple wavelengths and industry leading specifications for the removal of tattoos and benign pigmented lesions, and the treatment of skin revitalization.

enlighten III combines multiple wavelengths (1064 nm, 532 nm and 670 nm) and picosecond + nanosecond pulse durations (750/660 ps + 2 ns) in a single platform for the treatment of unwanted multicolor tattoos, epidermal and dermal pigment, and skin revitalization across all skin types.

Unlike conventional laser toning that require up to 15 treatment sessions and often lead to unpredictable results, PICO Genesis harnesses the power and flexibility in a dual delivery procedure to selectively shatter pigment and induce dermal disruption and remodeling for true skin revitalization in fewer than 3 sessions.

What is Pico Genesis

PICO Genesis laser procedure takes an entirely new approach to the treatment of pigmentation issues and skin revitalization. This method combines the benefits of two highly effective wavelengths in ultra-short pulses to cause an intense, non-thermal, photo mechanical disruption and remodeling of the upper dermis.

What does this mean for you? A brighter, more uniform complexion in less treatment sessions than traditional methods.

Originally developed for tattoo removal, picosecond lasers are now being used for a variety of conditions, including skin toning, reducing hyperpigmentation, and building collagen. With virtually no downtime.

What Is Pico Genesis Used to Treat?

Recommend for all skin types, the PICO Genesis laser procedure is used to treat:

  • Brown spots
  • Sun damage
  • Age spots
  • Melasma
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Pigmented lesions

How Does PICO Genesis work?

The PICO Genesis laser procedure uses a non-thermal laser that doesn’t cause damage to the surrounding tissue. It destroys the pigment, leaving your skin clearer and giving you a more even, uniform complexion.

Benefits of Pico Genesis

When looking for a treatment to improve your skin’s appearance, it is important to do your research and consider all your options. Face-lifts and other minimally invasive procedures can cause significant downtime and come with many risks and side-effects.

Recovery, or downtime, has been a concern with high-intensity laser treatments. Although they can work wonders, the potential for side effects and adverse events often deters patients from opting for laser treatments.

Until now. With PICO Genesis, there is virtually no downtime. In addition, with some high-intensity laser treatments as many as 10 to 15 sessions are required to see results. With PICO Genesis, you will see results in much fewer sessions.

Your first step to a younger, more youthful appearance, or to fine-tuning trouble spots, might just be a PICO Genesis™ laser procedure. Benefits of PICO Genesis procedure include:

  • Ultra-short laser pulses that leave skin looking radiant without redness or swelling
  • Dramatic results with minimal downtime and fewer treatment sessions
  • Ability to be used on the face and body to correct skin irregularities
  • Short sessions that last 20 minutes from beginning to end
