How Enlighten III Works

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?

- Brown spots
- Sun damage

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
