Cutera Enlighten III Pico Laser

The Cutera Enlighten III Pico Laser is a professional, non-invasive, multi-wavelength device that can be used to support the management of a range of cosmetic skin concerns.

What concerns may Pico Laser address?

Enlighten III may be considered for:

  • Pigmentation such as melasma, solar lentigines (sunspots, age spots) or uneven tone
  • Skin rejuvenation to support improvements in overall tone, texture and laxity
  • Tattoo reduction for various colours of ink
  • Signs of ageing such as fine lines, crepiness
  • Acne scarring, including in darker skin types

How does it work?

The Enlighten III uses ultra-short picosecond and nanosecond pulses at three different wavelengths (1064 nm, 532 nm, and 670 nm). This advanced laser technology delivers acoustic (non-thermal) energy to the skin, which may reduce the likelihood of heat-related side effects such as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

The laser energy works by breaking down targeted pigment or ink particles into smaller fragments, which are then gradually cleared away by the body’s natural lymphatic and elimination processes.

What can I expect during and after treatment?

  • Treatments are generally well tolerated and may cause minimal downtime.
  • A series of sessions is usually required for optimal results, depending on the concern being treated, skin type, and individual response.
  • Your clinician will recommend a tailored treatment plan during consultation.

Is it suitable for everyone?

Enlighten III Pico Laser can be used on a wide range of skin types, but suitability must always be assessed by a qualified practitioner before treatment.
