Power through unwanted tattoos with Enlighten – offering better clearance, fewer treatments and less complications than ever before.
With Enlighten, the answer for tattoo removal is clear. Enlighten, developed and manufactured by Cutera, is the world’s first and only dual wavelength (1064nm and 532nm) and dual pulse duration (750ps and 2ns) laser system, featuring class-leading treatment parameters and customisation.
It is effective for use on all skin types, and for an array of skin concerns including benign pigmented lesions.
Dr Jill Lezaic is a laser specialist who runs four laser practices in Florida, USA. She is a luminary in laser technology and has performed more than 10,000 tattoo removal procedures, and averages over 200 tattoo removals a month. Dr Lezaic is an avid supporter of Cutera’s Enlighten system, describing the device as a game changer in laser technology.
“Every so often something comes along in the aesthetic market that really changes the way we do things going forward,” says Dr Lezaic.
“I would definitely regard the Enlighten laser as a game changer.”
And Dr Lezaic predicts there will be more to come from picosecond technology: “With picosecond technology we have just skimmed the tip of the iceberg. I think we’re yet to reveal what can truly be achieved with this technology.”
The perfect match: picosecond and Q-switched technology
In the past, removal of tattoos has presented a formidable challenge; for effective treatments, multiple wavelengths delivered at high power, and the ability to target and treat at depth are critical.
Enlighten is the only system in its class to feature up to 3X greater energy with 1064nm (600mJ) and up to 1.5X greater energy with 532nm (300mJ). High power, with two wavelengths, dual pulse durations, and the broadest range of fluence and spot-size selection, results in the most advanced picosecond platform optimised for depth, speed, power, and safety.
Enlighten features both longer (2ns) and shorter (750ps) pulse durations, enabling effective treatment of tattoo removal and benign epidermal and dermal lesions with therapeutic fluence delivery at every spot size.
Enlighten combines the benefits of picosecond and Q-switched technology to deliver unprecedented clearance of tattoo ink. “Enlighten can stand on its own,” says Dr Lezaic. “I was previously using two different lasers in two different rooms – a Q-switched and another picosecond device to achieve this perfect marriage of a longer pulse duration with an ultra short pulse. With Enlighten, Cutera has created exactly what I was looking for.”
“After just one treatment with Enlighten I noticed an unparalleled clearance of ink – this is something not possible with a Q-switched laser and I had not seen with the picosecond laser I already owned. The power of this device really amazes me,” says Dr Lezaic.
Optimised for efficient and nimble use, the modern features include instant and independent adjustment of spot-size, fluence, wavelength, pulse duration and repetition rate. Enlighten also features a smart 12.1” touchscreen that’s simple to navigate, as well as a quick 2-minute start-up time with real-time parameter calibration, enabling quick patient treatments.
“With Enlighten, I can press a button and go back and forth from 1054nm to 532nm to target certain colours and instantaneously change nanoseconds and spot sizes,” explains Dr Lezaic. “Enlighten offers fast start-up time and real-time calibration with zero wait time. The engineering behind this product is impressive to say the least.”
How can Enlighten benefit your practice?
Dr Lezaic currently has purchased three Enlighten devices for her practices in the US and is extremely impressed by how successful they have been, both in the clearance of tattoo ink of all colours and the significantly fewer amount of treatments required. “There is a
huge rise in tattoo removal and we are achieving unsurpassed results with Enlighten.”
“What I look for in a device is something that is the most applicable to most skin types with the best results and the least complications and the most ease of use,” says Dr Lezaic. “For me, that device is Enlighten.”
“In my clinical opinion, this device can deliver a faster result, meaning a lighter tattoo in fewer treatments, with no increased risk of hypopigmentation, than my other picosecond technology. On average, with Enlighten, a tattoo can be removed within 4-6 sessions.”
Enlighten offers impressive results, low consumables and a modern design for today’s aesthetic practices. “Simply put, my Enlighten machine by far surpasses my other tattoo removal technologies,” says Dr Lezaic. “With Enlighten, I can make a tattoo lighten significantly in a single treatment. In my experience, Enlighten has truly revolutionised tattoo removal.”
