Laser Tattoo Removal

TATTOO REMOVAL • PIGMENTED LESIONS • SKIN REVITALIZATION AND RESURFACING
Cutera’s Enlighten III® has emerged featuring three wavelengths and two pulse durations to effectively remove all ink colours, variable ink particle sizes and densities in fewer treatments.
This tattoo removal technology delivers laser energy to the tattoo using ultra-short nanosecond and picosecond pulses.
The tattoo removal process involves pluses delivering a mechanical effect to shatter the ink particles into small pieces which are eliminated through the lymphatic system.
Powerful advanced laser tattoo removal technology has made it possible for providers to remove unwanted tattoos more efficiently and effectively than traditional tattoo removal methods.
