The Cutera Enlighten 3 uses an extremely short and high-powered laser that efficiently breaks down the ink particles in your tattoo. Those with unwanted multi-colour tattoos and people with darker skin tones prefer this process because the laser’s settings can be modified to deliver multiple types of light that different colours respond best to. The end result is a safer and easier way to get rid of tattoos on all skin tones.

The Cutera Enlighten 3 treatment is best described as a drop of hot liquid hitting you for just a moment. While there could be some discomfort, most patients find the pain level to be more than bareable.

While the number of treatments varies based on the composition, depth, and colour of your tattoo, you can expect fewer treatments with the Cutera Enlighten 3 as the multiple wavelengths are able to penetrate deeper breaking down more pigments in one pass.

In most cases, yes it will. However, there are some colours that are more difficult to remove than others. Coming for a consultation is the only way that our experts can give you guidance on the overall success of the treatment.

Successful laser tattoo removal depends on the penetration and absorption of the light, plus the duration and intensity of the laser pulse.

The laser light must be powerful enough to reach the pigment layered deep within the skin. Then, the colour of the laser light must be properly absorbed by the tattoo pigment. Different pigments require different laser colours.

The pulse of the laser must be very quick so that the tattoo pigment is heated to the necessary fragmentation temperature without damaging the surrounding skin. If the heat dissipates to the surrounding skin, scarring or burning could occur.

The Cutera Enlighten 3 is the market’s first triple wavelength and dual pulse duration laser platform. Meaning that the pulse is delivered at a much faster rate than traditional tattoo removal, with increased absorption.
