How Effective is Cutera Enlighten III Tattoo Removal?

Several of us have one, and some of us ever regret getting the ink: once deemed attractive, the tattoo inked into our skin may not be something we want to have there anymore.

Historically, tattoos were unanimously accepted to become permanently part of our skin. But with the advanced Cutera Enlighten III laser, our tattoo removal clients can now easily and effectively remove their tattoos if they have a change of heart regarding their ink.

The laser tattoo removal system Cutera Enlighten III is well-known for its efficiency and cutting-edge technology. It targets and breaks down tattoo ink particles in the skin with laser pulses of both nanosecond and picosecond duration safely and effectively.

Using 3 different wavelengths combined with picosecond technology, the Cutera Enlighten III is able to treat all colours of tattoos. Through its combination of wavelengths and picosecond technology, the Cutera Enlighten III provides patients with a fast and efficient tattoo removal experience.

The size, colour, composition, depth and type of the tattoo, as well as the individual’s skin type and response to the laser tattoo removal treatments, are all important factors that can impact how successful Cutera Enlighten III is in removing an unwanted tattoo.

It has been widely reported that the Cutera Enlighten III laser is generally quite effective at getting rid of tattoos of all pigments and sizes.

The blend of nanosecond and picosecond laser allows the Cutera Enlighten III Laser to successfully focus on an extensive variety of tattoo ink tones, including challenging to-eliminate colours like different hues of blues and greens.

It is critical to understand the mechanism of action behind how lasers function to remove unwanted tattoos before determining why certain lasers are better than others at removing unwanted tattoo ink. Tattoo ink has an important property of permanence.

With the Cutera Enlighten III laser, ink particles can be broken up into smaller pieces by shorter picosecond pulses, which ultimately makes it much easier for the body’s immune system to process and get rid of these particles.

In terms of treatment time, an average tattoo laser removal treatment takes only a few minutes for a three-inch tattoo; the treatment is best described as hot, fast drops splattering as the laser pulse targets your tattoo ink.

What can I expect during a Cutera enlighten® III laser treatment?

Before we start your laser treatment, we apply a numbing cream on the treatment area. The laser process involves passing a handpiece over the tattoo or affected skin area. We stop and pulse the laser in small increments, until the entire treatment area has had an opportunity to absorb the laser light.
