The Cutera Enlighten is a cutting-edge dual-pulse duration laser platform that sets the gold standard in professional tattoo removal and aesthetic skin treatments. Featuring both picosecond and nanosecond pulse technology, Enlighten offers unmatched versatility, precision, and speed, making it a favorite among dermatologists, med spas, and aesthetic physicians seeking superior outcomes with minimal patient downtime.
What sets the Cutera Enlighten apart is its dual pulse technology—delivering both 750 picosecond and 2 nanosecond pulses. This capability allows providers to tailor treatment based on tattoo density, ink color, and skin type. Picosecond pulses create powerful photoacoustic effects to break ink into ultra-fine particles for faster and more complete removal, while nanosecond pulses deliver higher energy for more stubborn pigment.
The Enlighten platform offers three wavelengths: 1064 nm, 532 nm, and 670 nm. These wavelengths are optimized to treat the full spectrum of tattoo ink colors:
1064 nm: Black, dark blue, brown inks and deeper dermal pigmentation
532 nm: Red, orange, and other warm tones
670 nm (available on Enlighten III): Green and blue inks—some of the most resistant to removal
This wide wavelength range also makes Enlighten suitable for benign pigmented lesions, melasma, and skin rejuvenation.
Enlighten features a variety of spot sizes up to 8 mm and adjustable fluence levels, enabling faster treatment of large areas while maintaining accuracy for smaller, intricate tattoos. This precision allows practitioners to deliver targeted energy safely across all skin types (Fitzpatrick I–VI).
With its powerful cooling system, ergonomic handpiece, and smart user interface, the Enlighten system is designed for ease of use and enhanced patient comfort. The touchscreen control panel offers intuitive access to pre-set and customizable treatment protocols, streamlining workflow in busy clinics.
