ENLIGHTEN III DIFFERENCE

That is where the new enlighten™ III laser comes in!  Enlighten™ III delivers its energy into the tattoo ink at the speed of a picosecond, or one trillionth of a second. That is 1000 times faster than the pulsations of older lasers, making it much more effective in removing the ink more completely. Instead of the energy breaking the rocks into pebbles, it pulverizes them into sand size. That is why the enlighten™ III pico laser is so effective in removing tattoos.

The other important thing to understand is that different colored inks require different wavelengths of laser energy to remove them. The enlighten™ III laser uses 3 distinct wavelengths of energy to treat tattoos of all colors. It is like having multiple, different, highly effective lasers contained in one very technically advanced machine. This allows for effective removal of nearly all tattoos.

four to six sessions (or more) may be needed depending on the depth of the tattoo, the age of the tattoo, and the diversity of ink colors.  This is half the amount of treatments needed with other laser tattoo removal devices.  You will need to wait at least 8 weeks between treatments and we do offer numbing with your treatment if required.  Please note that a tattoo must be at least four months old before we can begin laser removal.

UNDERSTANDING HOW TO REMOVE A TATTOO

It’s important to understand how lasers work to remove tattoos. Tattoo ink is designed to be permanent. The body views this ink as a foreign substance and tries to eliminate it. However, the ink is made of particles that are too big for the body to eliminate. Laser works with the body’s own natural immune system to remove tattoos by breaking those ink particles into smaller ones that the immune system can handle.

If you think of the ink particles as rocks, laser energy is delivered into those rocks in very fast pulsations, breaking the rocks into pebbles. Those smaller pebbles can then begin to be eliminated by the body. The problem is that the smaller pebbles are often not small enough to be completely removed.


Enligthen 3 Pico Genesis

WHAT IS PICO GENESIS?

PICO Genesis is the latest aesthetic treatment to improve the appearance of unwanted freckles, sun spots and age spots - gently, predictably and quickly. PICO Genesis treatments will make your skin appear lighter, brighter, and more even in a series of two to three treatments.

HOW DOES THE PICO GENESIS TREATMENT WORK?

Everyone’s skin contains a substance called melanin. It’s what gives our skin its color. When melanin occurs in high concentrations, it can result in brown spots and uneven skin tone. PICO Genesis uses laser light to selectively shatter unwanted pigmentation and remodel the upper layer of the skin to return balance + clearance + radiance to your skin.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?

A series of two to three PICO Genesis treatments are recommended to achieve an optimal outcome, and ongoing maintenance treatments are encouraged to sustain results over time. Your PICO Genesis provider will discuss a treatment plan during your consultation.

WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?

PICO Genesis treatments are ideal for the face, hands and other areas of the body with noticeable signs of sun damage and excess pigmentation.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING AN PICO GENESIS TREATMENT AND WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?

Prior to treatment, your provider will clean the area. You will feel the tip of the laser device touch your skin. As the laser energy is applied, you’ll feel a sensation that patients often compare to a electric rain senation. Most patients do not find the treatment uncomfortable, but if you do, your treatment provider may apply a topical anesthetic. Immediately after treatment, you may apply cold air or an ice pack for a shorttime. You should keep the treated area out of the sun and/or apply sunscreen for protection. Your PICO Genesis provider may recommend additional follow-up care.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS?

Most patients experience mild redness and swelling immediately following the treatment. These side effects are temporary and typically resolve in several hours. Over the course of a few days, the treated sun spots and freckles will become darker and flake off as they heal, revealing a new, even complexion.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME ASSOCIATED WITH THETREATMENT?

Although you may experience mild redness and swelling for a few hours following the treatment, you can expect toreturn to your regular activities immediately following the treatment.
