What’s the solution for effective, efficient laser tattoo removal with better clearance?

Brandon Dermatology uses the most advanced laser technology available for effective fast laser tattoo removal it is called enlighten® by cutera. enlighten® was invented as the first all-in-one laser system with a powerful punch of nano and the stealth power of picosecond, making the enlighten® laser the most complete solution for tattoo removal. As a result, fewer tattoo removal treatments are needed, as it is effective on all size ink particles, regardless of the age of the tattoo, depth, and color of the tattoo or skin.

• Fewer Treatments
  Significantly fewer treatments with the ability to treat old or new tattoos.
• Better Clearance
  Matching pulse duration to ink particle size = more complete and faster clearance is achieved.
• Pico + Nano Technology
  The use of both technologies in one laser is a revolution in laser tattoo removal.
• All Skin Types
  High-peak power and ultra-short pulse durations target the ink without thermal skin effects.

Pico and Nano Laser Technology for Tattoo Removal

Leveraging PICO + NANO Pulses with enlighten
Matching pulse duration to ink particle size = more complete and faster clearance is achieved.

If you’ve already treated ink, it just won’t shrink.

Enlighten® can effectively treat these stubborn already treated tattoos by targeting the remaining ink particles. When other lasers have failed enlighten® has the advantage due to its unique combination of nanosecond and picosecond laser frequency technology.

Tattoo Removal A Dermatology Challenge

The tattoo industry has many enthusiasts, professional and amateur, with wild imaginations using so many different techniques and various depths of application. Also, the age of the tattoo influences how the tattoo responds to treatment. This has historically made it very hard to predict the tattoo’s response to a laser and it’s harder to remove.

Unfortunately, tattoos aren’t all the same or just a fly-by-night dermatology challenge. Tattoos have become more and more popular; Now 1 in 4 people have a tattoo with 5 out of 6 people having a tattoo that they regret or no longer want on their body.

The Beginning Nano vs. Pico

Nanosecond laser technology was invented in the 1980s. It was the first technology nondestructive to the skin surface for tattoo removal treatment. Nanosecond laser technology was the only technology powerful enough to attack a tattoo at his core, the color under the skin. However, the long arduous battle between Nanosecond laser technology and Tattoo ink was still unpredictable, in some cases, Nanosecond laser technology could knock out a Tattoo in five hits with its powerful long pulsed Nanosecond laser. But many times, even after 12 or more hits, a tattoo still refused to clear.

Why couldn’t a Nanosecond Laser destroy a tattoo, you ask?

Unknown to many, Tattoos have a few hidden tricks up their sleeves. While on the surface a tattoo may look simple and un-threatening, down deep, a tattoo often hides it’s his true staying powers. Through intensive study, dermatologists have learned that density could make it difficult for nanosecond lasers to break apart the ink.

Also, tattoo ink also can vary in depth beneath the skin surface, in some cases so deep that the Nanosecond technology could not reach the tattoo particles.  Since nanosecond laser technology couldn’t beat tattoos alone dermatologists were seeking a better solution for effective, efficient laser tattoo removal that is where picosecond technology came in.

Pico Was Engineered to Have More Fire Power

Pico was engineered to have more firepower, than its super short nano-second laser energy. Picosecond laser tattoo removal was in fact very powerful and extremely effective in eliminating tattoos as they age, but eliminating younger tattoos was more challenging.

The solution for effective, efficient, and better laser tattoo removal with better clearance?

Enlighten® delivers powerful, meaningful results more efficiently and more completely that any other laser tattoo removal system. Nanosecond technology attacks the tattoo first to break it apart, weakening its core bond, then Picosecond waves are delivered for the final punches to wipe or clear the tattoo. This is why, Enlighten®, was invented. Enlighten® is the first all-in-one laser system with a powerful punch of Nanoseconds and the stealth power of Pico second laser, making this laser the most complete solution for tattoo removal.
