Pico Tattoo Removal

This image to the left perfectly sums up how Pico lasers differentiate from Q-switch machines when it comes to tattoo removal. The Enlighten by Cutera is taking the world by storm in the advancement of laser technology and we have it here now in our beautiful Northern Rivers hub of Lismore.

The Enlighten laser uses non-thermal, photo-acoustic wavelengths to break up ink particles to be engulfed by the body’s immune system and excreted via our lymphatic pathway. Using no thermal, photoacoustic technology allows the ink particles to be broken down into smaller particles compared to traditional lasers like Q-switch. This reduces the treatment required and also makes the treatment a little more comfortable.
