Skin Texture Improvement
The enLIGHTen™ III pico laser uses a patented Micro Lens Array (MLA) through which bursts of light are dispersed most evenly and in the tiniest fragments. This process breaks up old, unhealthy collagen layers from injuries, hormones, or simply years in the sun, and the body’s immune system whisks these cells away. In their place, new, healthy networks of collagen are created, resulting in softer, smoother skin that has a more youthful glow - we call this the Pico Genesis or “ PG Glow”. Fine lines, wrinkles, pitted or raised scars, and even enlarged pores gradually resolve in the weeks following an enLIGHTen™ III Pico Genesis treatment.
Pigmentation Correction
The enLIGHTen™ III is the only pico laser with both nano and pico technology, allowing highly customized treatments for effective pigment targeting. Nano pulses tackle larger pigment molecules, while pico pulses clear smaller residues. This technology efficiently addresses freckles, sun spots, melasma, birthmarks, hyperpigmentation, and more in fewer sessions than other lasers. Additionally, it clears tattoo ink in nearly half the time compared to other lasers.
For tattoo removal, the enLIGHTen™ III excels by using three wavelengths to target all ink colors: 1064 for blacks and grays, 670 for blues and greens, and 532 for reds, pinks, and yellows. This makes it ideal for removing stubborn pigments, including those from permanent makeup or microblading.

Acne Scar Treatment
Acne can leave skin pitted with uneven skin texture and permanently reddened or darkened scars. The enLIGHTen™ III showers these affected areas of skin with the perfect light wavelengths necessary to break upold, hardened, pitted scar tissue and stimulates the production of new healthier collagen networks. The new collagen plumps up the previously sunken scar tissue areas resulting in softer, smoother textured skin. Different light wavelengths are used to target and clear red or dark colored pigment in the skin left behind from acne.
Addresses
- Pitting
- Sunken or raised scar tissue
- Red or dark skin tones left behind from acne
Pico Genesis Skin Rejuvenation
The hands of time paired with years of UV sun exposure can wreak havoc on our skin. The cumulative affects may not begin to show until your 40’s. Pregnancy and hormonal changes can also leave women with unpleasing skin mottling and discoloration. Injuries to the skin and surgical wounds can leave unsightly marks on us as well.
The enLIGHTen™ III pico laser ‘s patented Micro Lens Array (MLA) is powerful and ideal in breaking up unhealthy scar tissue which the body’s immune system whisks away while other cells work to replace the treated area with new, healthy collagen layers. This results in softer, smoother skin.
The enLIGHTen™ III pico laser’s patented Micro Lens Array (MLA) breaks down unhealthy scar tissue, allowing the body to replace it with healthy collagen for smoother skin. Unlike treatments like chemical peels or microneedling that only affect the outer skin layer, the enLIGHTen™ III targets unwanted melanin and penetrates both the epidermis and dermis, reaching the cells responsible for pigment and collagen production.

Body Tattoo Removal
The enLIGHTen™ III laser system offers advanced technology for tattoo removal, utilizing both picosecond and nanosecond pulses along with three light wavelengths to effectively clear tattoos of all colors. This powerful combination enables us to remove unwanted tattoos in roughly half the sessions required by other laser systems.
Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, such as the Q-Switch, the enLIGHTen™ III uses a process known as "photo acoustic" technology, which employs the sound of light to break apart tattoo pigments. This technique is much safer and minimizes the risk of surrounding tissue damage, reducing the likelihood of "ghost tattoo scarring" or "tissue splatter"—a common side effect when improper techniques or excessive heat are used during removal.
With this advanced approach, we can safely and efficiently remove tattoos with minimal discomfort and downtime, providing better results in fewer sessions.
Addresses
- Unwanted tattoos of any size
- Tattoos of all colors
- Tattoos located anywhere on the body
