Advanced Laser Skin Rejuvenation with enLIGHTen™ III
Over time, our body and skin take a heavy toll from sun exposure, environmental factors, and aging. At IHAWMD, we are committed to helping clients achieve the best versions of themselves, through all seasons of life, with the enLIGHTen™ III Pico laser from CUTERA. This revolutionary technology, known as Pico Genesis, effectively addresses both skin pigmentation and texture concerns, allowing you to restore a more youthful, vibrant complexion.
Pico Genesis for Skin Texture Concerns
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.
Unlike toxins and fillers that can appear lumpy or unnatural and may lead to side effects like filler migration or trigger an autoimmune response, Pico Genesis works differently. It uses the power of light to help your skin regenerate from the inside out. This approach results in a natural, refined appearance without the need for invasive procedures or the risk of complications.

Pico Genesis for Skin Pigmentation Concerns
One size doesn’t fit all. Because the enLIGHTen™ III is the only pico laser that possesses both nano and pico technology, our laser practitioner is able to highly customize each clients treatment to most effectively target both large and tiny concentrations of pigment within the skin layers, simultaneously. Light pulses in nano durations are emitted to target larger pigment molecules, while pico duration light pulses are used to most efficiently clear tiny particle residues. This patented technology results in clearance of melanin in the forms of freckles, sun spots, age spots, melasma, actinic bronzing, birthmarks, and hyperpigmentation from injuries and scars in fewer sessions than any other laser. Due to this feature we are also able to clear other pigments such as tattoo ink in roughly half the sessions of any other laser in the industry.
When it comes to the removal of tattoo pigments, the enLIGHTen™ III pico laser is hands down the most ideal laser to get the job done! In addition to being able to clear larger and tinier tattoo ink molecules using the nano or pico settings, this laser also possesses three different light wavelengths perfectly calibrated to clear all colors of the rainbow! While most lasers are only capable of clearing blacks or grays, the enLIGHTen™ III uses a 1064 light wavelength to clear blacks and grays, 670 light wavelength to clear blues, greens, purples, and a 532 light wavelength to clear reds, pinks, oranges, yellows. Many of our tattoo removal clientele are women with tattooed brows, permanent make up or microblading who have gone elsewhere seeking brow tattoo removal only to be left with yellow or pink brows due to the inability of other lasers to target and clear these colors.

Achieve Long-Lasting Results
Results from Pico Genesis are often noticeable after just one session, with most clients opting for 2-3 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart for optimal outcomes. The enLIGHTen™ III Pico laser continues to work over the following weeks and months, as the body naturally clears pigments and rebuilds collagen. Your skin will appear smoother, clearer, and rejuvenated for 6 months to a year.
To maintain these impressive results, we recommend scheduling follow-up treatments twice a year—ideally in spring and fall. With regular sessions, clients can enjoy ongoing improvements in skin texture and pigmentation, ensuring long-lasting beauty and confidence.
The Treatment Process
1
Consultation
We begin with a thorough consultation to assess your skin concerns and determine if Pico Genesis is the right treatment for you. During this consultation, we will discuss your goals, evaluate your skin type, and develop a customized treatment plan.
2
Procedure
Using the enLIGHTen™ III laser system, we will deliver precise picosecond pulses to the areas of pigmentation. The laser energy targets and breaks down the pigment into tiny particles without causing significant thermal damage.
The procedure is quick and typically well-tolerated, with most sessions lasting about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.
3
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, you may experience mild redness and swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. It is important to follow our post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects.
These instructions may include avoiding direct sun exposure, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen, and applying recommended skincare products to support the healing process.
4
Results
Some improvement in skin tone may be visible after the first session, with optimal results typically appearing after completing the recommended number of treatments. As the pigmentation breaks down and is naturally eliminated by the body, you will notice a more even and radiant complexion.
The stimulation of collagen production will enhance overall skin texture and health. Regular follow-up appointments will help us monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan for the best possible outcome.
Important to Note Before Laser Treatments
For optimal results and to ensure the safety of your skin, it is important to follow these guidelines before undergoing laser treatments:
- Clients should refrain from using Accutane, Retin-A, or any retinol products at least one week prior to treatment.
- Please discontinue oral medications that cause sun sensitivity before your appointment.
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are encouraged to postpone laser treatments until after completing these stages.
