Powerfully Versatile PICO Technology
PICO Revolutionized
Removing the full range of tattoos, pigment, and other aesthetic concerns requires the ideal combination of technologies—the right wavelengths, the right pulse durations, and the right energy levels.
enlighten III features three fully-integrated wavelengths, including the first truered picosecond wavelength, and industry-leading specifications that address:
• Multicolor tattoos & benign pigmented lesions
• Epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions
• PICO GenesisTM for skin revitalization on all skin types
• PICO GenesisTM FX for acne scars and skin quality concerns*

Unrivaled Technology. Proven Outcomes.
Selectively Chosen Wavelengths
enlighten III’s wavelengths provides high absorption rates to treat the most common ink colors: black, red, blue, and green. The 532, 1064, and 670 nm wavelengths were chosen for their effectiveness in targeting a broad spectrum of colors and various skin types.
Optimized Pulse Durations
NANO: Large particles respond better to longer pulse durations1 PICO: As particles become smaller, shorter pulse durations are more effective1
Matching pulse duration to particle size helps you achieve faster, more complete clearance in fewer treatment sessions. enlighten III’s dual pulse durations - 2 ns and 750/660 ps – treat varying densities and particles sizes more efficiently than single-pulse duration systems.
Strong, Powerful Delivery
enlighten III delivers a strong, non-thermal photomechanical effect by combining high peak power and ultra-short pulse durations to shatter the target at varying depths without causing damage to the surrounding tissue.
Customized Delivery. Beautiful Skin.
Low Risk, High Reward Pigment Removal
Address benign pigmented lesions on all skin types with confidence and ease. From low-contrast lesions to denser lesions on darker skin types, enlighten III’s range of specifications provides the parameters needed to effectively remove pigmented lesions with a higher safety margin.
Brilliant Skin with PICO Genesis
In just a few quick treatments, PICO Genesis utilizes dualdelivery treatment to shatter unwanted pigment and induce skin revitalization. Selectively shatter pigmentary issues with the 1064 nm. Deliver non-thermal, laser induced shockwaves for dermal disruption and remodelling.
Renewed Skin with PICO Genesis FX
Enhance skin revitalization with a fractional approach to treat acne scars, skin quality concerns, and aging on skin types II-V. Its innovative MicroLens Array (MLA) creates tiny, gentle microwounds in the upper layers of the epidermis and dermis while keeping surrounding tissue unharmed for quicker healing.

*The Micro Lens Array is Health Canada licensed for pigmentation and skin revitalization
Indications for Use: The 1064 nm wavelength of the enlighten III laser system is indicated for: treatment of benign pigmented lesions on patients with all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI); tattoo removal for dark colored tattoo inks and for multicolored tattoos containing dark colored tattoo inks on patients with all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI); treatment of acne scars on patients with Fitzpatrick skin types II-V when used with the Micro Lens Array handpiece attachment. The 670 nm wavelength of the enlighten III III laser system is indicated for: treatment of benign pigmented lesions on patients with Fitzpatrick skin types I-III; tattoo removal for lighter colored tattoo inks, including green and blue inks, on patients with Fitzpatrick skin types II-IV. The 532 nm wavelength of the enlighten III III laser system is indicated for: treatment of benign pigmented lesions on patients with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV; tattoo removal for lighter colored tattoo inks, including red and yellow inks, on patients with Fitzpatrick skin types I-III. Contraindications: Pregnant patients; patients undergoing treatment for skin cancer. Important Safety Information: The following treatment-related expected transient side effects and possible adverse events may occur during or following treatment with enlighten III: Discomfort; Immediate ashy change in benign pigmented lesions;Hyperpigmentation; Hypopigmentation; Petechiae; Purpura; Blisters; Edema; Erythemal Allergic reaction; Bullae; Scabs; Crusting; Texture changes; Infection; Scarring; Persistence of pigmented lesion; Incomplete tattoo removal; Paradoxical darkening or color change; Bleeding of ink into surrounding skin. Warnings: Do not treat or treat over dysplastic nevi or questionable pigmented lesions. Only benign pigmented lesions are treatable. Accurate pre-operative diagnosis is very important to prevent treatments on malignant lesions. Precautions: Current medications (both routine and occasional use); Accutane - do not treat if taken in the last 6 months; Gold Therapy - may cause blue-gray discoloration; Photosensitizing drugs (Tetracycline, etc) - perform test spots and adjust parameters accordingly; Anticoagulants - may increase risk of purpura or bruising; Bleeding disorders; Vitiligo or history of pigmentary disorders, particularly tendency for hyper- or hypopigmentation; Herpes - heat from the treatment could induce a flare-up; pretreatment with an antiviral may be indicated; Wound infections; Open lesions - treatments should only be performed on intact, healthy skin; History of coagulopathies; History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring; Diabetes - may impede wound healing; History of seizure disorders due to light.
