Pigmented lesions can be successfully lightened or removed with modern laser technology.

At Lasers in Medicine, we utilise the most technically advanced Picosecond laser in Adelaide. The Cutera Enlighten III consists of three different wavelengths (532nm, 670nm, & 1064nm) to target pigment. With the three wavelengths, the Enlighten III is safe for all skin types to target pigment, tattoos, scars and facial rejuvenation.

How does it work?

A laser removes pigmented lesions with the energy of light. A laser is designed to produce one or more specific light wavelengths which are absorbed by the pigment. Pigmented lesions are either lightened or removed when the laser light passes through the skin but is absorbed by abnormal concentrations of melanin. The rapid absorption of light energy causes the melanin to destruct to a point where the melanin concentration is reduced, leaving the treated skin looking uniform in colour and texture.
