Conveniently located to serve Tallahassee, Flordia
Tallahassee Plastic Surgery Clinic is proud to offer the Cutera Enlighten laser to North Florida and South Georgia. As a Cutera Center of Excellence, we effectively remove tattoos, brown spots, and other pigmentation issues with little to no discomfort. Patients are treated with the Cutera Enlighten laser in Tallahassee under the supervision of our three board-certified plastic surgeons.
What Can Be Treated?
Thanks to the rising number of people feeling ink regret, laser tattoo removal is becoming more popular every day. Additionally, 40 percent of the population who are vulnerable to pigmentation problems are looking to treat these issues.
The Cutera Enlighten laser can safely treat:
- New, old, or faded tattoos
- Undesired parts of an existing tattoo
- Previously treated tattoos by other laser systems (This reveals how much more advanced our laser system really is.)
- Benign brown spots
- Age spots
- Sun damage
- Melasma of the face, body, and hands
How Does It Work?
The Cutera Enlighten laser combines nanosecond and picosecond pulses with adjustable wavelengths (532, 670, and 1064 nm) to efficiently break down tattoo ink and hyperpigmentation. Its ultra-fast pulses create a photoacoustic effect, shattering ink into tiny fragments cleared by the immune system and significantly reducing treatment time. With picosecond technology operating at a trillionth of a second, the laser minimizes heat damage, lowering scarring risk and discomfort.
Is Cutera Enlighten Right For Me?
If you have an unwanted tattoo, pigmentation issues, or age-related spots, Cutera Enlighten may be the ideal solution. This laser technology is effective across all skin types and tones, providing tailored treatment for a variety of pigmentation concerns. Patients who are pregnant or with certain skin conditions will not be candidates.
Your Cutera Enlighten Laser Consultation
At Tallahassee Plastic Surgery Clinic, your consultation is guided by our expert team, which includes three board-certified plastic surgeons and three certified physician assistants. During your visit, our specialists will assess your needs, explain the procedure in detail, and personalize your treatment plan to ensure the safest and most effective results.
What Happens During the Procedure?
The Cutera Enlighten laser device will be applied to each targeted area, delivering rapid energy pulses to break down ink particles or pigmentation. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap, but numbing injections are available to minimize discomfort. Treatment times vary based on the size and complexity of the tattoos or blemishes, typically lasting between 15 and 45 minutes per session.
After Your Appointment
Following your laser session, you may experience mild redness and swelling in the treated area, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically subside after a few days of recovery. Patients are advised to keep the area clean, avoid direct sun exposure, and follow post-treatment care instructions provided by our team.
How Long Will It Take to See Results?
Brown spots can often be removed in one treatment. However, some patients may need 2-3 sessions.
Tattoo removal depends on several factors, but we can usually remove tattoos faster and with less treatment than other laser systems because of the advanced nano and picosecond technology. Four treatments are a goal, but some patients need more or fewer appointments depending on their tattoo specifics.
