While you will not experience any real “downtime” following your enlighten® treatment, you may experience some swelling and discomfort in the hours and days after the treatment. This treatment results in dermal inflammation that initiates a healing response associated with increased collagen and elastin formation.
What Results Can I Expect From enlighten® by CUTERA®?
Some tattoo removal lasers require up to 15 treatment sessions to achieve the removal of the ink, and often, results are unpredictable. With enlighten®, you can enjoy your tattoo-free skin sooner with fewer sessions.
