The deepest-penetrating of the three wavelengths. The 1064 nm Nd:YAG targets dark ink colors including black, dark blue, and brown. The 1064 nm wavelength has minimal absorption by epidermal melanin, making it the safest laser wavelength for darker Fitzpatrick skin types. Most professional tattoos contain significant black or dark ink load, so this wavelength does the majority of the clearance work in most sessions.
A frequency-doubled Nd:YAG wavelength specifically optimized for warm ink colors. The 532 nm wavelength targets red, orange, pink, and yellow inks that the 1064 nm cannot reach effectively. Without this wavelength, warm-color inks would persist after black ink had cleared, leaving residual color that other single-wavelength systems cannot remove.
The dedicated wavelength for resistant cool inks including sky blue, light green, teal, and pale purple. Most picosecond platforms include only 1064 nm and 532 nm, leaving these cool colors stubbornly resistant to clearance. The Cutera enlighten III's addition of 670 nm is what makes complete clearance of multi-color professional tattoos possible without leaving residual cool tones.
Enlighten Tattoo Removal treats body and cosmetic tattoos across the color spectrum. Each session uses the appropriate combination of the three enlighten III wavelengths matched to your specific ink colors. Most patients complete a course in five to twelve sessions, with simpler amateur tattoos typically clearing in three to five sessions and complex multicolored or scarred tattoos requiring more. For tattoos that are likely to need more aggressive treatment, the advanced TattooLase protocol is available as an escalation option on the same platform.
Enlighten Tattoo Removal addresses amateur and professional tattoos, multi-color body art, cosmetic tattoos including eyebrow microblading and lip and eyeliner pigment, and traumatic tattoos. The 1064 nm wavelength is specifically safe for darker Fitzpatrick skin types where shorter-wavelength lasers carry pigmentary risk.
For tattoos that prove resistant to standard picosecond treatment, are heavily scarred, or where the patient wants the fastest possible clearance with the lowest scarring risk, our advanced TattooLase protocol layers fractional Erbium preconditioning and fractionated picosecond delivery on top of this Enlighten platform, supported by published peer-reviewed clinical evidence.
Enlighten Tattoo Removal stands apart from older tattoo removal because of three converging advantages: the picosecond pulse duration, the tri-wavelength coverage, and the physician-led delivery. Each by itself matters. Together they define modern best-practice picosecond tattoo clearance.
Picosecond pulses are roughly 1,000 times shorter than the nanosecond pulses of older Q-switched lasers. The shorter pulse creates a photoacoustic effect rather than a primarily photothermal one, which means ink fragments into much smaller particles with substantially less thermal damage to the surrounding skin. Smaller fragments clear faster and with less inflammation.
Most picosecond systems offer two wavelengths and leave cool-color inks behind. The Cutera enlighten III's third wavelength at 670 nm covers the resistant blues, greens, and teals that other platforms cannot clear. Complete color clearance is the difference between a tattoo that disappears and one that ghosts a faint outline forever.
Tattoo removal sessions at Princeton Aesthetics are delivered by Dr. Jetty personally, not by a technician working through a delegated protocol. Wavelength selection, fluence titration, and pass sequencing are calibrated to your specific ink colors, density, anatomic location, and skin type at every visit.
The 1064 nm wavelength carries the strongest published safety record in Fitzpatrick IV through VI skin, where shorter-wavelength tattoo lasers can cause pigmentary changes. Patients who have been told elsewhere that their skin tone makes them poor tattoo removal candidates are routinely treated successfully here.
The picosecond era of tattoo removal raised the standard. The Cutera enlighten III's third wavelength raised it again. Physician-performed delivery is what turns the technology into reliable results.
Dr. Jetty assesses the tattoo's ink colors, density, and anatomic location, then selects the appropriate combination of the three Cutera enlighten III wavelengths for that session. Most multi-color tattoos require staged treatment with different wavelength combinations across the series.
The selected wavelength is delivered in picosecond pulses across the tattoo. Patients describe the sensation as a quick warm snap. Topical anesthetic or cooling can be applied for patient comfort, depending on the size and location.
Over the four to eight weeks following each session, your immune system clears the fragmented ink particles via lymphatic drainage. This is why visible fading continues for weeks after each visit and why sessions are spaced rather than performed back to back. Adequate spacing lets the previous session's clearance complete before the next round of fragmentation.
Single and multi-color tattoos on torso, arms, legs, neck, hands, and feet.
The most common indication. Session count depends on ink density and color complexity.
Microbladed eyebrows, lip blush, permanent eyeliner, scalp micropigmentation.
Cosmetic tattoos often clear faster than body tattoos because the ink load is lighter, though care is required given the proximity to sensitive structures.
Patients with Fitzpatrick IV through VI skin.
The 1064 nm wavelength is the published standard of care in this population, where shorter-wavelength tattoo lasers can cause pigmentary changes.
Embedded particulate from injuries, partial removal from prior treatment.
The picosecond mechanism is effective on heterogeneous ink loads that older lasers struggle with.
Greens, blues, teals, and other cool tones.
The 670 nm wavelength brings these into the clearance pathway, which two-wavelength systems leave behind.
Most patients see meaningful fading within the first two to three sessions. Complete clearance typically requires five to twelve sessions for body tattoos, fewer for cosmetic tattoos. Dr. Jetty reviews progress at every visit and may recommend escalation to TattooLase if progress is slower than expected.
Amateur or professional body tattoos seeking effective clearance.
The largest group of patients. Five to twelve sessions typical.
Microbladed eyebrows, permanent lip color, eyeliner pigment, scalp micropigmentation.
Removal or lightening for redesign.
Fitzpatrick IV through VI patients.
1064 nm is the published standard of care. Patients excluded elsewhere are routinely treated here.
Every candidate is reviewed by Dr. Jetty before any session begins. For tattoos likely to need more than the standard protocol can deliver, escalation to TattooLase is discussed at consultation.
Dr. Jetty delivers every treatment personally. No technician-run sessions, no delegated protocols.
Industry-leading tri-wavelength picosecond laser with three wavelengths covering the full ink color spectrum, including the resistant cool tones (greens, sky blues, teals) that most picosecond systems cannot fully clear.
Wavelength selection, fluence, and pass count are adjusted at every visit based on how your tattoo is responding.
Including the deeper skin tones where many shorter-wavelength systems are unsafe.
If your tattoo proves resistant or you want faster clearance, escalation to our advanced TattooLase protocol is available without changing practices.
Written and verbal aftercare guidance after every session, with the clinic available for questions between visits.
Not every tattoo is a good fit for standard Enlighten. Dr. Jetty will tell you if TattooLase or another approach is more appropriate.
Session count estimates are based on your actual tattoo characteristics, not on a one-size-fits-all package.
Pay per session. Continue as long as you and Dr. Jetty agree the protocol is working.
Microbladed brows, lip blush, eyeliner, scalp pigmentation. Delicate areas treated with appropriate care.
Educational discovery session at no cost so you understand your options before committing.
