Enlighten Pico Laser

Enlighten Pico Laser – Advanced Precision for
Pigmentation, Tattoos & Skin Rejuvenation

At Dermatology Clinics Australia, we use the Enlighten™ Pico Laser-one of the most advanced picosecond laser technologies in the world-for pigmentation correction, melasma treatment, tattoo removal and skin revitalisation. Enlighten delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that break pigment into microscopic particles while minimising thermal injury to surrounding skin.

As a cornerstone technology in our pigment and tone correction protocols, Enlighten Pico is used by Dr Shobhan Manoharan and the DCA team for patients who require precision, safety, and visible results-especially those with darker skin types or complex pigment conditions.

What Is the Enlighten Pico Laser?

The Enlighten Pico Laser is a dual-wavelength picosecond system that uses ultra-fast pulses (trillionths of a second) to shatter pigment and stimulate collagen. It combines 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths, making it ideal for both superficial and deep pigment types, as well as safe for all skin tones.

It’s also a leading choice for tattoo removal and non-ablative skin rejuvenation (“Pico toning”)-stimulating collagen while improving dullness, fine lines and pores.
