Pico Laser in Bangkok — Cutera Enlighten®
Pico Enlighten® is a picosecond laser system from Cutera, USA. Its 750-picosecond pulses deliver targeted photoacoustic energy that breaks pigment into smaller particles while helping to limit heat exposure to surrounding tissue. It may be used for selected concerns such as freckles, sun spots, acne scars, and tattoos after assessment by a dermatologist.
