How Does the enlighten™ III Skin Toning Laser Treatment Work?
When the the enlighten™ III skin toning device is gently swept over your skin’s surface, the unique multiple wavelengths of 1064 nm, 532mn, and 670mn are delivered in ultra-short pulses under your skin, causing an intense photomechanical disruption that shatters the pigmentation, helping to induce the remodeling of your skin that leads to a brighter, more uniform complexion.
