SKIN HEALTH FROM THE INSIDE OUT
Our LUSTRELOOK Medical Team's Approach to Laser Skin Care
At LUSTRELOOK, our medical aesthetics team takes an individualized, clinically guided approach to skin renewal, utilizing advanced laser technology to address specific skin concerns while supporting refined aesthetic outcomes.
The CUTERA enLIGHTen III incorporates multiple wavelengths and both picosecond and nanosecond pulse durations, providing versatile treatment capabilities across a range of pigmentation, textural, and skin rejuvenation concerns.
Because pigment irregularities, textural changes, scar tissue, enlarged pores, and tattoo ink differ in their characteristics and response to laser treatment, each requires careful assessment, appropriate treatment selection, and individualized parameters.
Our approach prioritizes precision, evidence-informed treatment planning, and realistic expectations—aligning the technology and treatment strategy with each patient's skin characteristics, concerns, and aesthetic goals.
Not All Lasers Are Created Equal.
Neither Are the Practitioners Who Operate
Them.
Laser technologies are not interchangeable. Each system is engineered to interact with the skin differently, using distinct wavelengths, energy levels, pulse durations, and delivery methods to address specific aesthetic concerns. Equally important is the practitioner's knowledge, training, and experience in selecting and administering the appropriate technology for each patient.
Different lasers. Different purposes.
- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Uses broad-spectrum pulses of light that generate heat within targeted structures, including melanin in hair follicles, to achieve long-term hair reduction. IPL is also used to address certain pigmentation and vascular concerns.
- CO₂ Ablative Lasers: Deliver concentrated laser energy to vaporize controlled layers of skin tissue, removing portions of the outer epidermis and stimulating the skin's natural healing and renewal processes. They are commonly used for skin resurfacing, fine lines, wrinkles, and textural irregularities.
- CUTERA enLIGHTen III Picosecond Laser: Uses ultrashort pulses of laser energy to create a predominantly photoacoustic (mechanical) effect rather than relying primarily on thermal energy. This rapid delivery of energy can selectively shatter targeted pigment particles, address certain scar-related textural concerns, and stimulate collagen remodeling. Its multiple wavelengths and pulse durations provide treatment versatility for concerns involving both superficial and deeper skin structures, including the epidermis and dermis. Unlike traditional heat-dependent approaches, its photoacoustic mechanism allows targeted treatment with reduced reliance on surrounding tissue heating.
The LUSTRELOOK difference: Understanding the science behind each laser—and having the expertise to select the appropriate technology, parameters, and treatment approach—is essential to achieving safe, precise, and meaningful aesthetic outcomes.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Your Laser Treatment Questions, Answered
What Can Pico Genesis Skin Rejuvenation Address?
Pico Genesis addresses pigmentation concerns such as sunspots and sun damage, age spots, freckles, hyperpigmentation, actinic keratosis, birthmarks, select blue nevi, hyperpigmented scars and more. If your concerns also include fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, thin or crepey-looking skin or reduced elasticity, Our LUSTRELOOK medical team will explain the available treatment options after reviewing your skin concerns. Acne scars are covered under Acne Scar Treatment.How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need?
Skin rejuvenation: A typical initial course may involve 2–3 treatments spaced approximately six weeks apart. Improvements develop gradually. Results may develop over six months to a year, with maintenance approximately twice a year. Our LUSTRELOOK medical team will explain how these expectations may apply to your skin and treatment plan.
Acne and body scars: Treatments are typically spaced approximately six weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on the scar’s type, depth, color, location and healing response. Our LUSTRELOOK medical team will review the area and explain the proposed course and realistic expectations.
Brow tattoos and microblading: Treatment may involve 1–3 sessions spaced approximately four weeks apart. Pigment color, depth, age, saturation and previous removal treatments can affect the course.
Body tattoos: Sessions are typically spaced approximately eight weeks apart. The number of sessions varies with the tattoo’s size, colors, depth, age, location and previous scarring. Fading develops gradually, with healing time between treatments. Complete clearance cannot be guaranteed.
Discuss your recommended treatment course and the time between sessions during your consultation.
How Much Does Treatment Cost?
See the Pricing page for treatment areas and package options. Your cost depends on the treatment area and the course recommended for you. Our LUSTRELOOK medical team will explain the proposed treatment plan and cost before you decide whether to proceed. The number of visits in a package does not guarantee a specific result.Our Approach to Patient Selection & Treatment Eligibility
At LUSTRELOOK, we take a selective, clinically guided approach to laser treatments, prioritizing patient safety, appropriate treatment selection, and individualized care.
For procedures addressing pigmentation and hyperpigmentation, LUSTRELOOK does not currently offer laser treatments for melasma or for individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types V–VI (dark and very dark skin tones). These limitations reflect our practice's specific treatment protocols and clinical approach and should not be interpreted as a determination that these conditions or skin types are unsuitable for all laser treatments.
We believe responsible aesthetic care begins with appropriate patient selection. We encourage individuals to consult with a qualified medical professional to discuss their skin concerns, evaluate potential risks, and explore treatment options best suited to their individual needs.
