Pricing & what's included
VAT at 10% is charged separately on every treatment and program.
- Pigment is not one condition. Freckles and sun spots sit near the surface. Melasma and some acquired pigment sit deeper and react to heat. The physician identifies which you have before choosing a wavelength and setting.
- Cutera Enlighten fires at 532nm, used for surface pigment, and 1,064nm, used for deeper pigment. Settings are chosen area by area.
- Melasma can darken if it is treated too hard, and it can return. It is treated at gentle settings over several sessions, with daily sun protection as part of the plan.
- This menu entry is Pigmentation Deep Treatment: Cutera laser pigment treatment. It is separate from The First Pigment laser Omakase, a combined program.
Final treatment and price are confirmed after assessment, before treatment begins.

Treatment background
What Enlighten is
Enlighten is a laser made by Cutera that fires very short pulses, in picoseconds and nanoseconds. Pulses this short are intended to break pigment into small particles mainly by mechanical effect rather than heat. The body then clears those particles gradually.
It is used for freckles, sun spots, melasma and pigment that sits deeper in the skin. Which of these you have, and how deep it sits, decides the settings and the number of sessions.
Outcomes vary by individual.
- Manufacturer: Cutera, USA
- Pulse: Picosecond and nanosecond pulse durations
- Wavelengths: 532nm and 1,064nm
Why depth matters
532nm for surface pigment
Used for freckles and sun spots that sit in the top layer of skin.
1,064nm for deeper pigment
Used for melasma and pigment in the dermis. It is also used at gentle settings for laser toning.
Even beam
The beam spreads energy across the spot rather than concentrating it in the centre. The aim is even treatment of broad, patchy pigment.
Surface pigment and deep pigment
Surface pigment
- Small, sharp-edged spots
- Sits mainly in the epidermis
- Often responds to fewer sessions
- Can come back with sun exposure
Deep pigment and melasma
- Broad patches with blurred edges
- Sits in the epidermis and upper dermis
- Reacts to heat and can darken if treated too hard
- Usually needs a series of gentle sessions and often comes back
- Driven by several factors: sun, heat, hormones, inflammation
How melasma is handled
Low and slow
Melasma is treated at gentle settings over a series of sessions. Treating it too hard can make it darker.
Sun and skin care
Daily sun protection is part of treatment. Without it, pigment tends to return.
Maintenance
Melasma is a long-term condition. Maintenance sessions are common, and the physician discusses this at the start.
Further treatment details
Who it is for
- Freckles and sun spots.

Tune Clinic Enlighten Q&A
Which kinds of pigment can Enlighten be used on?
Freckles, sun spots, melasma and deeper pigment. The physician first identifies which you have, because each is treated differently, and some pigment should be left alone or treated another way.
Can I go about my day after treatment?
Usually, yes. Mild redness or tightness is common. Surface spots can darken and flake before they fade. For about a day, avoid strong sun, saunas and hard exercise, and use sun protection after that.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the pigment. Some surface spots may need only a session or two. Melasma and deeper pigment usually need a series, and maintenance is common. The physician gives an estimate after assessment, and results vary by individual.
What should I send on WhatsApp before booking?
Close-up and full-face photos of the pigment in daylight without makeup. Tell us whether a doctor has called it melasma, which lightening creams you use, any recent tanning, and your dates in Seoul. The physician confirms the diagnosis and plan in person.

Treatment FAQ
Is Enlighten the same as The First Pigment laser Omakase?
No. This page is Pigmentation Deep Treatment with Cutera Enlighten at KRW 330,000. The First Pigment laser Omakase is a separate combined program. The physician suggests which suits your pigment at consultation.
What does the physician check before Enlighten?
What the pigment is, how deep it sits and how widely it is spread, how sensitive your skin is, and whether you have recently tanned. Those answers decide the wavelength (532nm or 1,064nm), the settings and how many sessions to plan.
