Used enlighten for Sale: Current Listings, Used Price Range and What to Check

A used Cutera enlighten is listed at $39,000 to $99,950 as of November 2026, with a median of $74,749.50 across four listings from three sellers.

The median sits between two price clusters, so compare by version rather than against the single figure.

Two 2015 enlighten units are listed at $39,000 and $49,999 by two dealers on DOTmed.

Two enlighten III units are listed at $99,500 (2018) and $99,950 (year not stated), both by the same dealer.

One dealer's feed also shows two out-of-stock earlier listings: a 2016 enlighten at $12,975 and a 2019 enlighten II at $20,975.

Those two earlier listings are not in the price box above, which counts current listings only.

Used enlighten listings come in three versions: enlighten, enlighten II and enlighten III.

K160488, decided on October 28, 2016, is the earliest 510(k) found in the FDA's openFDA database under the enlighten III device name.

Launch years for the first enlighten and enlighten II are not in our records, so date a unit by its manufacture label and invoice.

Cutera's enlighten III is a laser system that delivers 1064, 532 and 670 nm, FDA-cleared under K160488 in 2016.

The FDA file for Lutronic PicoPlus, a 450 ps and 2 ns laser, names enlighten III (K172077) as one of its two predicate devices.

Compare enlighten with other systems in used picosecond laser prices in the class enlighten belongs to.

Cutera does not publish a transfer, recertification or pre-owned fee for a used enlighten as of November 2026.

Cutera's US customer-support page sends service, preventive maintenance and service-contract questions to Cutera itself.

Ask Cutera in writing, with the serial number, whether it charges a fee to support the system for a new owner and whether the unit needs any paid consumables.

Cutera's fiscal 2023 10-K says it offers post-warranty service contracts covering parts and labor, or time-and-materials support.

Cutera filed pre-packaged Chapter 11 cases on March 5, 2025, to cut its debt by nearly $400 million and emerge as a private company.

Cutera told customers in its March 2025 FAQ that the process had no impact on product availability, service or support.

Other Cutera systems are listed on used Cutera devices beyond the enlighten.

Cutera's enlighten III is FDA-cleared for benign pigmented lesions and tattoo removal, plus acne scars with the Micro Lens Array.

• Benign pigmented lesions at 1064, 532 and 670 nm (K160488, 2016).
• Tattoo removal at 1064, 532 and 670 nm (K160488, 2016).
• Acne scars on Fitzpatrick skin types II–V with the Micro Lens Array handpiece attachment (K182997, 2018).

These clearances name enlighten III, so ask the seller of an older enlighten or enlighten II for its own 510(k) number.

Check five things on a used enlighten: the version label, the wavelengths, the Micro Lens Array, Cutera's service answer and the serial match.

1. Version label: confirm enlighten, enlighten II or enlighten III on the console, since current asking prices run from $39,000 to $99,950 by version.
2. Wavelengths: match the unit to K160488 (1064, 532 and 670 nm), since one 2018 enlighten III listing describes 532, 755 and 1064 nm.
3. Micro Lens Array: confirm it is included if you plan to treat acne scars under K182997.
4. Cutera's service answer: get Cutera's written terms on fees, service and any software lock for the serial number, since Cutera publishes no policy.
5. Serial match: match the console serial and manufacture date to the service records and the seller's invoice.

For units from 2015 or 2016, work through the full list in the used aesthetic laser buying steps that apply to an older enlighten before you pay a deposit.

Cutera's enlighten III is a prescription device, so sellers sell it to licensed practitioners or on a licensed practitioner's order.
