Treatment Overview
Ultrapulse Laser is a premium fractional CO₂ laser system used in Korea for advanced resurfacing of wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and textural damage. The ultra-short, high-energy pulses penetrate deeply into the skin while minimizing heat damage, making it highly effective for acne scars, photoaging, and skin laxity.
When combined with the Hollywood Laser Peel (Carbon Laser Peel), the Ultrapulse Laser provides a dual benefit: the Hollywood Peel delivers pore cleansing, oil control, and instant glow, while the Ultrapulse Laser addresses long-term skin remodeling, scar repair, and anti-aging. This synergy makes it a popular option in Korea for patients seeking both immediate brightness and deep rejuvenation.
