Treatment Overview
The Lutronic Clarity II is a next-generation dual-wavelength laser system developed by Lutronic (a Korean medical aesthetics company). It combines 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG lasers in one device, making it highly versatile for permanent hair removal across all skin types.
In Korea, the Clarity II Laser is widely chosen for fast, comfortable, and effective hair removal. Its intelligent cooling system, large spot sizes, and rapid repetition rates allow dermatologists to cover both small and large areas efficiently while ensuring patient comfort. It is especially popular among international patients because it is safe for both light and dark skin tones, including tanned skin.
