Treatment Overview
Alexandrite Laser Brightening in Korea is a non-invasive dermatology procedure designed to reduce pigmentation, freckles, sun spots, and uneven skin tone while improving overall skin brightness. Using Alexandrite laser technology (755 nm wavelength), the treatment targets melanin in the skin, breaking it down to be naturally removed by the body.
This therapy is suitable for individuals with hyperpigmentation, age spots, or post-inflammatory pigmentation and is often combined with Vitamin C or Glutathione therapies to enhance whitening and skin rejuvenation effects. Korean dermatologists use precise settings and multiple passes to ensure safe, effective, and even results.
