Treatment Overview
The Clarity Laser by Lutronic (a leading Korean manufacturer) is a dual-wavelength platform that combines 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG lasers, making it highly versatile for laser hair removal across different skin tones and hair types.
In Korea, the Clarity Laser Hair Removal system is popular because it offers fast, safe, and long-lasting results with built-in cooling technology for comfort. Its dual wavelengths allow dermatologists to treat both lighter skin with dark hair (using Alexandrite) and darker or tanned skin tones (using Nd:YAG), making it suitable for a broad patient base, including international visitors.
