Treatment Overview
Erbium YAG Laser Brightening in Korea is an advanced dermatology procedure designed to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance while addressing pigmentation, fine lines, and mild acne scars. The Erbium YAG laser operates at a wavelength of 2940 nm, which is highly absorbed by water in the skin, allowing precise ablation of the outer skin layers without excessive heat damage.
This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking non-invasive skin brightening and resurfacing. Korean dermatologists often combine Erbium YAG treatments with Vitamin C, Glutathione, or Collagen IV therapies to enhance whitening, hydration, and rejuvenation. With Korea’s expertise in laser technology and tailored protocols, patients achieve safe, natural, and long-lasting results.
