Treatment Overview
Ruby Laser is one of the earliest pigment-specific lasers, using a 694 nm wavelength that is strongly absorbed by melanin. In Korea, it is highly effective for treating freckles, age spots, sunspots, and other superficial pigmentation issues.
When integrated into the Hollywood Laser Peel protocol, the Ruby Laser provides focused pigment removal, while the carbon peel portion deeply cleanses pores, balances oil, and restores instant radiance. This combination makes Ruby Laser + Hollywood Peel especially popular among patients with freckles, sunspots, and dull skin seeking both long-term pigment clearance and immediate glow.
