Treatment Overview
Ruby Laser Whitening is a specialized skin-brightening and pigmentation removal treatment that uses a 694 nm wavelength laser. It is highly effective in breaking down melanin clusters that cause freckles, age spots, and other pigmentation issues. In Korea, Ruby Laser treatments are performed using advanced, FDA- and KFDA-approved devices, ensuring precise targeting of pigmented lesions while protecting surrounding skin. This makes it a trusted whitening treatment for patients seeking long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
