Ask the clinic for: 클라리티2 (클라리티 II)

Clarity II Laser explained

Clarity II is a long-pulse laser made by Lutronic, a Korean company. It combines an alexandrite 755 nm laser and an Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser in one device. Korean clinics often use it for pigment spots, facial redness and hair removal.

How Clarity II Laser works

The 755 nm wavelength is strongly absorbed by melanin, so it targets brown spots and hair follicles. The 1064 nm wavelength goes deeper and targets blood vessels and gentle dermal heating. A cooling system protects the surface during each pulse.

Who Clarity II Laser is for

• Sun spots, freckles and age spots
• Facial redness and small visible vessels
• Laser hair removal on the face and body
• General skin rejuvenation and tone
• Combining pigment and redness care in one device

Who should avoid Clarity II Laser

• Pregnant women (most clinics delay non-essential laser)
• Recent tan or sunburn
• Darker skin types for 755 nm treatments (1064 nm is safer)
• Melasma, which may worsen with strong spot settings
• Active skin infection or cold sores
