Dual Yellow Laser in Seoul

Dual Yellow Laser explained

Dual Yellow is a copper bromide laser, not a dye or IPL device. It emits two wavelengths, 578 nm yellow and 511 nm green. Korean clinics use it widely for redness and sensitive skin.

How Dual Yellow Laser works

The 578 nm yellow light is absorbed by haemoglobin, so it shrinks small blood vessels causing redness. The 511 nm green light targets melanin for brown spots. Pulses are delivered gently so the skin usually does not bruise.
