What is laser hair removal, and is it right for me?
Laser hair removal at Liftique uses the Clarity II laser, combining 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelengths to heat melanin in the hair follicle and suppress regrowth. It suits women and men tired of shaving or waxing irritation, folliculitis or beard shadow. Plan 5 or more sessions 4–6 weeks apart for semi-permanent reduction, with no downtime. From ₩35,000 (VAT excl.) near Sinsa Station, Seoul.
Smooth skin, set up for your skin and hair type
Effective hair removal is about more than switching a laser on. Skin tone, hair thickness and follicle depth all change how the laser should be set. Before every course, our dermatologists check these factors and set the wavelength, energy and pulse width for you individually.
The Clarity II uses two wavelengths together – 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG – concentrating heat on the melanin in the follicle. Personalised settings are designed to help prevent burns and folliculitis, which matters most for darker skin tones and densely haired areas. Built-in cooling keeps discomfort mild, and soothing care is provided before and after treatment.
Shaving and waxing fatigue
Reduce the time, cost and irritation of constant hair removal at home.
Folliculitis
For skin that reacts to razors and wax, laser reduction may ease repeated irritation.
Hyperpigmentation from shaving
A suitable option when repeated shaving or waxing leaves darkened skin behind.
Face and body areas
Face, underarms, arms, legs and the Brazilian area can all be treated.
Beard shadow for men
Men can use laser hair removal to fade the look of beard shadow.
Darker skin and dense hair
Individually set wavelength, energy and pulse width aim to reduce the risk of burns and folliculitis.

Safety, risks and aftercare
Any laser that heats the hair follicle must be set carefully. Burns and folliculitis are the risks our approach is designed to help prevent – particularly on darker skin and in densely haired areas – which is why your settings are personalised rather than standard. Discomfort is usually mild thanks to built-in cooling. Hair reduction builds over a course, and individual results vary.
- Skin colour, hair thickness and follicle depth are checked before treatment.
- Wavelength, energy and pulse width are set individually by your dermatologist's plan.
- Tell your doctor about medications, skin conditions and recent sun exposure or tanning.
- Soothing care is included before and after each session; ask your doctor about sun protection and home hair-removal methods between sessions.
- Contact us on WhatsApp if you notice anything unexpected after treatment; photo follow-up is available after you fly home.
