The Reepot laser combines a 532 nm Nd:YAG laser with an external medical camera that images the skin. The WOOA dermatology website describes it as a combination device approved by Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) and says it is used to treat facial lentigines (pigmentation mainly caused by UV exposure) and other pigmentation such as blemishes and age spots. Clinic procedure information: about 30 minutes, topical anesthetic ointment, recovery listed as 'same-day recovery possible' (as stated by the clinic; varies by individual); treatment interval not listed (confirm at consultation).

Who this is for
- Those concerned about facial lentigines (blemishes, age spots, etc.)
- Those whose lentigines came back after previous removal
- Those with recurring pigmentation who want to discuss treatment options
How it is done
The clinic explains the principle in four steps: (1) recognising the target (lentigo lesion), (2) supercooling the target area, (3) recognising the coordinates of pigment amount and depth within the lesion, and (4) controlling laser output according to the target. It states that image-processing technology keeps unnecessary energy from reaching normal tissue and that the laser is delivered while a set cooling temperature is maintained. The lentigo condition is assessed first and a treatment plan is made accordingly; the clinic states that genuine tips are opened before the procedure.
Recovery timeline
The clinic lists recovery as 'same-day recovery possible'. This is the site's guidance on returning to daily activities; how long redness or crusting lasts varies by individual. Ask at your visit about aftercare such as sun protection.
Risks and side effects
- Temporary redness, swelling, stinging and crusting may occur in the treated area.
- Rarely, hyperpigmentation (darkening), hypopigmentation, burns or scarring may occur.
- The clinic explains that lentigines can recur after removal because the epidermis proliferates. Recurrence and the number of sessions needed vary by individual.
- Results, recovery speed and the number of sessions needed vary with skin condition, and suitability is decided at consultation and examination.
Results and recovery vary by individual. Possible complications are explained during consultation.
