What is it?

The 694nm wavelength is absorbed extremely well by melanin (roughly 10 times more than other lasers), so it selectively breaks down pigment deep in the dermis and even some tattoo ink.

Who it's for

Regarded as the standard treatment (the gold standard) for stubborn pigment conditions that older lasers struggled with, such as nevus of Ota, freckles, blemishes and some tattoos.
