Reepot by Classys: AI-Guided Pigmentation Laser Treatment in NYC
The World’s First Pigmentation-Targeted Laser with Super Cooling Technology
Reepot is a medical laser device developed by Classys and its subsidiary Ilooda, both South Korean medical device companies at the forefront of aesthetic innovation. It holds a notable distinction as the world’s first pigmentation-targeted laser with integrated super cooling technology, and is approved by both the U.S. FDA and Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS).
Reepot is designed specifically to treat pigmented lesions such as freckles, sunspots, and age spots. What sets it apart from conventional pigmentation lasers is its combination of intelligent AutoDerm guidance technology, VSLS variable spot delivery, and contact cryocooling, which together allow for faster, more precise, and more comfortable treatments than older pigment laser platforms.
Classys merged with Ilooda in 2024, bringing Reepot into the same portfolio as the Ultraformer MPT and EVERESSE, and expanding the company’s capabilities across HIFU, RF, and laser modalities.
How Reepot Works
Reepot uses a Nd:YAG laser source operating at a 532nm wavelength, delivered through a handpiece incorporating Ilooda’s proprietary VSLS (Variable Spot Laser System) technology. The 532nm wavelength is highly absorbed by melanin, making it well suited for targeting superficial and dermal pigmented lesions.
The VSLS technology allows the spot size and energy parameters to be adjusted in real time, enabling the device to deliver precisely calibrated energy to each lesion based on its individual characteristics rather than applying a fixed setting across the treatment area.
AutoDerm: AI-Guided Treatment Delivery
One of Reepot’s most clinically distinctive features is its AutoDerm system.
AutoDerm uses an integrated external medical camera to collect real-time data on each lesion being treated. The system uses this data to automatically recognize the treatment target, track its position, and adjust laser energy intensity based on the depth and concentration of pigment within the lesion.
This means the device delivers higher energy where pigment is denser and lower energy where it is more superficial, all without manual adjustment by the practitioner between shots. The result is a more uniform treatment of the targeted area with a reduced risk of over-treating or under-treating individual spots.
For patients with multiple lesions of varying depth and concentration, this intelligent guidance represents a meaningful clinical advantage over conventional pigmentation lasers that apply the same fixed parameters to every spot.
CPTL Contact Cooling Technology
Reepot incorporates Classys’s CPTL (Constant Pressure Thermal Laser) contact cooling system, which uses a sapphire-tipped handpiece to maintain a constant preset cooling temperature throughout the entire procedure.
This continuous cryocooling protects the surface of the skin while allowing the laser to deliver high energy to the target pigment below. The result is a more comfortable treatment experience, with most patients tolerating the procedure without the need for topical anesthetic.
The sapphire contact tip also provides consistent pressure against the skin during treatment, which helps stabilize the target area and maintain accurate energy delivery at the treatment site.
Three Treatment Modes
Reepot offers three operational modes that allow the treating physician to select the most appropriate approach for different treatment scenarios.
Single mode delivers a manually triggered pulse to one target at a time, giving the practitioner full control over each individual shot. AutoDerm mode activates the AI-guided system to automatically adjust energy based on real-time lesion data, and is typically used for treating multiple spots across a broader area. Semi-AutoDerm mode combines elements of both, allowing the practitioner to define the treatment area while the device handles dynamic energy adjustment.
What Reepot Can Treat
Reepot is indicated primarily for the treatment of pigmented lesions caused by UV exposure and aging, including freckles, sunspots, age spots, and lentigo. These concerns commonly appear on the face, backs of the hands, forearms, and other areas regularly exposed to sun.
The AutoDerm system’s ability to adjust energy intensity based on pigment depth and density makes it particularly effective for treating lentigines where the depth and concentration of pigment varies from spot to spot across the same area.
Benefits of Reepot
- World’s first pigmentation laser with integrated super cooling technology
- FDA-cleared and MFDS-approved
- AutoDerm AI guidance automatically adjusts energy to individual lesion characteristics
- CPTL sapphire contact cooling for patient comfort with no anesthetic typically required
- VSLS variable spot technology for customizable, precise energy delivery
- Three treatment modes for flexibility across different clinical scenarios
- Fast treatment sessions with minimal downtime
Ideal Candidates for Reepot
Reepot is best suited for patients with discrete pigmented lesions such as freckles, age spots, and sunspots who want targeted, efficient treatment with minimal discomfort and downtime.
It is particularly well suited for patients with multiple lesions of varying depth and intensity, where the AutoDerm system’s ability to individually calibrate each shot offers a meaningful advantage over fixed-parameter devices.
A consultation with a board-certified dermatologist is important before any pigmentation laser treatment to assess lesion type, confirm the lesions are benign, and determine whether Reepot or another modality is the most appropriate approach.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most patients describe a cool sensation when the sapphire handpiece makes contact with the skin, followed by brief warmth or mild snapping during energy delivery. Anesthetic is typically not required, though it may be offered for particularly sensitive patients.
Treatment sessions are efficient, with the AutoDerm system allowing the device to move through multiple lesions quickly. Session length varies by the number and distribution of lesions being addressed.
Results and Recovery
Treated spots typically darken temporarily in the days following treatment before gradually fading as the fragmented pigment is cleared by the body. This process generally takes one to two weeks.
There is minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities and can apply makeup the same day as treatment. Avoiding excessive sun exposure, saunas, and rigorous exercise for approximately one week following treatment is generally advised, along with consistent sunscreen use to protect results and prevent recurrence.
Reepot Within the Classys Portfolio
Following the 2024 merger of Classys and Ilooda, Reepot now sits within a broader portfolio that includes the Ultraformer MPT for HIFU lifting and the EVERESSE for monopolar RF tightening. This positions Reepot as the targeted pigmentation component within a comprehensive system of devices designed to address different layers and concerns of skin aging and quality, and reflects the direction Korean aesthetic medicine is heading toward multi-modality treatment platforms.
