Dermatology ClinicAcne Scar Treatment in Busan, Korea RF microneedling, fractional laser and boosters, planned around your scar type
Ice pick, boxcar and rolling scars respond to different tools. At JRYN Seomyeon a doctor identifies your scar types first, then builds a course with a clear total before you begin .
Can acne scars be treated without surgery?
Yes. Most acne scars are improved with non-surgical treatments that rebuild collagen under the scar: RF microneedling such as Potenza, fractional lasers, and in some cases skin boosters or subcision for tethered scars. Scars improve gradually over a course of sessions rather than disappearing in one visit, and how far they improve depends on their depth and type.
At JRYN Seomyeon, Potenza RF microneedling is ₩149,000 with a general tip and ₩249,000 with a pumping tip, and Fotona Fractional is ₩200,000 per session. Dr. Kim checks your scars in person and recommends a combination and number of sessions.
Matching the treatment to your scar type
Most faces have a mix of scar types, so plans often combine two approaches.
| Scar type | What it looks like | Treatments often used |
|---|---|---|
| Ice pick | Narrow, deep pits | RF microneedling, fractional laser, targeted resurfacing |
| Boxcar | Wider depressions with sharp edges | RF microneedling, fractional laser |
| Rolling | Soft, wavy dips pulled down by bands under the skin | Subcision plus RF microneedling or boosters |
| Red marks (PIE) | Flat red or pink marks after breakouts | Vascular laser such as Vbeam, or Excel V |
| Brown marks (PIH) | Flat brown marks after inflammation | Pico toning and sun protection |
Flat red or brown marks are not true scars and usually respond faster than pitted scars.

Acne Scar Treatment FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
How much does acne scar treatment cost in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, Potenza RF microneedling is ₩149,000 with a general tip or ₩249,000 with a pumping tip, and Fotona Fractional is ₩200,000 per session. Because scars usually need a course, ask your doctor for the total for your full plan.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need a course of about 3 or more sessions, spaced roughly 4 weeks apart. Deeper or more widespread scars may need more. Your doctor estimates the number after examining your skin.
Can acne scars be removed completely?
Usually not completely. The realistic goal is shallower scars and smoother texture, often a clear improvement after a full course. Results vary with scar depth, skin type and how your skin heals.
Which treatment is best for my scars?
It depends on the type. Ice pick and boxcar scars respond well to RF microneedling and fractional laser, rolling scars often need subcision as well, and flat red or brown marks are treated with vascular or pico lasers. Most plans combine two methods.
What is the downtime after Potenza or fractional laser?
Expect redness for about 1 to 3 days, sometimes with mild swelling or tiny marks. Many people return to daily activities the next day. Avoid strong sun and active skincare while your skin settles.
Can I treat scars while I still have acne?
It is better to calm active acne first, because inflamed skin heals less predictably and new breakouts create new marks. Your doctor may treat acne and scars in stages.
Can I do acne scar treatment on a short trip?
Yes, one session fits a short stay, and many visitors return for later sessions on another trip. Tell us your flight date on WhatsApp so redness has time to settle before you fly.
