Dermatology ClinicFraxel Dual Laser in Busan, Korea Two fractional wavelengths for rough texture, sun damage, fine lines and mild acne scars
Fraxel Dual resurfaces the skin in tiny columns while leaving the surface largely intact, so recovery is shorter than with ablative lasers. At JRYN Seomyeon, a doctor compares it with our other resurfacing options and confirms the plan and price at consultation .
What is Fraxel Dual and what does it treat?
Fraxel Dual is a non-ablative fractional laser with two wavelengths. The 1550 nm wavelength reaches deeper to stimulate collagen for texture, fine lines and mild acne scars, while the 1927 nm wavelength works closer to the surface on sun damage and pigment. Because it treats a fraction of the skin at a time and does not remove the surface, healing is faster than with CO2 resurfacing, but results build over a course.
Fraxel Dual is not on JRYN Seomyeon's fixed price list, so the doctor confirms suitability and price at your consultation . Listed resurfacing options include Fotona Fractional at ₩200,000 per session and Potenza from ₩149,000 .

Fraxel Dual Laser FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
What does Fraxel Dual treat?
Fraxel Dual treats rough texture, sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores and mild acne scars. It uses two wavelengths, one for deeper collagen remodeling and one for surface pigment and sun damage.
Your doctor checks first whether your concern suits Fraxel or another option.
How much does Fraxel Dual cost in Busan?
Fraxel Dual is not on JRYN Seomyeon's fixed price list, so the doctor confirms suitability and price at your consultation.
For comparison, listed resurfacing options include Fotona Fractional at ₩200,000 per session and Potenza from ₩149,000.
Is Fraxel Dual painful?
Numbing cream is applied beforehand, and most people describe a hot, prickling feeling during the passes. Cooling helps.
Tell your doctor if you are sensitive so the settings and comfort plan can be adjusted.
How long is the downtime?
Expect redness and swelling for about 2 to 3 days, then a bronzed, flaky look for up to about a week while the skin renews.
Avoid sun, saunas and active skincare until your doctor says it is fine.
How many sessions do I need?
Many people need a course of several sessions spaced weeks apart, especially for scars. Texture and glow may improve after one.
Your doctor sets the number based on your skin. Results vary.
Fraxel or CO2 laser: which is better?
Fraxel Dual is non-ablative, with shorter recovery, and suits milder texture and sun damage. CO2 fractional is ablative and stronger, for deeper scars, with longer downtime.
Your doctor recommends the one that fits your scars and schedule.
Can I have Fraxel on a holiday in Busan?
Only if you have about a week after treatment without important photos or heavy sun. Plan it at the start of your stay, not just before you fly.
