What is laser skin resurfacing, and which type do I need?
Laser skin resurfacing uses controlled laser energy to remove or heat tiny columns of skin, leaving healthy skin between them. As the skin heals, it makes new collagen, so texture, pores, fine lines and shallow scars look smoother. Lighter fractional treatments mean a few days of redness; stronger CO2 resurfacing works deeper but brings around a week of crusting and peeling.
At JRYN Seomyeon, Dr. Kim Ji-young chooses the laser and settings after checking your skin type, scars and travel dates. Fotona Fractional is ₩200,000 per session . CO2 fractional settings vary by area, so that price is confirmed at consultation .

Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
How much does laser skin resurfacing cost in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, Fotona Fractional resurfacing is ₩200,000 per session. CO2 fractional resurfacing depends on the area and depth, so the price is confirmed at consultation. As an alternative, Potenza RF microneedling is ₩149,000 or ₩249,000.
How much downtime does laser resurfacing have?
It depends on the strength. A moderate fractional treatment such as Fotona Fractional usually means redness for a short time. CO2 resurfacing goes deeper and typically brings about 5–7 days of redness, crusting and peeling. Your doctor matches the intensity to your schedule.
Is laser resurfacing good for acne scars?
It can improve shallow and rolling acne scars and general texture. Deep ice-pick or boxcar scars often need a combination plan, for example CO2 fractional with RF microneedling or subcision. Your doctor looks at your scar types before recommending a plan.
What is the difference between fractional and CO2 laser?
Fractional describes how the energy is delivered, in tiny columns with healthy skin between them. CO2 is a type of laser. A CO2 laser can be used fractionally, which is called fractional CO2. Fotona Fractional is another fractional option that is usually gentler.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number. Lighter fractional treatments are often done as a series a few weeks apart, while stronger CO2 treatments need fewer sessions but more recovery. Your doctor suggests a plan after seeing your skin.
Can laser resurfacing shrink pores?
It can make pores look smaller by improving the surrounding texture and firmness, but pores cannot be erased permanently. Oil control and regular skincare help keep the result.
Is laser resurfacing safe for darker or Asian skin?
It can be, with careful settings. Darker skin has a higher risk of temporary darkening after laser, so the doctor may use gentler settings and stress sun protection. Tell your doctor if you have had pigmentation after past treatments.
Can I have laser resurfacing during a trip to Busan?
Yes, if the downtime fits. Gentler fractional treatment can suit a short trip, while CO2 resurfacing is best when you have about a week to heal. Tell us your flight date on WhatsApp so your doctor can plan.
