Skin Resurfacing in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: Skin resurfacing uses lasers or energy devices to remove or remodel the outer skin layers so smoother, more even skin can regrow. Non-ablative fractional lasers offer gentler resurfacing with short downtime, while ablative CO2 resurfacing is stronger with longer recovery. At Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon, U-Pulse Fraxel is ₩25,000 and Potenza full face is ₩99,000 for a first visit (VAT excluded); CO2 availability is confirmed at consultation.

Ablative vs non-ablative resurfacing
Non-ablative fractional lasers heat tiny columns of tissue while leaving the surface intact. Recovery is short, and results build across several sessions. Ablative lasers such as the CO2 laser vaporise micro-columns of skin, which can produce more change per session but with peeling and longer downtime. CO2 is not on the published price list; device availability and the best option are confirmed at consultation.
Who is a candidate?
Resurfacing is often considered for rolling or boxcar acne scars , sun-damaged texture, and etched lines. People with active acne, recent tanning, or a tendency towards pigmentation may need preparation or gentler settings. Asian skin types are often treated with conservative parameters to reduce post-inflammatory darkening.
Resurfacing options at Daybeau
- U-Pulse Fraxel (₩25,000): fractional resurfacing with minimal downtime.
- Potenza (₩99,000, tip not included): RF microneedling that remodels the dermis beneath the surface.
For milder concerns, see skin texture treatment .
Aftercare
Expect redness, warmth and sometimes fine flaking. Keep skin moisturised, avoid makeup for 24 hours (longer after ablative work), skip saunas and actives, and use strict sun protection for several weeks.
Skin Resurfacing FAQ
How long is the downtime after laser resurfacing?
Non-ablative fractional resurfacing usually causes redness for one to three days. Ablative CO2 resurfacing typically involves around five to ten days of redness, crusting and peeling.
Is skin resurfacing safe for Asian skin?
It can be, with appropriate device choice and conservative settings. Asian skin has a higher tendency to develop temporary darkening after inflammation, so sun protection and gradual treatment plans are important.
Does resurfacing remove acne scars completely?
Resurfacing can noticeably soften many acne scars, but complete removal is uncommon. Deep scars often need combined approaches over several sessions.
When should I avoid skin resurfacing?
It is usually postponed during active acne flares, infections, recent sunburn or tanning, and pregnancy. Tell the physician about any medications, such as oral isotretinoin, before treatment.
