01 Straight answer

Do you have Discovery Fractional in Busan?

No. Discovery Fractional is a fractional lens on the Discovery Pico laser: picosecond pulses focused into micro-zones under an intact surface, for texture, pores and shallow scars with a day or two of redness. The same pass at Boom Dermatology runs on PicoHi Fraxel at ₩275,000 and Picolo Fraxel at ₩330,000; where the scars are deeper than a picosecond fractional reaches, FloraCell at ₩220,000 and Potenza at ₩440,000 are the next tiers on the scar plan.

03 Choose

Which Discovery Fractional alternative is right for you?

Patients who ask for Discovery Fractional by name want one of these; each has a device at Boom Dermatology. The consultation at our Seomyeon skin clinic is free when you proceed.

Freckles and defined spots

Picosecond on the spots, 532 nm targeted, over three to five sessions.

Dull, uneven tone

The gentle toning course, five to ten sessions.

Stubborn, plateaued pigment

Higher power or picosecond for what toning has not moved.

Melasma

Lowest energy, longest patience, RF that spares the pigment.

Texture, pores, shallow scars

The fractional picosecond pass, or a deeper tier if the scars need it.

Why Boom Dermatology does not carry Discovery Fractional

Three reasons, stated without hype in either direction.

Two fractional pico passes

PicoHi Fraxel and Picolo Fraxel are the same focused-picosecond principle at two strengths.

Tiers above it

FloraCell, Potenza and Scorpio cover the scars a picosecond fractional cannot reach; one list, one reading.

Same-day pairing

Toning and a fractional pass in one visit for pigment and texture together, the way a Discovery session would.

06 Questions, answered properly

What does a fractional pico pass actually do for texture?

It creates thousands of microscopic zones of remodelling under an intact surface, so collagen rebuilds between them over weeks while the skin looks only pink for a day or two. Pores tighten and shallow scars soften over three to five sessions. At Boom Dermatology the pass is PicoHi Fraxel or Picolo Fraxel, and it pairs with toning the same day.

Is a picosecond fractional enough for acne scars?

For shallow rolling scars and texture, yes; for pitted or tethered scars, no, and we say so. Those want FloraCell at the mid-depth or Potenza and Scorpio at depth. The scar type is read by stretching the skin at the consultation at our Seomyeon skin clinic.

How much downtime, honestly?

One to two days of redness and a fine grid, make-up from the next morning, a flight the next day. It is the lightest texture option on the list, which is the reason to choose it and the reason it has limits.

How many sessions?

Three to five, four to six weeks apart, each bought one at a time at Boom Dermatology in Busan, with a photo at each to show the texture changing.
