Straight answer
Do you have Fotona Fractional in Busan?
No.
Fotona fractional uses an Er:YAG 2940 nm beam split into micro-columns to ablate tiny channels in the skin with little surrounding heat, for texture, fine lines and pores with a few days of downtime. At Boom Dermatology the light-resurfacing job goes to Moxi, a non-ablative 1927 nm fractional that lifts upper-skin pigment and remodels texture with three to five days of flaking, ₩770,000; pores and shallow scars with minimal downtime go to PicoHi Fraxel, ₩275,000; deeper texture and scars go to Potenza, ₩440,000; and the ablative option for deep scars is CO2 fractional, priced at consultation. The resurfacing page
sets them out by downtime.

Which Fotona Fractional alternative is right for you?
Patients who ask for Fotona Fractional by name want one of these; each has a device at Boom Dermatology in Busan. The consultation at our Seomyeon skin clinic is free when you proceed.
Texture, fine lines, dull surface
Non-ablative fractional with a few days of flaking.
Why Boom Dermatology does not carry Fotona Fractional
Three reasons our Busan skin clinic chose differently, stated without hype in either direction.
Non-ablative covers the light job
Moxi remodels texture and lifts pigment without ablating skin; the downtime is flaking, not open channels.
Less heat is also what pico and RF give
PicoHi Fraxel puts almost no heat into the skin; Potenza heats below the pigment layer; both suit Asian skin.
CO2 for the deep job
Where ablation is needed, CO2 fractional does it; a second ablative platform would duplicate the line.

Questions, answered properly
Er:YAG or CO2: which resurfacing laser should I have?
Neither until the goal is named. Fine lines, dull texture and upper-skin pigment: a non-ablative pass (Moxi) with flaking, not wounds. Pores and shallow scars: fractional pico or RF. Deep scars: CO2 fractional, the one ablative tool worth the week of healing. At Boom Dermatology the reading of your skin decides the tier, and most faces that ask for Er:YAG are served by the non-ablative one.
Why does less residual heat matter on Asian skin?
Heat left in the skin after a laser is what provokes post-inflammatory darkening in skin with more melanin. Er:YAG leaves less than CO2, which is its selling point; picosecond fractional leaves less again, and RF microneedling puts its heat below the pigment layer. Our Seomyeon skin clinic designs every texture plan around that risk.
How many days will I look treated?
Moxi: three to five days of fine flaking under make-up. PicoHi Fraxel: one to two days of pinkness. Potenza: one to three days of redness and pinpoint marks. CO2 fractional: a week or more. The calendar you give us decides the device as much as the skin does.
Can it improve pores, or only fine lines?
Pores respond best to fractional pico and RF microneedling, which tighten the pore wall; fine lines and surface texture respond to Moxi. A face with both gets both across a course at Boom Dermatology in Busan, often toning or Fraxel one visit and Moxi the next.
Is fractional gentler than full resurfacing, or only slower?
Gentler and faster to heal, because intact skin between the columns closes them within days; the result builds over a course of three rather than one big session. For most patients that is the right trade; for a single deep scar field, one CO2 session can do more.
