Straight answer
Do you have Pearl Fractional in Busan?
No.
Pearl Fractional (Cutera) is a 2790 nm YSGG fractional laser, ablative but with more coagulation than Er:YAG, pitched as a single-session resurfacing for sun damage, fine lines and scars with about a week of healing. At Boom Dermatology the territory it covers is split between Moxi, non-ablative and three to five days, for sun damage and texture, ₩770,000; Potenza
RF microneedling for scars and pores, ₩440,000; and CO2 fractional, the ablative session for deep scars, priced at consultation. Between them they cover sun damage, fine lines and scars without a fourth platform. The resurfacing page
sets them out by depth and downtime.

Which Pearl Fractional alternative is right for you?
Patients who ask for Pearl 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 Pearl Fractional
Three reasons our Busan skin clinic chose differently, stated without hype in either direction.
Sun damage goes non-ablative
Moxi clears upper-skin pigment and renews texture with flaking rather than open healing; for most sun-damaged faces that is enough.
Scars go to RF and deep remodelling
Potenza and Scorpio treat scars from below without ablating the surface, which suits Asian skin.
CO2 covers the ablative case
One ablative platform for deep scars is enough; a second mid-depth ablative laser would duplicate it.

Questions, answered properly
Why would a clinic need a third resurfacing laser?
It does not, which is the answer to the question. Pearl was built to sit between Er:YAG and CO2; at Boom Dermatology the non-ablative tier (Moxi), the RF tier (Potenza, Scorpio) and the ablative tier (CO2 fractional) cover every depth a resurfacing plan needs, and the reading of your skin picks the tier.
What does 2790 nm do that other wavelengths cannot?
It ablates with more residual heat than Er:YAG and less than CO2, a middle setting. The same middle is reached here by choosing Moxi at a higher level or Potenza at a shallower depth, with the advantage that neither opens the surface. On Asian skin that advantage is the one that counts at our Seomyeon skin clinic.
Is it the right tool for sun damage specifically?
Sun damage is pigment and texture in the upper skin, which is exactly what Moxi treats, with BBL Hero added when the damage is red as well as brown. A week of ablative healing is more than most sun-damaged faces need.
How does healing compare with CO2?
Pearl heals in about a week against CO2's week to ten days; Moxi in three to five days; Potenza in one to three. The calendar you give Boom Dermatology in Busan decides as much as the skin does.
Can it treat scars, or only texture?
Scars are treated best from below, with Potenza and Scorpio, and ablatively with CO2 fractional when they are deep. A mid-depth ablative pass is the least efficient of the three for a pitted scar, and we say so.
