What Is Fraxel Laser Treatment and How Does It Work in Myeongdong Seoul?
Fraxel laser treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses Pico Fraxel fractional technology to create thousands of microscopic treatment zones per session, stimulating 40-60% collagen renewal and improving acne scars, pores, and texture over 3-6 sessions, with combination packages starting from ₩1,090,000.
Fraxel laser treatment in Myeongdong Seoul has become one of the most sought-after skin resurfacing procedures for both Korean residents and international visitors seeking visible improvement in acne scars, enlarged pores, and photodamage. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, our Pico Fraxel system delivers fractional laser energy in picosecond pulses, creating microscopic columns of treated tissue surrounded by healthy skin that serves as a reservoir for rapid healing. This fractional approach means only 15-25% of the skin surface is treated per session, dramatically reducing downtime compared to fully ablative lasers while still delivering powerful collagen remodeling. Head Director Seung-Jae Baek customizes each fraxel laser session based on scar depth, skin type, and treatment goals, often combining Pico Fraxel with subcision for deep rolling and boxcar scars or pairing it with Potenza RF microneedling for enhanced dermal remodeling. For patients seeking comprehensive texture improvement, the Subcision + Juvelook + Pico Fraxel + Cryotherapy package at ₩1,090,000 addresses multiple scar types in a single visit. The Rejuran Healer can also be paired with fraxel laser treatment for accelerated wound healing and enhanced skin regeneration at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.

How Fraxel Laser Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A 4-step fractional laser protocol combining precision resurfacing with advanced regenerative treatments for optimal skin renewal.
Skin Analysis & Fraxel Laser Treatment Planning
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek performs a comprehensive skin analysis under high-magnification imaging to map acne scar types (ice pick, boxcar, rolling), measure pore density, and assess pigmentation irregularities. Based on this evaluation, he determines the optimal fraxel laser parameters including energy density, spot coverage percentage, and pulse duration. Patients with deep scars may be recommended the combination Subcision + Pico Fraxel package, while those with primarily textural concerns may benefit from fraxel laser combined with skin booster treatments. The consultation takes 15-20 minutes and is available in 8 languages.
Topical Anesthesia & Skin Preparation
A topical numbing cream (lidocaine 4%) is applied to the treatment area for 30-40 minutes before the fraxel laser session. During this preparation phase, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oils, makeup, and debris that could interfere with laser penetration. For patients receiving the combination package, subcision of deep scars is performed under local anesthesia before the fraxel laser phase begins. This preparation ensures maximum comfort throughout the 30-45 minute treatment session at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Pico Fraxel Fractional Laser Resurfacing
The Pico Fraxel system delivers fractional laser energy through a specialized diffractive lens array, creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones (MTZs) per square centimeter. Each MTZ measures 100-300 micrometers in diameter and penetrates 200-800 micrometers deep, triggering a controlled wound-healing response that replaces damaged collagen with new, organized fibers. The picosecond pulse duration minimizes thermal damage to surrounding tissue, producing the laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) effect that stimulates fibroblast proliferation without the prolonged downtime of traditional fraxel laser devices. Dr. Baek adjusts energy settings across different facial zones, using higher density on scarred areas and gentler parameters on thinner periorbital skin. For the full combination package, Juvelook skin booster is infused through the freshly created microchannels to amplify collagen synthesis.
Post-Treatment Recovery & Cryotherapy
Immediately after fraxel laser treatment, cryotherapy is applied to calm inflammation, reduce erythema, and accelerate healing. The rapid cooling constricts dilated blood vessels and soothes the treated skin surface. A regenerative barrier cream with growth factors is applied to protect the newly created microchannels, followed by broad-spectrum SPF 50. Your aftercare coordinator provides written instructions in your language covering the 48-72 hour recovery protocol: avoid direct sun, hot showers, and active skincare ingredients. Follow-up fraxel laser sessions at RE:BERRY Myeongdong are typically scheduled 3-4 weeks apart for optimal collagen remodeling.
What to Expect from Fraxel Laser Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
- Fractional Precision: Only 15-25% of skin treated per session, leaving healthy tissue for rapid 3-5 day healing versus 7-14 days for ablative lasers.
- Deep Collagen Remodeling: Picosecond LIOB stimulates 40-60% new collagen production over 3-6 months, progressively smoothing scars and wrinkles.
- Multi-Indication Treatment: Fraxel laser addresses acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, sun damage, and melasma in a single protocol.
- Safe for Asian Skin: Picosecond pulse duration reduces PIH risk for Fitzpatrick types III-V, making fraxel laser treatment safer for Asian skin tones.
- Combination Synergy: Microchannels created by fraxel laser enhance absorption of Juvelook, exosomes, and other regenerative agents by 300-500%.

The Science Behind Fraxel Laser Treatment
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting fractional laser resurfacing protocols used at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Fractional Photothermolysis for Skin Resurfacing
Fractional photothermolysis is the foundational principle behind fraxel laser treatment. Rather than treating the entire skin surface, the laser creates an array of microscopic thermal zones (MTZs) surrounded by untreated tissue. Each MTZ triggers a controlled wound-healing cascade: immediate coagulation of damaged collagen, followed by keratinocyte migration from surrounding healthy tissue, then fibroblast-driven neo-collagenesis over 3-6 months. This fractional approach achieves clinical efficacy comparable to fully ablative resurfacing while reducing healing time by 60-70% and dramatically lowering the risk of scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, making fraxel laser treatment particularly suitable for Asian skin types.
Manstein D et al. Fractional photothermolysis: a new concept for cutaneous remodeling using microscopic patterns of thermal injury. Lasers Surg Med. 2004;34(5):426-438. doi:10.1002/lsm.20048
Picosecond Fractional Laser vs Nanosecond for Acne Scars
The evolution from nanosecond to picosecond pulse durations in fractional laser technology represents a significant advancement for acne scar treatment. Picosecond pulses generate laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) rather than purely photothermal damage, creating vacuolization in the dermal-epidermal junction that stimulates collagen remodeling with minimal thermal collateral damage. Clinical trials comparing picosecond fraxel laser treatment to traditional fractional CO2 laser show comparable scar improvement (40-60% vs 50-70% at 6 months) with significantly less downtime (3-5 days vs 7-14 days) and 75% lower incidence of PIH in Fitzpatrick III-V patients.

Combination Fraxel Laser and Subcision for Atrophic Scars
Deep atrophic acne scars present a particular challenge because fibrous tethering anchors the skin surface downward while the dermis lacks sufficient collagen volume. Subcision mechanically releases these fibrous bands, allowing the depressed scar to elevate, while concurrent fraxel laser treatment stimulates new collagen deposition within the released space. Studies demonstrate that combination subcision plus fractional laser achieves 60-75% improvement in atrophic scar severity versus 35-45% with fractional laser alone, with the most dramatic improvements seen in rolling and boxcar scars. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, this combination protocol is enhanced with Juvelook collagen stimulator injection into the subcised space for volumetric support.

Long-term follow-up studies confirm that collagen remodeling initiated by fraxel laser treatment continues for 6-12 months post-treatment, with new type I and type III collagen deposition progressively improving skin texture and scar appearance. The fractional approach maintains the structural integrity of the dermal matrix while introducing controlled regeneration points that expand over time.

What Patients Say About Fraxel Laser Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I had deep boxcar acne scars on both cheeks for over 8 years. After 4 sessions of the Subcision + Pico Fraxel package, my scars improved by about 60%. Dr. Baek explained every step in English and the recovery was much easier than the CO2 laser I tried back home.”
“The 6-session pore program alternating Potenza and Pico Fraxel completely changed my skin texture. My pores look 50% smaller and my foundation applies so much smoother. The clinic is super convenient from Myeongdong Station.”
“I was worried about PIH on my dark Asian skin, but the Pico Fraxel caused zero hyperpigmentation. The cryotherapy right after treatment really helped with redness. I was back to normal activities in 3 days.”
