Quick answer
What is a med spa, and how is it different in Korea?
A med spa(medical spa) combines relaxing, spa-style skin care with treatments that need medical oversight, such as lasers, skin boosters and injectables. In Korea these treatments are performed in doctor-led clinics, so a medical assessment comes first.
At Umi Clinic in Myeongdong, Seoul, that means calm treatment rooms, medical facials and boosters, and a doctor who checks your skin before any device or injection. Browse our facials for the most spa-like options.
