Calm treatment room prepared for a gold infusion facial at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **1 session** Luminous glow the same day

Quick answer

What is a gold infusion facial?

A gold infusion facial is a radiance-focused hydrating facial that combines serums containing colloidal gold or gold-leaf with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants, often delivered with ultrasound or galvanic infusion and finished with a gold sheet mask. The aim is an immediate, luminous glow and calmer-looking skin.

Evidence that gold itself changes skin long term is limited, so the visible effect comes mainly from deep hydration and soothing care. It is a popular pre-event treat in Seoul, and pairs well with an oxygen facial or LED.

FAQ

Gold Infusion Facial questions

Does real gold go into the skin?

Products contain gold particles or gold leaf, but they mostly stay on the surface. The visible glow comes mainly from hydration, antioxidants and the soothing mask.

Is it good before an event?

Yes. With no downtime, booking 1–2 days before an event or photos is ideal.

Can people with sensitive skin have it?

Usually yes, unless you have a metal allergy. The doctor checks your skin and history first.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

It pairs well with LED, oxygen facials or after lasers once the skin has calmed.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
