Hydrafacial in Korea
Myeongdong Umi Skin Clinic
๐ง What a Hydrafacial Is
A Hydrafacial is a multi-step, non-invasive skin treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, hydrates, and infuses your skin with nourishing serums using a specialized device. It’s well-liked for giving an immediate glow with minimal irritation and downtime.
๐งโ๏ธ What Happens During a Hydrafacial
1. Deep Cleansing
Your skin is gently cleansed to remove surface dirt, oil, and makeup residue.
2. Exfoliation
A mild resurfacing step removes dead skin cells to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath.
3. Extraction
Using a gentle vacuum-like tool, built-up debris in pores (like blackheads and congestion) is loosened and removed without painful squeezing.
4. Hydration & Serum Infusion
Hydrating serums rich in antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid are infused into the skin to plump, soothe, and nourish.
5. Optional Boosters
You can choose targeted add-ons such as:
- Brightening boosters
- Anti-aging boosters
- Calming boosters for sensitive skin
- Oil-balancing boosters
These are selected based on your skin goals.
