Hydrafacial in Korea

Myeongdong Umi Skin Clinic


๐Ÿ’ง 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.

๐Ÿง–‍โ™€๏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.
