Quick answer
What is a sensitive skin soothing facial?
A sensitive skin soothing facial is a low-irritation clinical facial for reactive, red or stinging skin. Instead of scrubs and strong acids, it uses mild cleansing, cooling and calming ingredients such as panthenol, centella and hyaluronic acid to settle inflammation and help the skin barrier recover.
Many visitors to Seoul book it when travel, dry cabin air or new products have left skin flushed and tight. It can be paired with gentle LED light therapy for extra calming.

FAQ
Soothing facial questions
Can I have this facial if I have rosacea?
Often yes, as it avoids heat, steam and scrubs. The doctor first checks your skin and may suggest a rosacea treatment plan alongside it.
Will it make my skin red?
It is designed not to. Products are fragrance-free and techniques are gentle; any slight pinkness usually fades within an hour.
Can I combine it with laser treatment?
Yes. It is often booked after lasers or peels to calm the skin, or on its own between treatments.
How often should I come?
For very reactive skin, 3–5 sessions about 1–2 weeks apart, then as needed.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
