Removing blackheads and whiteheads is a difficult task with just general skin care routine. Aqua peel easily removes blackheads and whiteheads through strong suction. The moisture penetrates deep inside the skin so aqua peel also keeps the skin moisturized and maintains the water-oil balance of the skin as well as improving skin tone and skin texture.

This procedure is recommended to any people with large amounts of sebum, who wants to take low-irritation peeling facial care, and for people who are worried about their blackheads.

The oxygen facial treatment is another common Korean facial that uses pressurized stream of oxygen to deliver an active set of ingredients directly into the skin. The key ingredient used is hyaluronic acid, which is already a naturally occurring molecule in our skin. This acid attracts and binds moisture to the skin during facial treatment, helping the skin become more firm, hydrated and glowing.

Vitamin facial is a procedure that applies vitamins to skin for improving skin health and tone. Normally, in general skin care products, vitamin C is not easily absorbed by the skin. Through vitamin facial therapy, vitamin can be easily absorbed by the skin with iontophoresis device.

The procedure starts with thorough cleaning of the face and application of highly concentrated vitamin c ampule. To promote the absorption of vitamin c, iontophoresis technique is used on the skin. After this, facial modeling pack is used to moisturize and refresh the skin.
