Treatment Overview
Glass Skin Aqua Peel is a HydraFacial-inspired aqua peel treatment in Korea designed to achieve the signature K-beauty “glass skin” look—clear, smooth, radiant, and poreless. Using a multi-step aqua peel device, the treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin while infusing it with a customized serum blend of hyaluronic acid, peptides, brightening agents, and antioxidants.
Unlike traditional peels that can irritate, Glass Skin Aqua Peel is gentle and suitable for all skin types, making it one of the most sought-after procedures in Korea for those who want translucent, luminous skin with no downtime.
