Treatment Overview
Jeju Aqua Glow is a HydraFacial-inspired aqua peel treatment in Korea that draws inspiration from the pure mineral-rich waters and botanical extracts of Jeju Island. This therapy combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, pore purification, and hydration infusion with a customized Jeju Aqua serum blend, enriched with hyaluronic acid, green tea extract, volcanic minerals, and antioxidants.
Unlike traditional facials, Jeju Aqua Glow is gentle, refreshing, and nutrient-rich, making it one of Korea’s most popular treatments for achieving the natural, dewy “island glow” look that is both radiant and healthy.
