Treatment Overview
Chok-Chok Peel Renewal is a gentle Korean chemical peel treatment that focuses on achieving the hydrated, dewy “chok-chok” glow—a hallmark of K-beauty. This peel uses a carefully balanced blend of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), lactic acid, and brightening agents like vitamin C or arbutin, which exfoliate dead skin cells, clear pores, and infuse hydration.
Unlike aggressive Western-style peels, Chok-Chok Peel Renewal is hydration-focused, ensuring minimal irritation while restoring radiance, smooth texture, and plump, healthy-looking skin.

Treatment Process in Korea
Korea is world-famous for hydration-based skincare and has refined chemical peels into glow-enhancing treatments rather than aggressive exfoliations. Chok-Chok Peel Renewal exemplifies this approach, focusing on balance, hydration, and radiance.
Consultation & Skin Analysis
Dermatologists assess hydration, tone, and sensitivity with advanced imaging. A custom Chok-Chok peel blend is created.
Treatment Day
The peel solution is applied in layers, left briefly, then neutralized and followed with hydration serums. Session: 20–30 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care
LED therapy, cooling masks, or oxygen infusion are often added to enhance results. Patients can resume daily routines immediately, with light peeling expected.
