Treatment Overview
The Aqua Peel Facial in Korea is one of the most popular MedSpa facial treatments designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin. It combines gentle chemical exfoliation with aqua-based extraction and hydration, making it suitable for sensitive, acne-prone, or dull skin. Unlike traditional facials, the Aqua Peel Facial uses advanced water jet and suction technology to remove dead skin cells, excess sebum, and impurities from clogged pores while infusing nourishing serums that restore balance and radiance.
Korea is globally recognized as a hub for advanced skincare technology and non-invasive treatments. Clinics in Seoul and other cities are equipped with cutting-edge MedSpa devices and tailor each Aqua Peel session to the patient’s skin condition, ensuring maximum safety, effectiveness, and comfort. This treatment is often chosen by international patients seeking a refreshed complexion without downtime.

The Aqua Peel Facial provides numerous skin benefits, including:
- Deep Pore Cleansing: Gently removes blackheads, whiteheads, and excess oil.
- Skin Exfoliation: Clears away dead cells to promote fresh, smooth skin.
