Treatment Overview
AquaBloom Peel is a HydraFacial-inspired aqua peel treatment in Korea designed to deliver deep cleansing, hydration, and radiant glow. This non-invasive procedure uses a specialized device that performs a 3-step process—cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration infusion—with a customized AquaBloom serum containing antioxidants, peptides, and hydrating agents.
Unlike harsh chemical peels, AquaBloom Peel is gentle and suitable for sensitive skin, making it one of the most popular treatments in Korea for achieving the fresh, dewy K-beauty look with minimal downtime.
