Treatment Overview
Glow Hanbang Therapy is a premium Korean skin rejuvenation program rooted in Hanbang—traditional Korean herbal medicine—combined with modern dermatology. Instead of using only machines or chemical peels, this therapy nourishes the skin from within using herbal infusions, acupuncture-inspired massage, and herbal mask packs enriched with ginseng, licorice root, green tea, and other medicinal plants.
By balancing the skin’s “qi” (energy) and improving circulation, Glow Hanbang Therapy reduces inflammation, detoxifies, and restores natural radiance. In Korea, dermatology clinics often enhance this therapy with LED light, herbal steam, and nanoneedling infusions, creating a unique fusion of traditional medicine and advanced beauty science.
