Treatment Overview
The Hanok Healing Cryo Facial uses sub-zero cryo technology to shrink pores, stimulate collagen, and improve circulation. During the session, customized herbal serums—often infused with ingredients like green tea, ginseng, or licorice root—are applied and sealed into the skin using cold therapy. The serene hanok setting enhances the experience, making it as much about healing the mind and body as it is about skin rejuvenation.
