Treatment Overview
Healing Resurface Essence is a gentle yet highly effective Korean skin resurfacing treatment that focuses on renewal and repair. Unlike aggressive resurfacing methods, this treatment combines fractional resurfacing techniques (CO₂ or Er:YAG lasers, or microneedling RF) with soothing, essence-infused serums such as centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, green tea, and peptides.
The result is smoother, brighter skin with reduced scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation, while minimizing irritation. Healing Resurface Essence is particularly suited for patients with sensitive or stressed skin who want the benefits of resurfacing without the harsh downtime.
