Treatment Overview
LumiAqua Radiance is a HydraFacial-inspired aqua peel treatment in Korea designed to deliver luminosity, hydration, and pore refinement for a glowing complexion. The LumiAqua system combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, pore extraction, and serum infusion with a customized blend of hyaluronic acid, brightening agents (like vitamin C and niacinamide), peptides, and antioxidants.
Unlike harsh peels, LumiAqua Radiance is gentle, non-invasive, and suitable for sensitive skin, making it one of Korea’s most popular choices for achieving the radiant, illuminated glow that defines K-beauty skincare.
