Treatment Process in Korea
Korean clinics are renowned for their precision, safety, and innovative techniques in performing Lymphatic Detox Facials. The treatment process typically involves:
- Consultation & Skin Analysis: Specialists assess the patient’s facial structure, skin condition, and lymphatic flow to create a personalized treatment plan.
- Double Cleansing: Removes makeup, impurities, and excess oils to prepare the skin for detoxification.
- Exfoliation (Optional): Gentle exfoliation using Korean serums or mild chemical peels enhances lymphatic drainage.
- Lymphatic Massage & Drainage: Skilled therapists use manual techniques or specialized tools to stimulate lymph nodes, reduce puffiness, and improve fluid circulation.
- Serum & Nutrient Infusion: High-quality Korean serums are infused into the skin to enhance hydration, radiance, and detoxification.
- Soothing Mask Application: A calming mask restores moisture, minimizes irritation, and supports lymphatic flow.
- Moisturization & Sun Protection: The facial concludes with a barrier-repairing moisturizer and SPF to protect and nourish the skin.
The procedure typically lasts 60–90 minutes depending on the complexity and additional therapies used. Advanced Korean techniques may include ultrasonic lymphatic stimulation, LED therapy, or microcurrent devices to enhance results and precision.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Downtime: Minimal; most patients can resume daily activities immediately.
- Aftercare Recommendations:
- Avoid heavy facial massage or harsh exfoliation for 24–48 hours.
- Keep the skin hydrated using light moisturizers.
- Apply sunscreen daily to protect rejuvenated skin.
- Maintain healthy hydration to support lymphatic function.

- Immediate Effects: Reduced puffiness, refreshed skin, and improved facial contours.
- Short-Term Benefits: Brighter complexion, smoother texture, and enhanced hydration.
