Treatment Overview
The Microdermabrasion Cleanse is an advanced, non-invasive facial treatment designed to exfoliate the skin, remove dead cells, unclog pores, and promote a smoother, radiant complexion. This procedure uses fine crystals or diamond-tipped wands combined with gentle suction to resurface the outer layer of the skin, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath.
In Korea, MedSpas are renowned for expertise, innovative technology, and precision in facial treatments. Clinics combine professional-grade microdermabrasion devices with high-quality serums and skincare techniques, offering customized treatment plans that target individual skin concerns. This ensures safe, effective results with minimal downtime, making Korea a top destination for microdermabrasion facials.

Treatment Process in Korea
Korean MedSpas are recognized for precision, advanced devices, and customized facial protocols. The Microdermabrasion Cleanse process generally includes:
- Consultation & Skin Assessment: Specialists evaluate skin type, problem areas, and desired outcomes to create a personalized treatment plan.
- Cleansing: Skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove surface oils, makeup, and environmental pollutants.
- Microdermabrasion Procedure: Using a diamond-tip wand or fine crystals, the outer layer of dead skin is gently exfoliated while suction removes impurities. This step unclogs pores, smooths texture, and stimulates circulation.
- Hydration & Nutrient Infusion: Following exfoliation, high-quality Korean serums rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and hyaluronic acid are infused to restore moisture, improve elasticity, and nourish the skin.
- Soothing Mask: A calming mask is applied to reduce redness, protect the skin barrier, and enhance hydration.
- Moisturization & Sun Protection: The procedure concludes with the application of moisturizer and SPF to maintain results and protect against UV damage.
Advanced clinics in Korea may integrate LED therapy, oxygen infusion, or ultrasonic technology to further boost results, improve collagen production, and enhance skin radiance. Each session typically lasts 60–75 minutes, depending on the complexity of the skin concerns.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Downtime: Minimal; most patients resume normal activities immediately.
- Aftercare Recommendations:
- Avoid harsh exfoliants, chemical peels, or direct sun exposure for a few days.
- Keep skin moisturized and hydrated.
- Follow up with gentle, doctor-recommended skincare products.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate Effects: Smoother, brighter, and clearer skin with reduced impurities.
- Short-Term Benefits: Improved texture, smaller appearance of pores, and a refreshed complexion.
- Long-Term Effects: Regular treatments promote collagen production, enhance skin tone, and reduce fine lines.
Results typically last 2–4 weeks, with follow-up sessions recommended every 3–4 weeks to maintain optimal skin health.
