Treatment Overview
Namu Herbal Peel is a natural herbal-based resurfacing treatment in Korea, inspired by the Korean word “Namu” meaning “tree” and symbolizing renewal and balance. Unlike synthetic acid-heavy peels, this peel uses botanical extracts, micro-herbs, enzymes, and natural acids derived from plants to gently exfoliate, detoxify, and rejuvenate the skin.
It is often called a “green peel” in Korea and is particularly popular for those seeking organic skin renewal without relying solely on chemical actives. Namu Herbal Peel stimulates blood circulation, speeds up skin turnover, and leaves the complexion smooth, radiant, and refreshed with minimal irritation.
