Treatment Process in Korea
Korean MedSpas are known for highly customized treatments, precision techniques, and advanced technology. The typical Oil Control Deep Facial process includes:
- Consultation & Skin Assessment: Specialists examine skin type, oil production levels, acne-prone areas, and overall complexion to develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Cleansing: Skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt, makeup, and excess sebum.
- Exfoliation: Gentle chemical exfoliants or microdermabrasion may be used to remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for extractions.
- Extractions: Carefully performed manual or device-assisted extractions remove blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores.
- Oil Control Serum Infusion: Specialized serums containing ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid, and tea tree extracts are infused to regulate sebum production and prevent future breakouts.
- Hydration & Soothing Mask: A calming mask is applied to reduce redness, provide hydration, and balance oil levels.
- Moisturization & Sun Protection: The facial concludes with moisturizer and SPF to protect the skin and maintain results.
Some advanced clinics incorporate LED light therapy, ultrasonic waves, or oxygen infusion to further control acne, improve skin clarity, and stimulate collagen production. Sessions usually last 60–75 minutes, depending on skin condition and treatment complexity.
