Aqua Peel in Seongsu, Seoul
Three-step cleansing for sebum, dead skin, blackheads and early breakouts
The Aqua peel is one of the simplest ways to give your skin a clean reset. At Seongsu Melting Clinic in Seongsu, Seoul, it is a three-step treatment for oily, congested, or dull skin, done in a private one-person skincare room.
What is an Aqua peel?
An Aqua peel uses water-based solutions and gentle suction to clean out pores and remove dead skin from the surface. Rather than scrubbing or squeezing, it softens buildup and lifts it away. Because it is gentle, it suits most skin types and is often used as a regular maintenance treatment.
It targets four common issues: excess sebum, dead skin cell buildup, blackheads, and early acne that starts with clogged pores. It is a cleansing and exfoliating treatment, not a lifting or collagen treatment, and it works well as part of an ongoing routine.
How we approach the Aqua peel at Seongsu Melting Clinic
The clinic's Aqua peel follows three steps:
- Soften: a solution loosens dead skin and softens sebum in the pores
- Extract: gentle suction lifts out sebum, blackheads, and debris
- Hydrate: the skin is refreshed and hydrated to finish
The Aqua peel is often used on its own, but it also pairs well with other treatments. It can prepare the skin before a water-glow booster, follow a Black peel for oily skin, or come before O2derm oxygen therapy to calm the skin afterward. Dr. Park checks your skin first and suggests the combination that makes sense.
A good fit if…
- Your skin is oily or combination and clogs easily
- You have blackheads or rough texture
- You have early, mild breakouts
- You want a quick refresh with no real downtime
Consider something else if…
- You have severe inflamed acne, which needs medical treatment first
- You have an active infection, cold sores, or broken skin
- You recently had an aggressive peel or laser and your skin is still healing
- You are looking for lifting or wrinkle reduction
What to expect
After a short skin check, you are taken to a private skincare room. The Aqua peel feels like cool liquid and light suction moving across the skin, and most patients find it relaxing.
Skin may look slightly pink for a short while and then settle. Most people go straight back to their day. Because pores refill naturally, regular sessions tend to keep skin clearer than one-off treatments. Pricing is explained at consultation.
Aftercare
- Keep makeup light for the rest of the day
- Use a gentle cleanser and non-comedogenic moisturizer
- Wear sunscreen daily
- Avoid picking or squeezing pores at home
- Stay hydrated and keep your routine simple for a day
A note from Dr. Park
Dr. Park often tells patients that comfort is part of care, which is why skincare at the clinic happens in private one-person rooms, with care, laser, and procedure areas kept separate. He prefers to explain what you will feel before each step, so even a simple Aqua peel feels unhurried.
