Many people immediately think of ultrasound, radiofrequency, or fillers when they think about cosmetic treatments. But in Korea, more people actually start with “skin care” before moving on to more intensive treatments.
So-called “skin care” isn’t just a single treatment; rather, it’s a combination of cleansing, repairing, moisturizing, soothing, and promoting metabolism based on the current condition of the skin.
Common components of this approach include:
- Deep cleansing and exfoliation
- Basic restorative treatments
- Soothing treatments for redness, dryness, or early signs of acne
Its biggest advantage is that it doesn’t aim for immediate dramatic results but instead focuses on gradually stabilizing the skin’s condition.
If you fall into any of the following categories, this approach is especially suitable for you:
- Those who have never tried cosmetic treatments but want to improve their skin
- People with sensitive or easily reddened skin
- Those who don’t want a recovery period or visible signs of treatment
In Korea, skin care is more like an “upgraded version of daily skincare” and is often the first step recommended by doctors before more intensive treatments.
What does Korean “skin care” actually do? It’s especially suitable for those trying cosmetic treatments for the first time.
