HydraFacial in Gangnam: What One Session Does for Pores, Glow and Dryness

October 19, 2026
HydraFacial at YAAN Clinic Gangnam, Seoul

Quick answer: A HydraFacial cleanses, gently exfoliates, extracts congestion from pores and infuses hydrating serums in one session. Most people leave with cleaner-looking pores and an immediate glow, with no downtime. It is a maintenance treatment rather than a long-term fix for scars or laxity. At YAAN Clinic, a HydraFacial session is ₩350,000.

HydraFacial is a popular "first treatment" for visitors to Seoul because it is comfortable and makes skin look better the same day. Here is what to realistically expect.

What happens during a HydraFacial?

  • Cleanse and exfoliate: removes dead skin cells
  • Gentle peel step: loosens debris in pores
  • Extraction: vortex suction clears congestion
  • Hydrate: serums are infused into the skin

Who benefits most?

  • Dull, dehydrated skin after travel or flights
  • Congested pores and blackheads
  • Before events or photos
  • Anyone wanting a no-downtime refresh

How long do results last?

The glow is most visible for several days. For ongoing pore and texture improvement, many people repeat it every few weeks or combine it with other treatments.

What can it be combined with?

The YAAN HydraFacial package adds LDM (ultrasound-based hydration) and LED, or a V laser and LED for redness. For deeper concerns, consider Potenza for pores or pico toning for pigmentation.
