HydraFacial in Seoul — exfoliate, deep-cleanse and infuse in 3 steps, 30 minutes, at a Black Diamond Center
From exfoliation and impurity removal to hydration — a non-invasive booster treatment for every skin type
Overview
HydraFacial in Seoul is the treatment for skin that feels dry yet oily, rough, congested or dull: a patented vacuum technology — approved by the FDA, CE and KFDA — gently removes dead skin cells, impurities and sebum while infusing serums chosen for your skin, in a 3-step sequence of gentle exfoliation, deep cleansing and nutrient infusion. No lasers, no injections, and it suits oily, dry and sensitive skin alike.
VOS Dermatology in Gangnam is a designated HydraFacial Black Diamond Center — one of a select few clinics in Korea — and its dedicated staff, including the medical director, completed the specialized training at the U.S. headquarters. A session takes about 30 minutes with no anesthesia and no downtime; results vary from person to person.

What HydraFacial does in the skin
01Healthier Skin in 3 Steps, 30 Minutes
HydraFacial is a skincare treatment that strengthens the skin barrier and improves skin tone through gentle exfoliation, deep cleansing, and nutrient delivery, without lasers or injections. The foundation of healthy skin is the balance between oil and moisture. It all starts with cleansing – how well you clean your skin’s foundation. Using specially designed vacuum technology approved by FDA, CE, and KFDA for proven safety, it gently removes dead skin cells, impurities, and sebum while simultaneously infusing appropriate serums based on skin condition for instant hydration and vitality. Safe for all skin types, it creates clear and bright skin in a short time.

About Dr. Hongseok Kim
Dr. Kim performs your HydraFacial himself — from the first skin analysis to the follow-up check.
Dr. Kim focuses on aesthetic dermatology — skin regeneration, facial contour and healthy aging — and builds each plan from a close look at the individual patient's skin and goals, aiming for natural, refined results.
At VOS the same specialist is responsible for the whole course of care: diagnosis, the procedure itself and follow-up. An accurate reading of skin structure and how it changes is what makes results more complete and keeps the risk of side effects low.
