Aqua Peel

Aqua Peel is a gentle deep-cleansing facial that flows water-based acidic solutions across the skin while soft suction lifts away sebum inside the pores and dead skin on the surface. Because nothing is squeezed or scraped, it tends to be low in irritation, and the whole session takes only about 10–20 minutes with essentially no recovery time. Like rinsing a clogged drain: water floats the buildup loose, then a vacuum draws it away so the pores are gently cleared — nothing is scraped out.

1) A softening pad is placed on the skin for about 5 minutes to prepare the pore openings (it may feel cool). 2) Step 1 AHA solution is applied to the cheeks and outer face to refine dull dead skin; the nose and the creases beside it (the central zone, sometimes called the butterfly zone) are left for the next step, since the skin there is thinner and oilier and the milder BHA is used instead. 3) Step 2 BHA solution is then concentrated on the nose and surrounding area — where pores clog most — to dissolve and suction out sebum and debris. 4) The skin is wiped with a sponge and checked for any sensitive spots. 5) Step 3 hydrating solution is applied over the whole face in two passes. 6) A soothing peel-off (rubber) gel mask may be applied to finish (composition is explained at consultation). The whole process takes about 10–20 minutes; because solution flows out as the device suctions, mild coolness and slight tingling may be felt. The areas treated and the solution strength may be adjusted by the therapist based on the skin condition identified at assessment.

Many people notice that the pore openings and surface feel cleared and the skin feels smoother and fresher right after the session (this varies from person to person). With dead skin refined and moisture replenished, the skin texture can feel more even, and many find makeup goes on more smoothly afterward. The degree and duration of these results vary with each person's skin type, oil production and lifestyle, and a single session does not produce a fixed outcome. Because sebum and dead skin naturally build up again over time, this is a single-session treatment that benefits from periodic care tailored to the skin to help maintain a clean condition. Consistent at-home cleansing and moisturizing habits also help the freshly refined condition last longer, and the doctor can advise on a home-care direction suited to the skin at consultation, including an appropriate interval.

If there is an active skin infection, an open wound, severe inflammation, or skin irritation in the treatment area, it is recommended to avoid that area or to treat after the skin has fully recovered. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking or have recently taken an oral retinoid such as isotretinoin, please inform the medical team before treatment; eligibility is judged according to the skin condition. If you have sensitive skin or have recently had a peel, laser, or other procedure that irritates the skin, treatment also proceeds after the skin's recovery has been confirmed. If you have experienced an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction to acids such as AHA or BHA or to any ingredient used in the treatment, please inform the medical team in advance. During treatment, the acid ingredients or the suction process may cause temporary irritation such as stinging, itching, tightness, or redness; if the discomfort is severe, please tell the medical team immediately. Adequate moisturizing and sun protection are recommended after treatment, and on the day of treatment it is best to avoid activities that can increase skin irritation, such as scrubs, strong exfoliation, saunas, and hot compresses. If redness, pain, swelling, blisters, or similar symptoms persist or worsen, medical assessment is recommended.
