Two Things to Check If You Want the Full Effect of Hongdae Aqua Peel

Hello, I’m Dr. Jo Won-jin.

I have been treating patients in Hapjeong-dong for nine years and have met countless people during that time.

People who come into the clinic often ask questions like these.

Can I get an Aqua Peel that’s on special for 10,000 to 20,000 won?

Why does the effect of Aqua Peel differ from one hospital to another?

If you’re reading this, you may have had similar thoughts.

You may even have wondered, “Am I just throwing my money away?”

So today, I want to honestly talk about the two things you should check if you want to get the full effect of Hongdae Aqua Peel, along with the “secret behind the cost.”

If you know just this much, you can avoid the experience of getting Aqua Peel and thinking it was a waste of money.

1. Are any “essential steps” omitted?

90% of ineffective Aqua Peels either skip the core steps or drastically shorten the time.

Hongdae Aqua Peel ads in the 10,000 to 20,000 won range are honestly tempting.

But the common point among people who came to me after getting a low-cost treatment and not feeling any effect was always the same.

The treatment time and steps were absurdly short.

In cases where there is no effect, it’s not so much that each step is skipped as that the entire process is rushed through.

Aqua Peel is originally a treatment that uses a three-step solution to clean pores and replenish moisture.

• Step 1 (AHA): dissolves old dead skin cells,

• Step 2 (BHA): removes blackheads and sebum from inside the pores,

• Step 3 (moisture/nutrition): fills the cleaned pores.

However, when it is done at a very low price, it is realistically difficult to carry out every step carefully and thoroughly.

In particular, the first and second steps, which need to dissolve dead skin cells and sebum, are often finished too quickly.

This is like wiping an oily frying pan with detergent without soaking it in hot water first.

It may look as if it has been cleaned, but the grease will still remain.

Only when you take enough time to properly dissolve and remove dead skin cells and sebum with genuine solution can you see the full effect.

2. Is the process carried out “according to my skin”?

Everyone has a different skin type, so if the same procedure is used without regard for that, it may have no effect or may simply irritate the skin.

“It’s done with a machine, so isn’t it all the same?”

If Aqua Peel were really a treatment that ended with just rubbing a machine over the skin, I wouldn’t explain it this length.

But the outcome of Aqua Peel is a treatment that depends much more on the hands of the person performing it.

In fact, one person who came to see me had severe blackheads on the nose but very sensitive skin on the cheeks.

What happens if a machine is used with the same pressure and the same amount of time on someone like this?

The sebum in the nose won’t be fully removed, and only the already fine cheeks will turn red and become irritated.

A properly done Hongdae Aqua Peel should have the entire before-and-after process designed as one care program just for my skin.

So you also need to look at the following parts carefully.

Before the procedure:

Check whether there is a “sebum softening” process that makes hardened sebum softer.

And depending on the case, large sebum plugs may be prepared in advance through extraction.

Only through this process can waste inside the pores be gently removed without putting excessive strain on the skin.

After the procedure:

Cleaned pores should not be left as they are.

It should end with a regenerative laser that helps the skin recover or a soothing “modeling pack.”

This also inevitably causes some irritation to the skin, so it needs to be calmed in order to recover properly.

Most of the people who said their skin became sensitive and reactive after the treatment had usually not received this aftercare.

This is why we perform Aqua Peel in a total of seven steps.

Aqua Peel 7 steps
First and second cleansing → extraction and sebum softening → AHA dead skin care → BHA sebum care → moisture penetration → regenerative laser → modeling pack

If the treatment is not carried out in a way that is tailored to the individual, including both pre-care and post-care, you won’t see the desired effect and may only damage the skin.

Aqua Peel is not simply a process of removing sebum.

To suit my skin condition, [cleansing + sebum softening] → [Aqua Peel] → [soothing + regenerative care]

Checking whether this overall flow is all included is the way to get proper results.

Final advice for making a choice without regret

By now, you should clearly understand why Hongdae Aqua Peel prices differ and what you need to look at to get the full effect.

• Is the core three-step process (dead skin removal, sebum cleaning, moisture supply) carried out in the standard way?

• Are “sebum softening” and “regenerative laser and soothing care” included before and after the procedure?

If you remember just these two things, at the very least you won’t end up thinking, “This was a failure.”

The conclusion I’ve reached after seeing the skin of countless people in Hapjeong-dong for nine years is one thing.

Proper treatment never betrays the customer.

I hope today’s post becomes a helpful reference point for anyone considering Hongdae Aqua Peel.

It’s okay even if you don’t choose our clinic, but please make sure to check these two things before your treatment.

I will answer carefully myself.
