Who it's for

This is the package we suggest when you have never visited a Korean skin clinic and want to see what the fuss is about. It suits dull skin, dehydrated skin and mild uneven tone, and it fits easily into a short stay because there is almost nothing to recover from. If this is your first time, read what to expect at a Korean skin clinic.

What's included

Pico Toning: a gentle picosecond laser pass that breaks up fine pigment and brightens tone. It is the base of most Korean glow routines.
Hyaluronic Acid Skin Booster: tiny injections of non-crosslinked HA that draw water into the skin for the plump, dewy look often called water glow.
LDM Water Drop Lifting: dual-frequency ultrasound that calms redness after the laser and injections and helps the skin settle.

Order on the day

Consultation in English and a skin check with your doctor.
Cleansing, then Pico Toning for about 15–20 minutes.
Numbing cream for about 20–30 minutes.
The skin booster, injected across the face in 20–30 minutes.
LDM to soothe and finish.

Time needed and downtime

Plan on about 1.5–2 hours. Any pinkness from the laser fades within hours. The booster can leave small bumps for a day or two, so most people wear makeup again the next day. You can fly the next day. Your skin looks fresher within a few days, and the booster's hydration lasts about 1–3 months.

Customizing the package

Your doctor may adjust the plan to your skin. Common changes include swapping the HA booster for Rejuran Healer for more repair, adding Wrinkle Botox, or replacing injections with a Hydrafacial if you prefer no needles. Pico Toning works best as a series, so extra sessions can be added if you stay longer.

Good to know before you come

Arrive with clean skin if you can, and tell your doctor about retinoids, recent peels, a tan, isotretinoin, blood thinners, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Pico Toning is not done on freshly tanned skin, and the booster may be postponed if you have an active breakout or cold sore in the area. Bring sunscreen for afterward, because UV exposure after laser can undo the brightening. Our guide on preparing for your appointment has a full checklist.

Price

The First Glow Package starts from ₩199,000. Booked separately, the three treatments start from ₩227,000. Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation. See payment and tax for details, compare other packages, or book a consultation and your doctor will confirm the plan.

Is the First Glow Package good for a first visit?

Yes. It was designed for first-timers: the treatments are gentle, well established and have very little downtime, so you can see how a Korean clinic works without committing to anything intensive.

Does it hurt?

Pico Toning feels like light snapping on the skin. The booster injections are done after numbing cream, so most people describe a brief prickling rather than pain.

When can I wear makeup?

Most people wear makeup again the next morning, once the injection points have closed. Keep skincare gentle and use sunscreen.

How long does the glow last?

Hydration from the HA booster usually lasts about 1–3 months. Brightening from Pico Toning builds with each session, so results are subtle after one and clearer after a series.

Can I add Botox to the package?

Usually, yes. Wrinkle Botox can be added at the end of the visit, and your doctor will confirm the dose and price.
