Aquapeel at JD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul is a superficial skin-cleansing and hydration treatment: suction and solution used together to lift debris from pores and leave the skin cleaner, smoother and better hydrated. It is gentle, takes around fifteen to twenty minutes, and has minimal downtime. The clinic's records describe it in two different ways, and since the two imply different sessions, different timings and different results, this page sets both out rather than quietly picking one.

JD Clinic's doctor mapping is recorded at the specialty level, so this page names the doctors who direct care for this treatment area rather than claiming that one named doctor personally carries out every individual session.

What Is Aquapeel?

The treatment most patients mean by this name is a superficial cleanse: gentle suction combined with solutions that loosen and remove surface debris while hydrating the skin.

• The patient-facing description in the clinic's records. A superficial skin-cleansing and hydration treatment for clogged pores, blackheads or whiteheads, excess sebum, dullness, uneven texture and surface dryness.

• The sensation. Generally gentle — suction, mild tingling or a cleansing feeling, with significant pain not normally expected. Anaesthesia is generally not required.

• The time. Commonly around fifteen to twenty minutes.

• Downtime. Minimal, with mild redness or sensitivity possible temporarily.

• Durability. Improvement from a single session is generally temporary; repeated treatments may give ongoing skin-conditioning benefit.
