From Aqua Peel to IBPS Booster — Korean clinic-grade skin management programs.

Hydro Dermabrasion
Aqua Peel — Deep Cleansing

Aqua Peel (아쿠아필 / Hydrafacial equivalent) uses a spiral suction tip combined with hydrating serums to simultaneously exfoliate, extract, and infuse the skin. The vortex action removes dead cells and impurities from pores while delivering antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.

Popular as a monthly maintenance treatment, Aqua Peel leaves skin instantly brighter, smoother, and deeply hydrated — with zero downtime. It's also the go-to prep treatment before more intensive procedures.

LHA · 4th Generation Peel
Lara Peel — Filling Peel, Not Stripping Peel

Lara Peel (라라필) is a 4th-generation peel based on LHA (Lipo-Hydroxy Acid) — a molecule originally developed by L'Oréal — combined with an alkaline component. Rather than physically stripping the stratum corneum like traditional AHA/BHA peels, LHA gently dissolves keratin proteins while its large lipophilic molecule allows slow, even penetration of active ingredients into the skin.

Branded in Korean clinics as a "filling peel" (채우는 필링) rather than a stripping peel, Lara Peel strengthens the skin barrier from within rather than thinning it — making it safe for repeated long-term use even on sensitive or thin skin. Benefits include barrier reinforcement, pore reduction, sebum normalization, acne improvement, and gradual brightening.

Activated Carbon · Pore Care
Black Peel — Pore Detox

Black Peel (블랙필) is a Korean-developed activated charcoal and carbon-based peel treatment that deeply detoxifies pores by adsorbing excess sebum, bacteria, and debris. The treatment often uses a carbon-based lotion applied to the skin, which is then targeted by Q-switched laser (Carbon Laser Facial) or removed mechanically.

The intense adsorption power of activated carbon draws out impurities while the laser/peel step destroys sebaceous gland bacteria — making Black Peel particularly effective for acne-prone skin and blackhead-heavy T-zones.

Multi-Active Booster
IBPS Booster Peel — Intensive Booster System

IBPS (Intensive Booster Peel System) is an advanced Korean multi-step treatment combining superficial peeling with immediate high-concentration active infusion. The peel phase creates microchannels in the stratum corneum, followed by infusion of growth factors, PDRN, exosomes, or peptide complexes.

This "peel + boost" concept dramatically increases active ingredient penetration compared to standalone peels or topical products. IBPS protocols are customized by the clinic based on individual skin concerns — available in brightening, anti-aging, acne, and hydration variants.
