Key points
Korean skincare in Geneva
Korean-inspired skincare is renowned worldwide for smooth, radiant and even skin, often associated with the idea of “perfect skin”. Multi-step home routines are widely known, but aesthetic medical treatments inspired by this approach are also increasingly popular for their effectiveness and gentleness.
Several aesthetic medical treatments now achieve skin as clear, luminous and even as Korean standards.
This page presents these inspired techniques in detail for hydrated, smooth skin without visible wrinkles and with noticeably greater radiance.
What does Korean skincare mean in aesthetic medicine ?
A treatment protocol reproduces this Korean skincare approach : the Korean Glass Skin Package.
It involves two sessions one month apart.
The first session includes :
• Skin analysis and cleansing.
• Hydrafacial.
• Fractional ablative laser and photorejuvenation.
• PRP.
• LED.
• Hydrating mask.
The second session includes :
• Sculptra.
• PRX-T33 peel.
Skin analysis
A thorough skin analysis is essential before treatment. The Skinscope analysis device is a valuable tool, revealing concerns often invisible to the naked eye, such as pigmentation spots, dehydrated areas, early wrinkles, photodamage and pore congestion. This precise assessment helps Dr Romano identify specific needs and personalise the protocol for each patient.
Skin cleansing
Specific products cleanse and purify the skin gently.
This removes impurities, sebum and dead cells that could obstruct pores and prevent effective absorption of Korean Glass protocol treatments.
Hydrafacial : deep cleansing for radiant skin
Hydrafacial, known as BB Shine treatment among Korean women, is an increasingly popular non-invasive procedure for radiant, thoroughly cleansed skin.
It includes mild mechanical exfoliation, vacuum extraction of impurities and comedones, then hydration through nourishing antioxidant-rich serums. It deeply cleanses pores while leaving skin soft and radiant.
Hydrafacial benefits include :
• Deep cleansing and exfoliation : effectively removes dead cells and impurities for clean, revitalised skin.
• Intense hydration : personalised serums deeply hydrate, leaving skin plump and radiant.
• A radiant complexion : from the first session, skin looks smoother, brighter and revitalised, with even tone and a natural glow.
A mesotherapy session is performed immediately afterwards.
Laser for perfect skin
In Korea, laser treatments are particularly popular for even, radiant skin.
The lasers most used in Korean skincare are :
• Photorejuvenation laser : stimulates collagen production in deep skin layers while preserving the surface.
• Fractional ablative laser, CO2 or erbium : smooths skin and reduces visible imperfections. It creates microscopic perforations to eliminate pigment and stimulate collagen synthesis.
Laser benefits for skin include :
• Improved quality : laser smooths skin and reduces scars, fine lines and other irregularities.
• Even tone : lasers treat pigmentation spots for an even, uniform complexion.
• Stimulation of collagen synthesis : increased collagen production firms skin and improves elasticity.
Skin becomes more even, smoother and free of imperfections. Laser treatment is essential for skin meeting Korean beauty standards.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) : cell regeneration and radiance
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a natural regeneration treatment using the patient's own plasma to stimulate collagen and elastin production, rejuvenating skin and improving quality.
PRP benefits include :
• Cell regeneration : stimulates renewal and collagen production, helping tissue repair and rejuvenation.
• A radiant complexion : skin regains natural radiance, appearing younger, smoother and more even.
• Improved skin quality : PRP smooths skin, softens fine lines and improves elasticity.
LED therapy : soothing and revitalising the skin
LED therapy improves skin radiance and health.
It uses low-intensity light, generally red, blue or green, according to individual needs.
Benefits include :
• Stimulation of collagen synthesis : red light stimulates collagen production, improving elasticity and firmness.
• Reduced acne : blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation and blemishes.
• A radiant complexion : LED improves clarity and evenness, leaving skin soothed and luminous.
Face mask
At the end of the procedure, a soothing, hydrating mask completes treatment by delivering intensive nutrients. Often rich in calming ingredients such as aloe vera, antioxidants or hyaluronic acid, it adds hydration and reduces redness. It creates a protective barrier, leaving skin soft, radiant and visibly soothed.
Sculptra injections : firming and increasing skin density
Sculptra provides lasting improvements in skin quality. It stimulates collagen synthesis, restoring density and gradually improving appearance.
How does Sculptra work ? Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible product that stimulates collagen production when injected into the skin. Unlike hyaluronic acid injections providing immediate results, Sculptra works gradually for natural rejuvenation and progressive densification.
Sculptra benefits include :
• Skin firming : Sculptra redensifies and improves elasticity.
• Gradual improvement : results appear after several sessions for a natural, lasting effect.
• Plumped skin : new collagen production plumps skin, making it look younger and firmer.
PRX-T33 peel : radiant, renewed skin
The PRX-T33 peel is an essential treatment for perfect skin resembling Korean women's skin. This non-abrasive peel works deeply to stimulate regeneration while preserving the epidermis, meaning no visible peeling.
It improves firmness and elasticity while providing immediate, lasting radiance, essential for the luminous, even appearance characteristic of ideal Korean skin.
PRX-T33 peel benefits include :
• Immediate glow : skin is immediately brighter, smoother and more radiant after treatment.
• Skin firming : PRX-T33 stimulates collagen synthesis and improves tone.
• Fewer imperfections : pigmentation and other irregularities visibly diminish.
• No recovery time : unlike conventional chemical peels, PRX-T33 requires no social downtime because there is no visible peeling.

What are Korean women's secrets for perfect skin ?
Korean women favour preventative, regular care focusing on hydration, gentleness and sun protection. They choose gentle, natural products suited to their skin type and perform facial massages to stimulate circulation. Daily sunscreen, even in winter, is a cornerstone of their routine.
What are the essential steps in a Korean skincare routine ?
A Korean routine generally has 10 key steps :
• Oil cleansing to dissolve impurities.
• Water-based cleansing to remove residue.
• Exfoliation (1 to 2 times weekly) to smooth skin.
• Toner to rebalance pH.
• Lightweight hydrating skincare.
• Targeted serum according to skin needs.
• Sheet mask (2 to 3 times weekly) for intense hydration.
• Eye contour cream.
• Moisturiser.
• Morning sun protection, essential to prevent ageing.
How often should a Korean skincare routine be followed ?
The daily routine includes cleansing, toner, serum, hydration and morning sun protection. Evening care adds make-up removal and richer products. Masks and exfoliation are performed 2 to 3 times weekly according to needs.
Why is hydration so important in Korean skincare ?
Hydration is essential for a healthy barrier, preventing ageing signs and maintaining radiant, supple skin. Well-hydrated skin withstands external aggressors better and stays brighter. Korean women therefore layer several lightweight products to maximise hydration.
Which cleansers do Korean women use for radiant skin ?
They favour double cleansing :
• An oil-based cleanser to remove make-up, sebum and impurities.
• A gentle water-based cleanser (gel or foam) to complete cleansing without irritation.
These products contain natural, gentle, hydrating ingredients to preserve the barrier and maintain complexion radiance.
