Korean facial in Kadıköy, Istanbul
The Korean facial (K-beauty) is a skincare philosophy that cleanses, hydrates and protects the skin in gentle layers, without stressing it. At Luminosa we adapt every Korean facial to your skin type and how your skin is that day, in an unhurried, boutique setting.
What is a Korean facial?
A Korean facial comes from South Korea's skincare culture, which is built on prevention. Instead of aggressive treatments, it relies on gentle cleansing, regular exfoliation and intense hydration to strengthen the skin's natural barrier.
A professional Korean facial in the salon combines this philosophy with deep cleansing and pore care, aiming for the smooth, hydrated, luminous look known as “glass skin”.

What our guests say
Rated 5.0 on Google from 92 reviews
“I booked a head spa and Korean facial, and both were wonderful. She was incredibly nice and welcoming, and she spoke enough English that it was very easy for us to communicate throughout the treatments. […] I’m really glad I found this place while visiting Istanbul.”
“I even came from Athens to try the head spa and Korean skincare treatment, and it was absolutely worth it. I’ve been to many places before but never left this satisfied. […] My skin felt amazing and the whole experience was so relaxing.”

Frequently asked questions
How is a Korean facial different from a classic facial?
A Korean facial avoids aggressive methods that can dry or irritate the skin and focuses on gentle cleansing and layered hydration. The aim isn't just to cleanse, but to protect the skin barrier for a healthy, radiant look over time.
How many Korean facials do I need?
Your skin will look noticeably cleaner and brighter after one session. For lasting results we recommend a 4-session package, 3–4 weeks apart.
Is a Korean facial suitable for acne-prone skin?
Yes, its gentle approach can be adapted to acne-prone skin. If you have active, inflamed acne, we choose the protocol together in your consultation and may recommend acne-focused protocols such as Carboxy Therapy® or Pumpkin Peel®.
What should I do after a Korean facial?
Use sunscreen, avoid heavy make-up the same day, and skip strong actives (retinol, acids) for a few days.
