🌸 Quick answer
What is an oxygen facial and what does it do? An oxygen facial is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses a handpiece to press oxygen and customised serums into the skin. It boosts hydration, supports circulation and leaves an immediate, refreshed glow. It suits most skin types, including sensitive skin, takes about 30–45 minutes and has no downtime, so makeup can go on right away. Results are subtle, and regular sessions keep the radiance.
What is an oxygen facial?
An oxygen facial uses a pressurised handpiece to deliver oxygen together with a serum chosen for your skin — brightening, hydrating or anti-aging. It is a popular lunchtime refresh in Seoul because it is quick, comfortable and has no downtime.
The effect is hydration and glow rather than deep change. It layers well with other treatments and makes a good pre-event or maintenance option alongside a aqua peel or skin boosters.

Oxygen Facial FAQ
How much does an oxygen facial cost in Seoul?
At NEST, a basic oxygen facial is about ₩80,000–₩150,000 and advanced versions with premium serums ₩150,000–₩250,000 or more. International patients pay the same local price, and packages often cost less per session.
Does an oxygen facial hurt?
No. It is gentle and relaxing — you feel the cool handpiece and serum passing over the skin, with no needles and no downtime.
How many sessions do I need?
A single session gives an instant glow. For sustained hydration and skin health, 2–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart work well, then monthly maintenance.
Is there any downtime?
None. Skin may feel fresh and slightly plumped, and makeup can usually be applied right away, so it fits easily into a busy day or trip.
When should I book it before an event?
One session a few days before a big event gives a fresh, hydrated glow on the day. Many people book it as a pre-event refresh.
Is an oxygen facial enough for scars or deep wrinkles?
Results are subtle and surface-level. For scars or deeper wrinkles, stronger treatments such as resurfacing or boosters are usually a better fit.
