Signature Facial

The mid-range Asian facial — cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, massage, and mask — delivers Western med-spa attentiveness at neighborhood-salon prices, with Korea setting the technical ceiling.

What it costs

Vietnam $15–35
Thailand / Bali / KL $25–50
Seoul (studio tier) $40–70
United States $150–300 at comparable quality

What to expect

Multi-step protocols are the norm: double cleanse, steam, exfoliation, extractions (ask to skip if you prefer), facial massage — often including lymphatic or gua sha work — then a fitted sheet mask or modeling mask. Korean studios add devices: LED, ultrasonic, microcurrent.

Etiquette & modesty

You keep your clothes on below a wrapped towel or gown. Tell the aesthetician about retinoid use, allergies, and recent sun. Extraction intensity is a preference — state yours upfront.
