Korean facial in Singapore what it means, and what our Korea range includes

The term

What people usually mean by a Korean facial

There is no single treatment called a Korean facial. In Singapore the phrase is mostly used for facials that chase the K-beauty glass-skin look: skin that looks clear, luminous and evenly hydrated, with pores that catch less light.

Glass skin is a hydration and texture result rather than the output of one machine. It tends to come from consistent hydration, gentle resurfacing and a calm, intact skin barrier. A facial in this style therefore leans on layered hydrating and brightening actives, applied in steps, rather than aggressive peels.

That describes a style, not a protocol with a fixed origin. When a centre calls a facial "Korean", it is worth asking what is actually done, which products are used and how long the session runs.

Rejuran® and PDRN

Where the Korean connection actually comes from

Rejuran® is a South Korean brand produced by PharmaResearch, a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Gangneung, Gangwon-do. Its products are built on polynucleotide (PN) and PDRN technology, and its cosmetic range uses an ingredient called c-PDRN, made from purified salmon DNA.

PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a polynucleotide: short chains of DNA fragments that signal the skin to support its own repair, including fibroblast activity, hydration and barrier quality. It is not a filler, and nothing is heated.

Rejuran® comes in two very different forms. The injectable Rejuran® skin booster is placed into the skin with a fine needle by a doctor, at a higher concentration, and usually leaves small bumps and redness that settle within hours to a day or two. The cosmetic Rejuran® Professional range, which SkinRev Lab uses, is applied to the skin. SkinRev Lab does not inject; every Rejuran® protocol here is topical.

The Korea range

What each Korea tier includes

The Korea range is one of three ranges of the Rejuran® PDRN Facial at SkinRev Lab, our non-invasive aesthetic centre at CityLink Mall. Like the other two, every tier is built around the same cosmetic-grade c-PDRN infusion, delivered transdermally with Meso Touch, past the skin's outer barrier without breaking it.

What sets the Korea range apart is that it layers the infusion with a mesotherapy-style topical step, Rejuran® boosters and, in the 75-minute Professional tier, LED. "Meso" here means a topical infusion step, not injections. The options below are exactly as listed on our menu.

• The boosters come from the Rejuran® Professional range, which SkinRev Lab uses exclusively. The Tone-Up Booster is aimed at dull skin; the Skin Booster at skin tone and overall skin support.
• The 90-minute Professional (Scalp) tier is aimed at hair and scalp care. Book it for the scalp, not as a longer face treatment.
• Longer sessions add steps, not a stronger active. The c-PDRN infusion is the same in every tier.

Three ranges

Korea vs Singapore vs Oriental

All three ranges use the same c-PDRN infusion, so the entry tier of any range is not a weaker treatment. They differ in the techniques built around the infusion, and in price.

If your skin is congested, the Korea range is not the place to start, because extraction is not listed in it. Clear the congestion first, with HydraFacial Syndeo or a 90-minute Singapore or Oriental Professional tier, then move on to the Korea range.

Other routes

HydraFacial, needle-free boosters and injections

• HydraFacial Syndeo (45 minutes, S$288 to S$438 before GST) is a cleansing and hydration facial: vortex suction exfoliates, extracts and infuses serum in one session. It suits congestion and dullness, and many clients alternate it with a Rejuran® course.
• Needleless SkinBooster (S$288 per region before GST) delivers booster solutions to one chosen region through a specialised applicator tip, for when you want hydration or another concern addressed directly rather than as part of a full facial.
• Injectable skin boosters, including polynucleotide (PN) boosters, are a medical procedure. At our affiliated clinic they are performed by Dr Sin Yong at IN Eternity Clinic, 9 Scotts Road, #12-01 Pacific Plaza, beside Orchard MRT, and priced at consultation by the clinic.

Expectations

What a needle-free PDRN facial can and cannot do

A topical c-PDRN facial works gradually. Skin often looks more hydrated after a session, and changes in texture and calm build across a course. It does not do what an injection at medical concentration does, and it is not a lifting or tightening treatment.

PDRN molecules are large, and large molecules cross intact skin poorly, which is why the delivery route matters. Much of the published human research on PDRN used injections, so that evidence cannot simply be transferred to a facial. We describe the result as gradual for that reason.

A course spaced a few weeks apart is usually planned at your skin assessment, followed by maintenance. Our Aesthetic Specialist checks suitability before the first session, and results vary from person to person.
