What is Oxygen Peel?

Oxygen Peel combines two steps: a gentle peel that loosens dead skin cells and sebum on the surface, and oxygen-based care that leaves the skin feeling refreshed. The aim is a clearer, smoother texture and a brighter-looking tone, without the irritation of a stronger chemical peel.

It suits dull or congested skin that needs regular clearing. If you mainly want a refreshing facial without exfoliation, see O2 Care; for pore cleansing with suction, see Aqua Peel.

How Oxygen Peel works

The skin is cleansed, then a gentle peeling step loosens dead cells and surface impurities. Oxygen-based care follows to refresh the skin, and the session finishes with soothing and moisturising products.

  1. Consultation: your skin type and sensitivity are checked first.
  2. Peel and oxygen care: gentle exfoliation followed by oxygen-based care, about 20–30 minutes.
  3. After: soothing care and sunscreen; you can return to your day.

Why patients choose Oxygen Peel

  • Gentle exfoliation — clears dead cells and impurities without harsh peeling.
  • Refreshing oxygen care — helps tired skin look more vibrant.
  • Smoother texture — regular sessions keep skin feeling clear and soft.
  • No downtime — easy to book on a short visit to Busan.

Who is Oxygen Peel for — and when we suggest something else

Good candidates

  • Your skin looks dull from dead cells and sebum build-up.
  • Impurities in your pores make texture feel rough.
  • You want exfoliation that is milder than a strong chemical peel.
  • You have sensitive skin but still want a clearing treatment.
  • You plan regular care every 1–2 weeks.

We may suggest something else if…

  • You only want a relaxing refresh without exfoliation. O2 Care skips the peeling step.
  • Your skin is very dry and reactive. Milk Peel adds hydration with a mild lactic acid.
  • You have active, inflamed acne. Dr. Park may suggest Extraction or Accure Laser first.
  • You recently used a strong peel, scrub or retinoid and your skin stings. Waiting a few days is safer.
  • You have a cold sore or open wounds on the face. Treatment is usually postponed until they heal.

What happens at your Oxygen Peel session in Seomyeon

  1. Message us on WhatsApp first. Send a photo of your skin and list the products you use, especially retinoids or acids. Tell us your dates in Busan.
  2. Consultation with Dr. Park. Dr. Park checks oiliness, sensitivity and any broken skin. She confirms whether a peel is suitable today.
  3. Preparation & numbing. Your face is cleansed. No numbing is needed because the peel is gentle.
  4. The treatment. A light peeling step is followed by oxygen care, about 20–30 minutes in total. Expect light tingling, then a cool feeling.
  5. Out the door & follow-up. You leave with no downtime. Avoid scrubs for about a week, and plan your next session in 1–2 weeks.

How Dr. Park plans your Oxygen Peel treatment

An Oxygen Peel has two parts: exfoliation, then oxygen care. Dr. Park decides how much exfoliation your skin can take. Oily, congested areas such as the nose and chin can tolerate more. Dry cheeks or sensitive patches are treated more gently.

Results build over several visits. Sessions every 1–2 weeks are usually recommended. Spacing them too closely can over-exfoliate, so the plan considers any other peels or lasers on your schedule.

There are no shots or units here. The goal is clearer, smoother texture without visible peeling. Ask on WhatsApp for a quote, since pricing depends on your plan.

Oxygen Peel results: what to expect and when

  • Right after: skin feels smoother and looks fresher.
  • Days 1–3: mild pinkness settles; skin looks clearer.
  • After several sessions: texture often looks more even and refined.
  • Ongoing: results vary by person; regular care maintains them.

Side effects, risks and who should avoid Oxygen Peel

Oxygen Peel is mild, but exfoliation can cause temporary reactions. Possible side effects include:

  • Temporary redness or stinging
  • Mild dryness or light flaking
  • Rarely, irritation in very reactive skin

Not suitable if you: have an active skin infection, cold sore or open wound in the area; are sunburnt; have used isotretinoin recently; or have a known allergy to any ingredient. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or use prescription retinoids.

Oxygen Peel vs O2 Care, Aqua Peel and Black Peel: which should you choose?

These options all clear and refresh the skin, but with different methods.

Treatment How it works Best for Downtime Results last
Oxygen Peel Gentle exfoliation plus oxygen care Dullness, dead cells, rough texture None Varies by individual
O2 Care Oxygen-based facial without peeling Tired, dull skin None Varies by individual
Aqua Peel Solutions and suction Congested pores, hydration None Varies by individual
Black Peel Peeling care for dead cells and sebum Oily, dull skin None Varies by individual

Choose Oxygen Peel if you want both exfoliation and a refreshed look. Choose Aqua Peel when pores are the focus. Choose O2 Care if your skin cannot take any exfoliation right now.

Aftercare after Oxygen Peel

  • Temporary redness or stinging may occur and usually settles soon.
  • Avoid scrubs and peeling products for about a week.
  • Apply sunscreen thoroughly.
  • On the day of treatment, avoid saunas, hot baths and strenuous exercise.
  • Moisturise well to help restore the skin barrier.

Downtime after Oxygen Peel, and flying home

Temporary redness or stinging can occur and usually settles soon. Most people go back out the same day. For about a week, avoid scrubs and other peeling products. Moisturise well to support your skin barrier, and wear sunscreen whenever you are outdoors.

On the day, skip saunas, jjimjilbang, hot baths and hard exercise. Alcohol may increase redness, so keep it light that night. Flying is generally fine soon after an Oxygen Peel. Bring a moisturiser, since cabin air is dry. If you are combining it with a laser, tell Dr. Park your flight date. See our aftercare tips for travellers.

Is an Oxygen Peel strong enough to treat acne?

It helps with the surface side of acne, but it is not a treatment for active inflammation. Clearing dead cells and sebum can reduce clogging, so some people see fewer blackheads and smoother texture. Red, painful spots and cysts need a different approach. Options include Extraction, Anti-Inflammatory Injection for a single inflamed spot, or Accure Laser for recurring acne. Dr. Park can combine these with peels once inflammation is under control. Show her your skin on a typical day, not just a good one.

Why do I need to avoid scrubs for a week after an Oxygen Peel?

Because your skin has already been exfoliated, and more scrubbing can damage the barrier. A damaged barrier shows as stinging, redness, flaking or new breakouts. The week-long break lets the surface rebuild. Gentle cleansing and moisturising are fine, and actually help recovery. Pause scrubs, peeling pads and strong acid toners. If you use a retinoid, ask Dr. Park when to restart it. If stinging or redness lasts more than a couple of days, message us on WhatsApp.

Can I get an Oxygen Peel during a short trip to Busan?

Yes. It is well suited to short stays because there is no downtime and the session takes about 20–30 minutes. Many visitors book it on arrival day or early in the trip. Ideally, avoid booking it right before a long day at the beach. Freshly exfoliated skin burns more easily, even on cloudy days. If you also want a laser, Dr. Park will decide the order. She will usually avoid stacking several exfoliating treatments on one day.

Oxygen Peel FAQ

How much does Oxygen Peel cost in Busan?

Oxygen Peel pricing at Art of Shine Clinic in Seomyeon depends on whether you book it alone or with other skin care. Send us a message on WhatsApp for a quote before your visit. Prices are in KRW and exclude 10% VAT.

Does Oxygen Peel hurt?

Most people feel only light tingling during the peeling step and a cool, refreshing sensation during the oxygen care. It is a gentle treatment, so numbing is not needed. Tell the staff if anything feels uncomfortable.

How often should I get an Oxygen Peel?

Sessions every 1–2 weeks are usually recommended for regular clearing. Many people notice smoother, clearer-looking skin after a few sessions. How long results last varies with your skin type and routine.

Can I sightsee or fly after an Oxygen Peel?

Yes. There is no downtime. Wear sunscreen while out, avoid saunas, hot baths and hard exercise that day, skip scrubs for about a week, and keep your skin moisturised on flights.

Oxygen Peel vs Aqua Peel: which is better for me?

Both are gentle. Oxygen Peel combines light exfoliation with oxygen care to refresh dull skin. Aqua Peel uses solutions and suction to deep-clean pores while hydrating. Your doctor can suggest which fits your skin.

Who checks my skin before an Oxygen Peel?

Dr. Park Yoon-soo, Head Director of Art of Shine Clinic, reviews your skin before treatment. She checks sensitivity, breakouts and products you use. You can send photos on WhatsApp ahead of time.

Can I wear makeup after an Oxygen Peel?

Light makeup is usually fine after the day of treatment. On the day itself, keep it minimal and let your skin settle. Avoid heavy foundation if your skin feels tender.

Can I book an Oxygen Peel without a separate consultation visit?

Yes. The skin check with Dr. Park happens on the same visit, just before treatment. Book on WhatsApp, arrive a little early to fill in your details, and pay at the clinic on the day.
