Dermatology ClinicGold Infusion Facial in Busan, Korea A hydrating, brightening facial for dull or tired skin, and how it compares with the facials JRYN lists
A gold infusion facial is about glow and hydration, not a medical fix for pigment or scars. At JRYN Seomyeon, Dr. Kim checks what is making your skin look dull first, so you get the facial or treatment that suits the cause.
What does a gold infusion facial actually do?
A gold infusion facial cleanses the skin and then pushes a serum containing fine gold particles, usually with hydrating and soothing ingredients, into the surface layers with a device or gentle massage. Most of the visible benefit comes from the hydration and the cleansing step, which leave skin looking plumper, smoother and brighter for several days. The independent evidence that gold itself changes the skin is limited, so think of it as a glow treatment rather than a correction for spots, melasma or scars.
At JRYN Seomyeon, facials are planned by Dr. Kim Ji-young . A gold infusion option is not on the published price list, so its availability and price are confirmed at consultation. Listed alternatives include HydraFacial from ₩110,000 , Aqua Peel ₩50,000 and LDM ₩100,000 .

- You have no time for downtime
- You want regular maintenance between stronger treatments
Consider something else if
- Your main concern is melasma or dark spots (laser toning or pico suits better)

- You are allergic to metals or to ingredients in the serum

Gold Infusion Facial FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
How much is a gold infusion facial in Busan?
A gold infusion facial is not on JRYN Seomyeon’s published price list, so availability and price are confirmed at consultation. For a similar glow with a listed price, HydraFacial starts from ₩110,000, Aqua Peel is ₩50,000 and LDM is ₩100,000 for 12 minutes.
Does gold really help the skin?
The evidence for gold particles changing the skin is limited. The visible glow mainly comes from cleansing and from the hydrating ingredients infused with the gold. If you want a measurable change in pigment, texture or firmness, a laser, booster or energy device is a better tool.
Does a gold infusion facial use needles?
Usually not. Most versions use a device or massage to work the serum into the skin. Some clinics combine it with microneedling or micro-infusion, which adds a little redness. Ask which method will be used before you book.
Is there downtime?
Little or none. Some people have mild redness for an hour or two. You can usually wear makeup the next day, and sunscreen is important for a few days afterwards.
How long do the results last?
The glow usually lasts several days to about a week. Regular facials every few weeks help maintain hydration and smoothness, and results vary with skin type and routine.
Can I combine a glow facial with other treatments?
Yes. Facials are often paired with laser toning, LDM or skin boosters. The doctor plans the order on the day so that sensitive skin is not overloaded.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Often, but not always. Metal particles and fragrance can irritate reactive skin. If your skin is sensitive, the doctor may suggest LDM or a soothing facial instead.
