Our Visit
Today, I had the opportunity to receive a premium massage at the highly popular 'Korea Spa,' which is favored by both local and international customers. Korea Spa is conveniently located in the heart of Myeongdong and Euljiro, making it easily accessible. The interior is soft, warm, and exudes a calming atmosphere. It features a subdued mahogany color scheme that complements the overall wood tones, creating a luxurious and serene ambiance.
Just across from the front desk, there's a sofa where you can sit for a moment while presenting your reservation details. The interior might not be hip or trendy, but rather it embodies a traditional style. Interestingly, it evokes the feeling of being in a spa during a trip, which gave the editor a sense of being on a vacation. Moreover, there's a snack and various aroma oils on the sofa table, allowing you to enjoy different scents while waiting.
I first went to the changing room to freshen up. On one side of the changing room, gowns are prepared, so after changing, you can store your own clothes in the locker. In the innermost section, there's a vanity table. It's quite a novel experience to find a massage shop with different types of cosmetics and beauty tools organized by category. The editor had brought her own skincare products to use after the massage, but it turns out she didn't need to prepare as much!
Following the therapist's guidance, I moved to the foot bath area. The foot bath area is brightly lit with natural light, and cherry blossom trees seem to replace the ceiling, giving a feeling of being in a springtime scene.
The foot bath water is set at around 40 to 41 degrees Celsius, and I initially felt it was quite hot when I put my feet in. After about 30 seconds, it started feeling refreshing, and a sense of relief spread throughout my body, releasing fatigue. It's like how taking off your shoes after walking for a long time relieves fatigue, and I felt a similar sensation with the foot bath. Relaxing your body like this and opening up your pores can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment! I soaked my feet for about 10 minutes, and then the therapist wiped my feet dry.
Then, I moved to the massage room for the main massage session. The course the editor chose for today is the VIP course! The therapist started right away, beginning with the back, and then instructed me to lie down on my stomach.
They started by adjusting my head and giving a gentle neck stretch.
After that, they proceeded with an aromatherapy massage for the back. The therapist skillfully located tense areas and worked on them to release the tension, providing a refreshing feeling.
Then, they used a germanium stone to gently massage the entire back. The therapist explained that germanium stone is considered a "breathing stone," and it's known for its beneficial effects in massages.
Once the germanium stone massage is completed, they use a warm towel to gently wipe off the remaining aroma oil during the massage.
Next, they proceed to the massage for the back of the legs. Similarly, they start with an aromatherapy massage and then use the germanium stone to release fatigue throughout the legs.
From ankles to calves, and all the way up to thighs, they meticulously massaged every part without missing a single detail.
I lay down straight for the facial massage. First, they began with a firm scalp massage using their hands.
The first step is cleansing. To ensure a deep cleanse that reaches into the pores, they need to remove any applied sunscreen, makeup, or skincare products.
Next, they apply a peeling gel to remove dead skin cells. Since it takes some time for the exfoliation process, they use this time to give a massage to the shoulders and upper back.
After exfoliating to remove dead skin cells, they use a cream to moisturize and revitalize the skin.
They'll gently wipe your face with a towel, and now you're about to receive an aqua peeling treatment.
The treatment editor is about to receive involves exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and vitamin infusion, which can help eliminate skin's follicle mites.
The exfoliation effectively removes any remaining follicle mites. Follicle mites are parasitic organisms that live deep within the human facial skin and can contribute to acne, so it's important to periodically eliminate them.
Next, they facilitate the absorption of vitamins deep into the pores. With the removal of follicle mites and the infusion of vitamins, your skin is bound to experience improvement!
With the vitamin infusion complete, the exfoliation process is finished. To soothe your skin, they'll apply a cream, specifically aloe vera gel, to various parts of your face.
I've applied the highlight of the VIP course, the gold pack. It's applied to five areas - forehead, both cheeks, nose, and chin. After waiting for about 30 seconds, they'll spread it evenly on your face. The gold pack is known for its effectiveness in enhancing skin regeneration and promoting healthy skin.
Now, for the final step, they'll apply a plaster pack. The plaster pack promotes skin metabolism and blood circulation, resulting in clear and radiant skin. It also provides elasticity to the skin and offers various benefits.
Since the plaster pack takes around 15 minutes, during that time, they'll perform an aromatherapy massage for the front of your legs. They particularly focus on the soles of your feet. Walking a lot can make your feet, especially the soles, quite sore. So, getting a foot massage is highly effective in relieving fatigue and promoting recovery.
Similarly, after the massage is done, they'll use a warm towel to gently wipe off the remaining aroma oil during the massage. With this, the full body massage is complete!
They'll remove the plaster pack and apply nourishing cream and sunscreen. Some places might skip the sunscreen, but I liked that Korea Spa makes sure to apply it at the end!
Finally, they'll provide some stretching, and that concludes the VIP course.
While the difference might not appear in before-and-after photos, when you experience it, you'll notice improved blood circulation leading to brighter complexion and revitalized skin. Release the accumulated fatigue from work, studies, and travel with a premium massage at Korea Spa!
