$150 for a full-body brightening treatment. That’s a fraction of what brides spend on spray tans that look orange and fade in patches.
The Korean philosophy
Korean beauty doesn’t stop at the face. Full-body skin quality matters — especially for occasions where you’re showing skin (weddings, vacations, formal events). This treatment applies the Korean multi-step approach to the entire body: exfoliate, treat, hydrate, protect. It’s about uniform skin quality and radiance from collarbone to ankle.
The ritual
Dry brushing
10 minA natural bristle brush is used in upward strokes across your entire body. This stimulates lymphatic drainage, boosts circulation, and begins the exfoliation process.
Body scrub
15 minA brightening body scrub (containing rice bran, sugar, or salt with vitamin C) is massaged across your entire body. This removes the dead cell layer and preps the skin for serum absorption.
Brightening serum
10 minA professional-grade brightening serum containing niacinamide, arbutin, and vitamin C derivatives is applied from neck to toes. The freshly exfoliated skin absorbs these ingredients much more effectively than untreated skin.
LED therapy
15 minRed and yellow LED panels are positioned over key body areas (arms, legs, torso) to stimulate collagen and enhance the brightening serum’s efficacy.
Hydrating wrap
25 minYour body is wrapped in warm sheets infused with hydrating and brightening agents. You lie cocoon-wrapped for 20 minutes while the products absorb under the warmth. Many people fall asleep during this step.
Body moisturizer + SPF
10 minA rich body moisturizer seals everything in. SPF is applied to any areas that will be exposed. Your body skin should look immediately brighter and feel silky smooth.
Your first time
This is a full-body experience, so you’ll be undressed and covered with towels throughout (the therapist only uncovers the area being treated). The dry brushing feels invigorating. The body scrub is a thorough, satisfying exfoliation. The brightening serum is applied methodically. The LED therapy is hands-off relaxation time. The body wrap is the most relaxing part — wrapped in warm sheets with the lights dim, many people drift off. You emerge with body skin that looks and feels dramatically smoother, softer, and more radiant. The immediate difference is visible, and the brightness increases over the following 24-48 hours.
When to book
For a special event (wedding, vacation), start 6 weeks before with weekly sessions. The cumulative brightening effect is significant by session 4-6. For general maintenance, monthly sessions maintain even body skin tone. Great before any occasion where you’ll be showing skin. Schedule at least 2 days before an event for peak glow.

Not recommended for
East vs West
Western body treatments are typically either a scrub OR a wrap, rarely both plus LED plus professional serums. Korean body brightening treatments combine all modalities in a single session for comprehensive results. The Korean approach also uses more sophisticated brightening ingredients (niacinamide, arbutin) versus basic body lotions in Western treatments.
Aftercare
Apply body moisturizer daily to maintain results. SPF on exposed skin is essential — freshly brightened skin is more photosensitive. Avoid harsh body washes and physical exfoliation for 48 hours. Use niacinamide body lotion at home between sessions for cumulative brightening.
