Frequently Asked Questions

Golki (also spelled Kolgi or Korugi, and written コルギ in Japanese) is a Korean beauty method that combines traditional Korean folk practice and Eastern medicine. The word means “bone (gol) and energy (gi)”. By pressing along the bones and loosening the muscles with the hands, it helps circulation and lymph flow, and is used to refine the look of the face line. In facial Golki we work around the cheekbones and jaw to ease tension and support the face line.

We press the right spots with suitable pressure to release tension and stiffness. Some guests dislike pain and others like firm Golki, so we ask your preference and adjust. If you are new to Golki, we can start with a soft Golki that is gentle on pain. Please tell us at any time during the treatment.

Basically there is no downtime. Some guests feel mild muscle soreness for 2-3 days, which fades as the muscles return to a normal state over a few visits. When we use devices such as a gua sha plate or radio frequency, some redness can appear, and it usually settles in about 2 hours.

Yes, you can put on makeup right after the treatment (for the no-peeling herbal peeling and the Mulgwang Peeling).

“Mulgwang” (물광) is the Korean word for a hydrated, dewy “water glow” look. Our Mulgwang Peeling gently removes dead skin cells and dirt while working in moisturizing and beauty ingredients, for a smooth, clear-looking finish. It has no downtime, and you can wear makeup right after. It is a salon skin care treatment, not an injection and not a medical procedure.

“4D” is the name of the Korean skincare program our contour menu is based on. It is not a medical procedure. We do not use any medical device, and it is different from the “4D lift” performed at beauty clinics.

A skin care treatment using natural herbs. It was developed in Germany in the 1970s as a natural therapy. We apply finely ground herbs and gently massage them in, caring for dead skin cells. Each guest receives a custom formula based on skin analysis. There is a gentle “no peeling” type and a “peeling” type that needs 3-5 days for the skin to settle. We tell you in advance, after looking at your skin.
