New Korean Skincare Medspa, Hello Skin, Opens in Hoboken
This article is sponsored by Hello Skin Medspa.
Korean beauty has become the holy grail of skincare and Hoboken is finally getting in on the action. Hello Skin Medspa, located at 129 Washington Street in Hoboken, is a luxury medspa that combines the best of Western and Korean beauty practices. From custom facials, tox + fillers, and laser hair removal to the Korean Titanium Lifting Treatment (more on that later) this spot is truly serving up a distinct and different menu of beauty services in town. Keep reading to learn more about Hello Skin Medspa, a Korean skincare medspa in Hoboken, New Jersey.
What’s on the Menu? (Pro-tip: try it all)
Hello Skin provides a wide range of spa treatments that address all sorts of needs — fine lines, acne, weight management, etc. The most highly coveted treatment available — and the most exclusive — is the Korean Titanium Lifting Treatment. Hello Skin is the only medspa on the East Coast to have this option available — it’s an advanced laser treatment that lifts, slims, and brightens the face + neck.
While the Titanium Lifting might be the most exclusive treatment, it’s certainly not the only one:
- Injectables: smooth out fine lines with neurotoxins or add volume and correct facial asymmetry with fillers with minimal downtime.
- Skin Treatments: lasers and photofacials to address sun damage, pigmentation, texture and uneven skin tone, along with RF micro needling to increase collagen and elastin production.
- Laser Hair Removal: the Titanium Laser uses an advanced technology called Ice Plus to cool the skin during a laser hair removal treatment. Packages for small, medium, large, and full areas are available, which includes 6 sessions and 2 free touch-up appointments.
- Facials: customizable facial options include dermaplaning, hydra-dermal treatments, Glo2 facials, deep pore facials, and more.
- PRP Treatment: works by using your own body’s healing power to treat aging skin, scars, and pigmentation of the skin to stimulate natural hair growth or rejuvenate collagen production.
- PDRN Treatment: popularized by Kim Kardashian, also called the Salmon Sperm Facial, Polynucleotides help rewind the skin's age.
- Semaglutide: reduce appetite, improve cravings, burn fat, and help to lose 2-4 pounds per week while boosting energy.
