55 min · $169
The Korean FCR Peel That Works While You Sleep
FCR — Fractional Cell Regeneration — is Korea's answer to aggressive resurfacing: microscopic coral calcium spicules that keep working in your skin for 24–36 hours after you leave, stimulating natural renewal and fresh collagen without a single acid pass. It's our most powerful treatment for acne scars, enlarged pores, stubborn pigmentation, and rough texture — visible improvement after one session, with the best results built over a customized series.
What the Coral Spicule Peel Can Improve
✓ Acne scars and post-acne marks
✓ Enlarged pores
✓ Hyperpigmentation and uneven tone
✓ Rough, uneven skin texture
✓ Active acne and congestion
✓ Fine lines and early signs of aging
✓ Keratosis pilaris ("strawberry skin")
✓ Dull, tired-looking skin
What Sets FCR Apart From a Chemical Peel
Not an Acid — a Regenerator
Traditional peels dissolve the surface with acid. Coral spicules work from within — creating microchannels that switch on your skin's own renewal and collagen production.
It Keeps Working for 24–36 Hours
The spicules stay active in your skin long after you leave the studio — a treatment that continues overnight instead of ending at the door.
Customized for Every Skin Tone
Intensity, prep, and aftercare are matched to your complexion — including deeper skin tones, where pigment needs a careful, conditioned approach.
A Full Recovery Ritual Built In
Every treatment ends with an intensely cooling Korean calming mask, then PDRN and exosomes to accelerate regeneration, probiotic recovery care, and red LED light therapy. We also carry take-home products that speed healing and boost brightening — pick them up at your appointment.
Your 55-Minute FCR Ritual
01 — Double Cleanse
A thorough double cleanse preps your skin for even spicule application.
02 — Enzymatic or Manual Exfoliation
Gentle exfoliation clears dead surface cells so the spicules reach the skin that needs them.
03 — FCR Coral Spicule Application
The Korean resurfacing powder is massaged in — you'll feel warm, prickly tingles as millions of microscopic spicules go to work.
04 — Cooling Korean Calming Mask
An intensely cooling mask draws out the heat, soothing and comforting your skin.
05 — PDRN & Exosomes
Korea's most advanced regenerative actives accelerate healing and amplify collagen renewal.
06 — Probiotic Recovery & Red LED
Probiotic care rebalances your skin while red LED light therapy calms and supports repair.
07 — Brightening Post-Treatment Cream
A brightening cream seals the treatment and starts your glow while your skin keeps renewing overnight.
What to Expect After Your Peel
Hours 1–36 — Warm & Prickly
Your skin feels warm and prickly to the touch while the spicules keep working. Pinkness is normal and expected.
Days 2–4 — Renewal Begins
Some clients flake noticeably, others barely at all — both are normal. Dark spots may temporarily look darker; that's pigment lifting to the surface on its way out.
Days 5–7 — Fresh Skin Surfaces
Flaking finishes and smoother, brighter skin comes through as old pigment falls away.
Week 2+ — The Glow Builds
Collagen keeps building for weeks. Texture, clarity, and radiance continue improving — and your next treatment in the series builds on it.
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
1 Treatment — The Reset
An instant glow-up: smoother texture and brighter skin once the renewal finishes.
3 Treatments — Refine & Brighten
Noticeable texture refinement and a brighter, more even tone that friends start commenting on.
4–6 Treatments — Scars, Pores & Pigment
The full series for acne scars, enlarged pores, stubborn pigmentation, and advanced rejuvenation.
Maintenance — Every 6–12 Weeks
One treatment every 6–12 weeks holds your results and keeps collagen production working long-term.

“It felt like electricity was underneath my skin when I would touch it. The heat only lasted an hour, and the tingles dissolved overnight. 2–3 days later my skin was lightly flaking, and by day 6 my skin was baby smooth! After 2 weeks my spots were 80–90% faded. I did 2 more over the next 2 months and the results were incredible.”
Frequently Asked Questions
-
FCR stands for Fractional Cell Regeneration, an advanced Korean skin renewal treatment that uses microscopic coral calcium spicules to stimulate healthier-looking skin while supporting collagen production and natural cellular renewal.
-
Yes. Korean Coral Peel, Coral Spicule Peel, and FCR (Fractional Cell Regeneration) are commonly used names for the same category of advanced Korean skin resurfacing treatments.
-
Coral spicules are naturally derived microscopic structures obtained from marine coral calcium. During treatment they temporarily remain within the upper layers of the skin, helping stimulate natural renewal while enhancing the delivery of active skincare ingredients.
-
No. Peeling varies depending on your skin condition, treatment intensity, and your body's natural healing response. Some clients experience noticeable flaking, while others have little or no visible peeling. The microscopic coral spicules continue supporting your skin's natural renewal process for approximately 24–36 hours, and individual results may vary.
-
Most clients describe the Korean Coral Spicule Peel as feeling prickly, scratchy, or like tiny electrical prickles beneath the skin during the application. The sensation is temporary and typically subsides quickly, leaving behind only a feeling of warmth. Any remaining prickliness gradually decreases over the next 24–36 hours as the microscopic coral spicules complete their role in the skin's natural renewal process. To maximize comfort, we finish every treatment with an intensely cooling Korean calming mask that helps reduce heat while soothing and comforting the skin.
-
Many clients notice visible improvement after one treatment, while concerns such as acne scars, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and deeper texture irregularities generally respond best to a customized series of 3–6 treatments. Every treatment plan is personalized based on your skin condition, goals, and how your skin responds over time.
-
Yes. One of the Korean Coral Spicule Peel's most popular uses is helping improve the appearance of acne scars by supporting collagen production and the skin's natural remodeling process over a series of treatments. While many clients notice visible improvement, individual results may vary.
-
Yes. The Korean Coral Spicule Peel can often be customized for a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin tones. Existing areas of hyperpigmentation may temporarily appear darker during the healing process before gradually exfoliating as the skin renews itself. Many clients notice a brighter, smoother, and more even-looking complexion after healing, although individual results may vary. If you're unsure whether this treatment is right for your skin, text us clear, close-up photos of your skin, and a licensed skin therapist will review them and let you know if the Korean Coral Spicule Peel is an appropriate option for your skin concerns.
-
Not exactly. While the Korean Coral Spicule Peel contains carefully selected skincare ingredients, it works very differently than a traditional chemical peel. Instead of relying primarily on acids to exfoliate the skin, it uses microscopic coral calcium spicules to temporarily stimulate the skin's natural renewal process while supporting collagen production and healthier cellular turnover. This unique approach allows the treatment to address concerns such as acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and hyperpigmentation in a different way than conventional chemical peels.
-
Many clients notice brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin once the initial healing process is complete, typically within 7–10 days. Improvements in skin texture, clarity, and overall radiance continue to develop over the following weeks as collagen production and the skin's natural renewal process continue. While many people see visible improvement after one treatment, concerns such as acne scars, enlarged pores, and hyperpigmentation generally respond best to a customized series of treatments. Individual results may vary.
