At the heart of this celebrated facial lie the foundational techniques: Gua Sha, oriental point pressure, and traditional Korean massage, delivered with the elegant touch of the Hwayul Jewel Roller. Traditionally exclusive to royals, Whoo Spa brings these ancient arts into the 21st Century – specifically in the spa’s premium tier treatments including the Cheongidan facial – modernising them to stimulate circulation, and expel toxins, laying the foundation for radiant skin.

And, the radiant glow doesn’t just stem from technique alone. The treatment is a powerful amalgamation of 26 oriental medicinal herbs, each selected for its unique skin benefits. Noteworthy among them are the pearl-shaped root wild ginseng and deer antler powder, potent ingredients that synergise to regenerate and illuminate the skin.

The result? An unmistakable radiance, a more even skin tone, and a defence against spots, pigmentation and dullness.

To elevate the experience, clients are treated to the entire Cheongidan range in a single treatment, crowned by The History of Whoo’s signature Bichup duo essences – the Bichup First Moisture Anti-Aging Essence and the Bichup Self-Generating Anti-Aging Concentrate.

Step into the cocoon of luxury that is Whoo Spa’s facial cabin at MBS, the brand’s first facial spa concept in Southeast Asia and its flagship store.

SWW editor Estelle Low, who reviewed the treatment, says she “left the spa feeling like a queen”.

“I like how the therapist Fiona took the time to share her knowledge about skincare with me. She was assuring and thoughtful when answering my questions, and didn’t make me feel pressured. With all the massages and rich products applied, my skin was indeed luminous right after the facial, as the description claimed,” she says.

And for The History of Whoo enthusiasts, this treatment can help to elevate and optimise your usual skincare regimen too.
