Buk-gu, Busan esthetic with scalp and décolleté care: Bemontes

My skin suddenly flared up lately, and it had been stressing me out quite a lot. Little things that normally would not bother me started appearing one by one, and my skin itself felt sensitive, so I had to think about it when applying makeup and even after washing my face, it did not feel comfortable.

At a time like this, I thought it might be better to get proper skin care once rather than putting all sorts of things on at home, so I visited Bemontes Esthetic in Deokcheon. Since my skin was flaring up and sensitive this time, I wanted care focused on calming it comfortably rather than doing lots of intensive treatments. Let me go through the treatment I received step by step.

Visiting Bemontes Esthetic in Deokcheon and choosing soothing care

Bemontes Esthetic is located around Deokcheon, so it was not difficult to find. I also liked that visitors arriving by car have a little less to worry about, since basement parking support is available. Parking can quietly become a concern when visiting an esthetic or skincare salon, right? It is unnecessarily inconvenient when you have to think about parking fees after a treatment too, so the parking support was a plus for me.

The first thing I noticed when I entered was how clean everything was. The treatment space was orderly and had a neat atmosphere, so it did not feel too awkward even though it was my first visit. Receiving treatment alone is nice too, but they said it is also possible to receive treatment at the same time as a companion, so it seemed like a good option for friends, family, or anyone wanting skincare together. My skin was bothering me that day, so I decided on soothing care.

Cleansing after checking my sensitive skin condition

Before beginning the treatment, they first cleaned and prepared my skin thoroughly. When getting skincare, it is important to remove any makeup and impurities left on the skin first, right? They cleansed carefully before moving into the main treatment.

Because my skin had been flaring up recently, I was a little concerned it might become more irritated during treatment. But they checked my skin condition as they worked, which put me at ease. In particular, when I said my skin was sensitive, they did not simply treat it intensely; they adjusted the care to suit its condition. I personally really liked that.

From a soothing mask to scalp, aroma, and décolleté care

After cleansing, they first applied a soothing mask. Perhaps because my skin was sensitive, just having the mask on made it feel a little more comfortable.

And it did not end there—they continued with scalp care too. My scalp can feel subtly tight or tired on ordinary days, and having it loosened while I lay back comfortably felt even more refreshing than I expected. The director's hands were especially amazing. It was not just a light touch; it felt as though she found the tight areas and worked them loose, and I could feel my tension gradually release during the treatment. I came for skincare and ended up getting such refreshing scalp relief too, which quietly raised my satisfaction.

Aroma care followed the scalp treatment. Receiving care while taking in the gentle aroma made the atmosphere feel even more relaxing. Then she worked on my décolleté as well. Personally, when I get skincare, I prefer having my neck, shoulders, and décolleté treated too rather than only my face, and my whole upper body felt refreshed that day. The director's hands were especially refreshing, so this part stayed with me.

People who use computers or phones a lot often have stiff necks and shoulders, but lying comfortably while receiving décolleté care let me release the tension in my body and rest, even if only briefly. I liked that it felt like relaxation as well as skincare.

Contour care adjusted for my skin condition

Next, we moved on to facial contour care. Facial contour care can bring to mind treatment with a certain amount of pressure across the face, but because my skin was flaring up that day, it was done much more carefully than usual. Strong rubbing or pressure can feel burdensome when skin is sensitive, so she took my condition into account and carefully treated mainly along the outer lines.

As a result, I could receive the treatment comfortably without any discomfort or stinging. I liked that they did not follow the same fixed sequence with the same intensity for everyone, but adjusted it after looking at my current skin condition. I think this is important for people like me, who are a little worried about receiving care because their skin has suddenly become sensitive.

Extraction only where needed, followed by another soothing mask

After contour care, she also did a simple extraction only where needed. Since my skin was flaring up, I felt it would be burdensome to touch too many things, but it was fine because she kept it simple and limited to the necessary areas. After the extraction, she applied another soothing mask. Skin can become irritated after extraction, but putting on the soothing mask right away felt like a process of settling and comforting it. My goal that day was to make my skin as comfortable as possible, so I liked this treatment sequence.

Finishing with ampoule steps 1 and 2, soothing gel, and a modeling mask

After the soothing mask, ampoule care followed. Rather than applying the ampoule all at once, they used steps 1 and 2 separately and helped it absorb into the skin with a device. It was not simply a matter of applying a product and ending there; having the care divided into stages made it feel like I was getting proper skincare.

During the treatment, I could especially feel moisture being added to my skin, and its surface gradually felt more hydrated. My skin condition had not been good lately, so I worried whenever I looked in the mirror, but receiving each of these steps somehow made even my mind feel calmer.

After the ampoule care, they applied soothing gel to my face. And rather than simply applying it and finishing, they again used a device to help it absorb into my skin. They worked carefully so as not to burden my skin, which made it comfortable to receive.

Looking at the overall treatment, it included quite a few stages: cleansing, masks, scalp care, aroma care, décolleté care, contour care, extraction, ampoule, and soothing gel. I visited thinking only of soothing skincare, but I was satisfied because there was more variety of care than I expected. The final step was a modeling mask. Ending with the modeling mask gave me a cool, hydrated feeling. Lying down with the mask on for a while, I thought back to the scalp and décolleté care I had received earlier and truly felt as though I had come out after a very comfortable rest.

How my skin and body felt after the treatment

I went for skincare, but it felt like more than simply applying products to my face—it also relaxed my body, which I think made it even better. When I looked in the mirror after the treatment, the first thing I noticed was my skin tone. My skin looked brighter overall, and the redness and sensitive-looking feeling seemed to have settled down a little, which I was happy with.

Of course, one skincare session does not solve every skin concern, but at least that day I could immediately feel that my skin was more comfortable and settled than before. I had been very stressed because my skin suddenly flared up recently, but after receiving the soothing care that day, I definitely felt different. Before the treatment, my skin was so sensitive that I even worried about touching my face; afterward, it felt hydrated and much more comfortable.

I especially liked that, rather than giving intensive care simply because that was the plan even when my skin was in poor condition, she adjusted the intensity of the contour care to suit my skin. The refreshing scalp-to-décolleté treatment also left me feeling clear and refreshed overall. The director's hands being so refreshing was another part I personally loved! Products and programs matter when choosing a skincare salon, but I think the practitioner's touch and attentiveness matter a great deal in the end too, and I was satisfied in that respect that day.

Things to keep in mind before visiting with sensitive skin

If your skin has become sensitive lately like mine and you want care focused on soothing it, I think it would be fine to visit once. The salon interior was clean, and basement parking support made it convenient to arrive by car. Above all, being able to receive treatment at the same time as a companion is an advantage, so it seemed like a nice place to come for skincare with a friend too.

My skin was especially sensitive that day, so I received care focused on calming it comfortably rather than intensive treatment. The director looked at my skin condition and proceeded carefully, so I could receive it without feeling burdened. Starting with cleansing, it went in order through a soothing mask, scalp care, aroma care, décolleté care, facial contour care, simple extraction, ampoule steps 1 and 2, soothing gel, and a final modeling mask, so it felt like time well spent.

When I looked in the mirror afterward, my skin looked a little brighter and the sensitive appearance had settled down, making this a satisfying visit for me. It seemed like a good place to visit when your skin condition is up and down like it has been lately, when you want to get your skin in order before an important occasion, or when you simply want to lie down comfortably after a long time, receive skincare, and have your scalp and décolleté loosened refreshingly.

Especially if you are worried about receiving treatment while your skin is sensitive, I think it would be good to explain your current skin condition and get a consultation before visiting. If you are stressed because your skin has flared up recently like I was, calmly receiving care tailored to your current skin condition instead of trying many products too aggressively may be one option. I visited for soothing care this time, and my skin felt much more comfortable and my face looked brighter afterward, so I headed home feeling good.
