Gangnam facial spa for jawline care: Clermont Monde

As soon as I got back to reality after traveling, I fell straight into overtime hell, and my body was sooo stiff... 🫠 After sitting at work for ages, my skin also seemed dry and dull, so I looked for somewhere to properly unwind! And that’s how I ended up at Clermont Monde (끌레르몽드) in Cheongdam 💆♀️

Clermont Monde Cheongdam: Location and Hours

It’s at 43 Dosan-daero 92-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It is open 11:00–19:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays, 11:00–21:30 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and 11:00–18:00 on Saturdays; it is regularly closed on Sundays.

A Peaceful, Cozy Interior

The moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt so peaceful and cozy 🌿 The greenery filling the view outside the window was so pretty too—it felt like my eyes were being refreshed, haha.

First, you fill out a basic consultation form. Then the manager comes by to discuss your skin condition and concerns in detail before deciding on the day’s program. It definitely felt like a professional private massage spa, not one of those factory-style dermatology clinics!

Face&Body Care Special II Program

I received Special II from the Face&Body Care program!

Face&Body Care - Special II

I changed into a clean robe in the cozy changing room,

then headed upstairs to the second floor, where the treatment rooms are! Since the space is a converted house, everything from the staircase up had such a clean, elegant feel.

There are two-person rooms too,

and I had my treatment in a three-person room. There were no other clients, so I could relax privately on the middle bed, haha. (I visited at 2 p.m. on a weekday.)

From a Scalp Massage to Sebum Care

Once you take off the robe and lie on the bed, they first ease your tension with a light scalp massage and then begin a thorough cleanse 🧼 Rather than removing makeup in one go with harsh products, they gently remove it in two or three steps without irritating the skin. After calming the skin with a warm towel, they saturate thin cotton pads with product and let the sebum soften!

They even carefully set the pillow to suit my neck height, haha. Once the sebum had softened enough, they removed the unnecessary sebum with incredibly skilled, meticulous hands. It already felt like the healing had begun.. ♥

Strong Décolleté and Trapezius Release

After the sebum care, they apply a cool, hydrating mask to soothe the skin. While it absorbs, the upper-body décolleté massage begins!

The entire upper body is massaged with the top removed, so there are no photos—but I’ll make up for that with a detailed explanation‼️

• They use firm pressure to thoroughly loosen the whole abdomen from the center of the chest to above the navel, then push downward along the back and underarm lymph nodes to help upper-body circulation.
• The massage relaxes tight muscles from inside the collarbone to the front of the shoulders and between the shoulder blades, helping bring the body back into balance.
• Next, they use strong strokes from the shoulder line all the way through the arms to the fingertips. My arm muscles, usually stiff from computer use, felt completely released!
• They press each finger joint with delicate but firm pressure, and I could feel the swelling throughout my upper body go down and my body line smooth out, haha.

Because of my job, I have to stare at a monitor for a long time, so my neck and shoulders are always stiff. They worked especially thoroughly from the back of my neck through my trapezius muscles ㅠㅠ I was so knotted up that, honestly, it hurt a little and I nearly shed a tear... but afterward my body felt genuinely light, so I’m glad I pushed through, haha... A professional’s hands really are different... 💆♀️

Focused Jawline and Cheekbone Contour Care

After the upper-body treatment, the serious facial care begins! They said it is customized to each person’s face shape, and for me they focused on massaging my problem areas: my square jaw and cheekbones 💆♀️

They didn’t just focus on the face—they pressed and released the exact acupressure points behind my ears too, and it felt sooo refreshing!! After the contour massage, they apply a vitamin ampoule over the whole face and slowly help it absorb deep into the skin using a device 😌

After about an hour and a half of this full special-course treatment, they carefully wipe away the body oil with warm towels and cool the heat in the stimulated face with a second modeling mask. Finally, you get a relaxing aromatic-oil finishing treatment, and that’s it, haha. Can you see the glow on my face..!! ✨

After this long massage course that felt like it would never end, my body felt truly light—and above all, my complexion looked brighter! It felt as though my skin was full of moisture from within, so it really didn’t feel like a waste of money 🥹 From the beginning, I could immediately tell the manager’s touch was professional, so I could relax and enjoy the treatment. They worked in extra detail on my concerns—my cheekbones and jaw—as well as my knotted trapezius muscles, and I was x100000 satisfied, haha. This is absolutely a place I want to revisit!! Confirmed 💟
