Cheongdam spa lifting facial for a mom's thin skin: Clermont Monde

Why I tried a lifting facial at Clermont Monde in Cheongdam

I went to Clermont Monde, a skin care spa in Cheongdam, for a lifting facial to work on skin firmness and my face line. The weather suddenly turned cold and dry, and every time I looked in the mirror my skin just didn't feel as firm as it used to. Home care alone wasn't quite enough, and I wanted something more thorough for my face line and elasticity, so this time I visited Clermont Monde.

In my twenties I went to dermatology clinics fairly often, but my skin is really thin, so continuing with strong lasers and procedures felt like too much, and it seemed to make my skin even thinner. On top of that, I wanted a place that's also good at neck and back décolleté care while I'm at it, and that's how I found Clermont Monde.

How satisfied you are with skin care depends on where you go, so I checked everything from the treatment process to the atmosphere of the shop. Here's my Clermont Monde visit review.

What's the atmosphere like at Clermont Monde in Cheongdam?

Clermont Monde in Cheongdam is a calm, private-feeling spa. Even the exterior feels a little different from a typical shopping-building shop, which caught my eye, and I liked that it's a space where you can take a break from the city while getting skin care.

When going for skin care, I think a relaxing atmosphere matters as much as the technique, and I liked having quiet time to focus on myself. If you're looking for a skin care spa in Cheongdam, it's worth considering the location and mood too.

Clermont Monde lifting care: why the décolleté work stood out

My main goal for this visit was skin firmness and décolleté. The lifting care was one-on-one and tailored, and the décolleté work, which loosens the muscles one by one alongside the skin care, was especially impressive.

Skin firmness and texture change over time, and lifestyle and home care matter, but I've reached the age where professional care is needed, so I came in. They explained the care I needed one-on-one and used plenty of product without skimping.

And honestly, what impressed me even more than the firming was the décolleté skill!!!! I've never had such a refreshing décolleté treatment at a skin care spa. It made me realize I really should get this done at a shop. At home you can't release muscle knots or fatigue, you're only treating the very surface of the skin, but Clermont Monde in Cheongdam combines skin care with careful, muscle-by-muscle décolleté care, so you get double the effect.

Lifting care steps

The Clermont Monde lifting care went in this order: cleansing, exfoliation, firming ampoule, 1st mask, décolleté, 2nd mask, finish and sunscreen. After the first cleansing they waited a moment so the dead skin could loosen, then did the exfoliation, and then applied the firming ampoule and the 1st mask.

While the 1st mask absorbed, they did the décolleté on the neck, shoulders and collarbone line. My neck and shoulders are in worse shape than my skin, so they focused on them more intensively.

Neck and shoulders twisted by scoliosis and carrying my child on one side

Because scoliosis pulls me to one side, my neck and shoulder muscles are stretched on the right and tight on the left. I also always carry my child on my right side, so even when the therapist only lightly worked my neck, it cracked 😢

She told me this is all because the muscles are knotted and tight, and that I'm young now so other muscles are holding things up, but before long even those will give out and I might be going to the hospital every day. She nagged me a bit, haha...ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ

Past the neck, she also did hands-on care on the collarbone, armpits and chest, where there are lots of lymph nodes, followed by the back, then the face line and jaw.

My jaw asymmetry felt evened out, even though it wasn't contouring

What made me sure she's really good is that, besides feeling refreshing, my jaw joint asymmetry felt more balanced even though I hadn't had contouring. I have some facial asymmetry and pay attention to it when I get contouring, and she said that just caring for the jaw area well makes facial asymmetry easier to improve.

After the 2nd mask at the end, my body felt much lighter, even though it was only skin care!???

Why I recommend Clermont Monde to moms even more than brides-to-be

I knew Clermont Monde was famous for bridal care, and after trying it, it's clearly a shop optimized for dress-line care that shows off your figure, and for skin care. But honestly I'd recommend it to moms like me even more than brides-to-be, since you can take care of skin and fatigue in one go, haha.

What to know before a lifting facial if skin firmness worries you

If you're worried about skin firmness as you age, or want to look after your face line more carefully, a lifting facial may interest you.

I also sometimes feel basic skincare alone isn't enough, but one session of skin care won't solve every concern, so I think it's important to check your current skin condition and keep up steady home care alongside. After a treatment, take care to keep your skin from drying out, and don't forget to use sunscreen thoroughly during the day!

If you're considering a lifting facial at Clermont Monde in Cheongdam, it's a good idea to ask before visiting about the devices and products used, the treatment time, and precautions depending on your skin condition.
