Korea leads the world in aesthetic trends. Each season our educators report on what Seoul's clinics are doing, and which of it belongs in a New Zealand treatment room.
Spring 2026 edition
Korean clinics have made luminous, even skin the result patients ask for first. The technique is about many tiny, shallow deposits placed evenly, and about knowing when to stop.
We teach layering, spacing and treatment intervals, and how to plan a course of treatment that looks natural at every stage.
Taught in the K-Aesthetics Masterclass
Polynucleotide treatments moved from Korean clinics to the rest of the world in only a few years. Patients ask for them for texture, acne scarring and the delicate skin under the eyes.
We teach patient selection, protocols and how to talk about a result that builds over weeks, not minutes.
Taught in the K-Aesthetics Masterclass
A softer lower face is one of the most recognisable Korean aesthetic trends. Done well, it changes the shape of the face without anyone knowing why.
We teach assessment, dosing, asymmetry and the consent and documentation that off-label use requires.
Taught in the K-Aesthetics Masterclass
The strongest trend coming out of Seoul is restraint. Patients want to look rested and fresh, and they want nobody to be able to tell.
We teach the consultation that makes that possible: reading proportion, planning small changes, and saying no to more.
Taught in the K-Aesthetics Masterclass
This report is written for registered health practitioners. Treatments are carried out only after assessment, with products approved for use in New Zealand.
The K-Aesthetics Masterclass teaches this season's techniques on live models, for practitioners who already inject.
