Clear Blocked Pores, Reduce Buildup, and Restore Smooth, Fresh, Radiant Skin

Skin congestion happens when dead skin cells, oil, pollution, and product residue build up inside the pores—leading to bumps, dullness, rough texture, breakouts, and a tired complexion. It’s especially common among travelers, people in humid climates, or anyone using heavy skincare or makeup.

Gangnam dermatology clinics specialize in deep-cleansing, gentle resurfacing, and pore-clarifying treatments that clear congestion without irritation, revealing brighter, smoother, more breathable skin.
