BATANG, the Foundation
In Korean, the word "Batang (바탕)" means foundation, base, or underlying structure. It refers to the essential layer upon which everything is built—the fundamental condition that supports balance, stability, and growth.
At KAPSULE PALAIS, BATANG represents much more than a simple treatment. It is the very bedrock of our entire aesthetic philosophy.
The Origin of a Royal Korean Skincare Ritual
A refined skincare ritual, inspired by the Korean royal court and carried through time, is reborn today at KAPSULE.
This is not about "mysterious secrets" or exaggerated beauty promises. It is a protocol designed according to a rigorous system, built on 34 years of structural aesthetics practice in Korea and over 20,000 clinical cases.
Rooted in the traditional Korean understanding of meridians and energy flows, this method combines traditional tools, precise pressure, and rhythmic movements. The goal: to restore natural circulation to recalibrate the skin's rhythm.
For us, it's not just about skincare. It's a process of defining a trajectory. This philosophy is what we call BATANG.
A structure, much more than a treatment
BATANG is KAPSULE PALACE’s signature program. It is where the philosophy of structural care, developed over three decades in Korea, is implemented in Paris with the same high standards.
Rather than focusing solely on the surface of the epidermis, BATANG acts on circulation, lymphatic pathways, muscle balance, and structural alignment. This work helps restore the natural foundation necessary for healthy skin.
The goal is not temporary stimulation, but the restoration of the body's deep rhythm.
BATANG Programs
Within the BATANG universe, KAPSULE offers two specialized treatments:
OAK-AN (Oak An)
A facial ritual using traditional jade tools, designed to promote circulation, stimulate lymphatic flow, and restore clarity and vitality to the complexion.
-
OAK-AN SU (옥안 수) — Hydration & Skin Balance
Book TreatmentThis treatment follows the entire OAK-AN facial ritual, using traditional jade and brass instruments. It combines Korean acupressure techniques, rhythmic pressure, and targeted care to stimulate circulation.
The program focuses on deep hydration, skin balance, and overall vitality. It uses high-tech Korean ampoules, carefully selected and adapted to each client's specific skin condition.
Treatment duration: approximately 45–50 minutes
-
OAK-AN JIN (옥안 진) — Anti-Aging & Skin Resilience
Book the treatmentThe OAK-AN JIN treatment follows the same OAK-AN jade facial ritual, with a few subtle nuances.
Its unique feature lies in the use of specific ampoules, formulated to support elasticity, firmness, and overall anti-aging action.
This program is recommended for clients seeking deep revitalization and a visible improvement in skin resilience.
Treatment duration: approximately 45–50 minutes
SUSU-AN (SuSuAn)
A high-precision treatment focused on structural balance. Through rhythmic pressure techniques, it releases accumulated tension and restores the natural harmony of the features.
The Hand Meridians Ritual
"Freeing Circulation Through the Hand Meridians."
In Eastern medicine, hands are not just simple extremities of the body. They are one of the places where the state of overall circulation manifests most quickly. The hand is often considered the body's "other face"—a condensed map and a mirror reflecting the state of the organism and the face.
Cold, tense, or rigid hands are often signs of already slowed circulation. By stimulating the hand meridians and opening their flows, the body's deep rhythm begins to respond instantly.
At KAPSULE, we read the rhythm of your body through your hands. This process allows us to gently guide your organism toward a state of receptivity, conducive to care and recovery.
A Diagnostic Ritual
SUSU-AN is not just a simple 5 to 7-minute massage. It is a condensed diagnostic ritual that encapsulates the essence of 34 years of structural care philosophy and traditional meridian knowledge.
The use of hot towels promotes circulation, followed by precise pressure and rhythmic stimulation of acupressure points along the hand meridians. This protocol helps release blockages, calm the nervous system, and allow the body's responses to emerge in a very short time.
Awakening Body Awareness
Have you ever truly become aware of your body's state? Fatigue and stress often become so familiar that we no longer perceive them as warning signs.
Through the hand meridians—reflections of the face and body—SUSU-AN helps awaken these dulled sensations. This experience is not just a moment of relaxation; it's a clear and immediate introduction to the fundamental principles of traditional Korean care.
Together, these treatments form the BATANG system: a global approach to restore the fundamental balance from which skin beauty naturally emerges.
The KAPSULE Requirement
KAPSULE is a place where 34 years of Korean aesthetic philosophy are expressed in Paris, according to unchanged principles and standards.
Our values are clear:
No stimulation, but precision. No trends, but quality. No exaggeration, but ethics.
Based on these principles, we harmonize the heritage of traditional Korean care with modern hygiene and safety standards, thus offering a new direction for prestige aesthetics in Paris.
At KAPSULE, every treatment begins in the same place: the foundation. This foundation is BATANG.
