Where's the closest-to-Boston place for a Korean-style body scrub?

Last winter, I went to the spa castle in New York and got a body scrub that left my skin happily silky for weeks. I haven't been able to find a Korean bathhouse or spa in or around Boston. What's the closest one?

Other traditions would also be fine, as long as the body scrub takes noticeable layers of old skin off your body and sluices them away with warm water.

Amen! The Spa Castle body scrub is mind-body numbing bliss, I can understand why you're seeking to repeat it! Unfortunately, I can't suggest any Boston-area spas (a Korean spa has opened in West Hartford, CT, but I suspect that's too far for you) but I can recommend getting a pair of scrubby gloves (like these at Target) and using them vigorously!! in between visits to whatever spa you find. I've found they do a close enough job of exfoliating that approximates that brand-new penny feel after a good scrub down!!
