What is a Glass Facial?
The Glass Facial is a cosmetic treatment designed to infuse skin with a combination of hydrating agents, nutrients, antioxidants, peptides, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins.
One component of the Glass Facial stimulates collagen and elastin production, increases hydration, helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances overall skin quality – including texture, tone, clarity, and laxity. The second component focuses on reducing pore size and skin laxity, as well as reducing facial redness, such as rosacea and flushing, by constriction of capillaries and control of excess sebum/oil production.

The Glass Facial combines two treatments in one. The first treatment is a blend of hydrating agents, peptides, amino acids, and antioxidants that are designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production, increase skin hydration, and address skin tone, texture, and clarity.

Following the Glass Facial, your skin will be more sensitive. We recommend avoiding sun exposure for the first few days, wearing SPF 30+ or higher, avoiding hot baths, showers, and saunas for three to five days; no chemical peels, facials or cosmetic injectables for 7 to 14 days. Specific aftercare instructions will be given to you prior to treatment.
Depending on the objective for your treatment, additional treatments or home-care serums are available to work alongside your Glass Facial treatment.
