GLASS SKIN FACIALS IN SEOUL
Conveniently located in Gangnam to serve Apgujeong, Sinsa, Cheongdam and patients from around the world, ETONNE Plastic Surgery offers doctor-led care in Seoul, Korea.
Quick answer: A glass skin facial is a Korean skin treatment that aims for clear, deeply hydrated, even-toned skin that looks smooth and luminous, like glass. At a medical clinic it combines deep cleansing and exfoliation, hydrating skin boosters and gentle light or laser treatments. It is a popular pre-event treatment because downtime is minimal.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
- Deep cleansing and extraction: clears congested pores
- Gentle exfoliation or peel: refines texture and brightens tone
- Hydrating skin boosters: micro-injections of hyaluronic acid or other boosters for deep hydration and glow
- Toning or brightening laser: evens pigment and redness (for example, Excel V for redness)
- LED and soothing mask: calms the skin and supports recovery
Each session is adjusted to your skin type and concerns.
BENEFITS
- Deep, lasting hydration
- Smaller-looking pores and smoother texture
- More even skin tone and less dullness
- A natural “lit from within” glow
- Little or no downtime
HOW MANY SESSIONS?
You will usually see a glow after one session. For lasting improvement in texture and hydration, many patients have a course of about 3 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, then maintenance. Visitors to Seoul can have a single intensive session during their stay.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is there downtime after a glass skin facial?
Usually minimal. Some patients have mild redness or tiny injection marks for a day or two, depending on which steps are included.
How long does the glass skin effect last?
The immediate glow lasts days to weeks. Skin booster hydration usually lasts a few months, and a course of treatments gives longer-lasting improvement.
Is a glass skin facial suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Often yes. The protocol is adjusted for sensitive or acne-prone skin after a skin assessment.
Can I get a glass skin facial before a wedding or event?
Yes. We usually recommend scheduling it 3–7 days before the event so any mild redness has settled.
