Glazing, otherwise known as the “glass facial,” is an increasingly popular treatment for people who are looking for stunning skin without going under the knife.
What Is a Glass Facial?
The glass skin facial is an injectable treatment that uses very small microneedles to inject plasma and nutrients into the skin. It also uses resurfacing technology. This process is designed to provide hydration to the skin, giving it a smooth, revitalized, and “glassy” effect. It can be used as a preventative treatment to delay visible signs of aging, or as a way to address various skin concerns like skin texture, acne scars, dryness, and more. It is also known to reduce pore size and tighten the skin, giving patients a stunning glow. The plasma can also aid in the production of collagen, which is essential for maintaining gorgeous, glowing skin. This treatment is perfect if you’re looking to achieve an unreal glow before an event.
Who Is a Candidate for a Glass Facial?
As with every treatment or procedure, not everyone is a good candidate for this cosmetic and anti-aging treatment. People who receive this facial treatment should be relatively healthy individuals who are determined to maintain proper skin hygiene and maintenance. Candidates are at least 18 years in age and are ready to discuss medical history, expectations, and concerns surrounding this treatment so we can make sure this is the right next step for you. Smokers are not ideal candidates for a glass facial.
What to Expect During the Glass Facial Process
Our team will discuss preparation requirements with you during your consultation so you can be ready to go on the day of your appointment. Leading up to this treatment, you should try to avoid anti-inflammatory medications, as they can lead to excess bleeding. You might be given instructions to briefly stop taking other medications, too. You might need to avoid certain products, such as retinoids and exfoliants, for a few days prior to the treatment. You should also refrain from shaving or waxing the area.
The skin’s surface will first be thoroughly cleaned. Then, a topical numbing cream will be applied topically to make sure you’re comfortable during the treatment. A specialized device will be used to create tiny incisions, through which the treatment is injected into the body. The most common active ingredient is hyaluronic acid, like that found in dermal fillers. This can help hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. Botox may also be used.
Glass Facial Aftercare
Results will be able to be seen immediately and should continue to improve over the course of the following week. Avoid strenuous activity for a few days. Be prepared to take it easy during the early stages of recovery. Try to stop yourself from touching the treated area more than necessary. Our team will go over specific recovery instructions with you so you can take your care into your own hands and make sure you’re on a smooth journey to recovery and beautiful results.
