About this treatment
What it does
Hydration-led treatments that improve how light reflects off the skin — the finish Korean dermatology calls glass skin. It is a barrier and water-content result, not a bleaching one.
How it works
Micro-injected or infused hyaluronic acid holds water in the dermis while the barrier is repaired on the surface. Better-hydrated skin scatters less light, which is what reads as glow.
What to expect
Visible from the first week, building over the course. Downtime: none to minimal. small bumps or redness settle within a few hours to a day.. Typically 3–4 sessions, 3–4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 4–6 months.
Looking after it
Leave the skin bare for 12 hours — no makeup over injection points. No sauna, steam or heavy exercise for 24 hours. Daily SPF 50, reapplied.
