About the treatment

What is Korean Glass Skin?

New to the term? Here is what the treatment does, where it comes from and who it is for.

What it does

The aim is skin that looks smooth, hydrated, fresh and radiant, with a glass-like sheen. The main result is an immediate glow and hydration, with soft, smooth skin and a fresh appearance.

Where it comes from

The treatment is inspired by the Korean skincare philosophy. Skin is treated in layers, with steps that build on each other rather than one product doing everything. This idea runs through the whole treatment, from the first cleanse to sun protection at the end. Korean beauty, with a touch of luxury.

Who it is for

For anyone who loves smooth, well-cared-for, radiant skin, and as preparation for a special occasion. If you are new to Korean skincare, this is a gentle starting point: your skin gets used to the products first, with the microneedling version a natural next step.

When we would rather not do the treatment is explained below under suitability.

The treatment

A smooth, fresh base

Dermaplaning uses a specialised sterile blade to professionally remove the surface layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair.

Your skin immediately feels smoother, softer and fresher, creating a beautifully even base for the skincare that follows. It gives your skin a natural glow and allows skincare to be spread more evenly.

The ritual

The nine steps

This is how the treatment unfolds, from cleansing to sun protection. Each step explains what happens and why.

1–3 of 9

  1. 01

    Double cleanse

    A gentle milk-based cleanser, applied in two rounds. This fully removes make-up, sunscreen and sebum without drying your skin.

  2. 02

    Exosome Bubble Essence

    A foaming product that restores your skin’s moisture balance and pH. You feel a light tingling as it works.

  3. 03

    Dermaplaning

    We use a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair. Your skin immediately feels smoother and is prepared for better absorption of the products.

  4. 04

    Exosome Bubble Essence

    A second round, now on freshly exfoliated skin, to remove everything that has been loosened.

  5. 05

    Serum with an exosome boost

    The active layer: colostrum exosomes, collagen and hyaluronic acid are applied to prepared skin, where they can work at their best. Fine lines and pigmentation are targeted.

  6. 06

    Sheet mask

    A wonderfully cooling mask that encourages your skin to absorb all the active ingredients, with a lifting and firming effect. The mask stays on for a while; there is nothing you need to do in the meantime.

  7. 07

    Day cream

    Seals moisture into your skin and supports the skin barrier.

  8. 08

    Powder cream

    Refines pores, improves skin texture and leaves your skin instantly smooth and even.

  9. 09

    SPF

    Essential after exfoliation: your skin is more sensitive to the sun, so you leave with protection in place.

The formula

The power of the ingredients

The formula combines six active ingredients often used together in Korean skincare. Here is what each one does.

Colostrum exosomes01

An innovative combination used in advanced skincare to support well-cared-for, smooth-looking skin.

Collagen02

Helps your skin feel comfortable and supple and contributes to a fuller, well-cared-for appearance.

Hyaluronic acid03

A powerful moisture-binding ingredient that deeply hydrates your skin, helps it retain moisture and keeps it feeling comfortable.

Niacinamide04

A versatile ingredient that contributes to a more even-looking complexion and supports a healthy skin barrier.

Adenosine05

A popular ingredient in Korean skincare, used for a smoother, more refined-looking skin surface.

Panthenol06

Conditions your skin and helps it feel soft, supple and comfortable.

The result

An even glow, soft skin and a fresh appearance you can see straight away.

Intensive hydration that lasts. Perfect preparation for a special occasion.

Frequently asked questions about Facial Korean Glass Skin Dermaplaning

Is dermaplaning the same as shaving your face?

No. With dermaplaning we use a sterile blade to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and the fine vellus hairs. It is first and foremost an exfoliation: your skin is instantly smoother and absorbs the products that follow much better. The vellus hairs do not grow back thicker or darker.

What are the downsides of dermaplaning?

After the treatment your skin is more sensitive to the sun, so you leave with SPF on and avoid sunbeds. For two weeks you skip scrubs, peels, retinol and acids. We do not perform the treatment if you have an active skin infection, acne, eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area, or if you take Roaccutane.

How often can you have dermaplaning?

That depends on your skin; we discuss what suits you during the intake. If you would like a course, we start with this dermaplaning version so your skin gets used to the Korean products, and follow with the Korean Glass Skin Microneedling a few weeks later.

What is the difference with Korean Glass Skin Microneedling?

Both treatments use the same Korean formula with colostrum exosomes, collagen, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. The dermaplaning version exfoliates with a blade; the microneedling version delivers the serum deeper into the skin through fine microchannels. Dermaplaning is the gentle start, microneedling the more intensive next step.
