At its core, the glass skin facial focuses on achieving ultra-smooth skin texture, refined pores, and a luminous, hydrated finish that reflects light—creating the coveted “glass skin” effect.
This advanced treatment addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including uneven skin texture, acne scars, dull skin, and fine lines and wrinkles. By combining innovative techniques such as double cleanse, micro needling, and microdermabrasion, the Glass Skin Facial gently removes dead skin cells, boosts collagen production, and infuses the skin with powerful antioxidants and vitamins. The result is a smoother, firmer, and more even complexion with an instant glow and long-lasting results.

This not only enhances skin tone and texture but also helps to reduce redness, minimize the appearance of pores, and support overall skin health.

More About the Korean Glass Skin Facial Treatment
The Korean Glass Facial at Montrose London fuses time-honoured Korean beauty principles with state-of-the-art clinical skincare. The treatment begins with a double cleanse to remove impurities, followed by gentle exfoliation using natural enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells without irritation.
An optional bespoke peel is then applied to gently resurface and refine the complexion. Using a curated blend of lactic, salicylic, mandelic, and gluconolactone acids, the treatment is tailored precisely to your skin’s needs. A mild tingling sensation may be experienced as dull, dead skin cells are lifted away to reveal a brighter, smoother, and more radiant complexion — all with no downtime, thanks to the gentle yet effective formulation.
This is followed by a luxurious lifting and toning facial massage, expertly designed to sculpt and reawaken the facial contours. The technique works deep into the facial muscles, restoring firmness and promoting a natural lift while providing a deeply indulgent, sensorial experience.
Next, the skin is infused with a customised Korean treatment system — a synergy of advanced formulations that nourish, brighten, and fortify the skin barrier.
Sizopirin – A rejuvenating complex enriched with silk protein and epidermal growth factors to support renewal and visibly smooth fine lines.
DermaHydro – A deeply hydrating elixir of marine collagen and peptides, leaving the skin plump, supple, and youthfully luminous.
Varocobin C – A radiance-enhancing infusion of brightening and moisture-locking actives for a healthy, luminous glow.
A cooling mask enriched with botanical extracts completes the ritual, sealing in hydration and amplifying your skin’s natural luminosity, followed by the application of a moisturiser as the final step.
The result is skin that feels velvety-smooth, hydrated from within, and gleaming with the signature “glass skin” clarity.

Questions you may have
“Glass skin” refers to a visibly smooth, luminous, and hydrated complexion that appears clear and reflective, like glass. This coveted look is characterized by an even skin tone, minimal pores, and a radiant glow that gives the skin a healthy, youthful appearance. Achieving glass skin involves deep hydration, exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, and treatments that boost collagen production to improve skin texture and firmness.
Yes. The treatment uses gentle, nourishing products that can be adapted for sensitive or reactive skin types. However, glass facials are not recommended for individuals with severe acne and rosacea, certain skin infections, or known allergies to ingredients used in the treatment. Your practitioner will tailor the facial to your skin’s unique needs to ensure a personalised experience that maximizes benefits while minimizing any potential sensitivity or swelling.
You’ll notice immediate improvement in glow, hydration, and texture after one session, with enhanced results after a series of treatments. Results from a glass facial may improve over several days and are intended for different skin types looking for hydration. With continued sessions, you can expect long-lasting results including improved skin tone, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a visibly firmer, more youthful complexion.
You won’t need to — but if you choose to, makeup will apply more smoothly and evenly after the treatment. The treatment’s ability to refine pores and smooth uneven skin texture creates an ideal canvas for makeup application. Many clients enjoy the glowing complexion so much that they prefer to go makeup-free, embracing their natural skin health and radiance.
The results of a glass facial can be both immediate and long-lasting, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and the number of treatments you undergo. Typically, you will notice an instant glow and improved hydration right after the session, with your skin appearing smoother, plumper, and more radiant. This initial effect often lasts for several days.
For sustained benefits, including enhanced skin texture, reduced fine lines, and a more even complexion, regular treatments are recommended. Most practitioners suggest scheduling glass facial sessions every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain and build upon the results. With consistent care and follow-up treatments, the skin’s overall health and appearance continue to improve over time, providing a lasting “glass skin” effect that reflects optimal hydration and a youthful glow.
It’s also important to follow post-treatment advice, such as avoiding harsh exfoliants and protecting your skin from sun exposure, to prolong the benefits of your glass facial. Incorporating a gentle skincare routine with quality moisturisers and sun protection will help maintain the treatment’s effects and support ongoing skin health.

Thank you
Overall a disappointing experience, sterile and cold enough environment made bearable only by the maximalist decor. No serenity as portrayed in marketing features ie. Lack of music As a director within a private healthcare setting, very poor customer experience and not one I will be recommending to our own clientele.
I was advised if unhappy with results in 2 weeks to come back for a top up but work restrictions meant I did not attend for 4 weeks but was told that this was chargeable: disappointing again with lack of appreciation or flexibility for working professionals. No follow up provided or courtesy call as is often given at alternative aesthetic clinics.
Dr. Noy has been incredible from start to finish. It is a joy to go to this beautiful clinic, and care is second to none.
