Frequently Asked Questions About Our Korean Glass Facial
What is a Korean Glass Facial?
A Korean Glass Facial is a multi-step treatment inspired by Korean skincare techniques. It combines deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, advanced hydration and collagen-boosting technology to leave your skin looking smoother, brighter and beautifully radiant with a healthy glass-like glow.
What is "glass skin"?
Glass skin refers to a complexion that looks exceptionally smooth, hydrated and luminous, with a healthy, dewy finish. It’s achieved through consistent hydration and treatments that improve the skin’s texture and radiance.
Is the treatment suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the treatment can be adapted for many sensitive skin types. Your skin will be assessed during your consultation, and each step will be tailored to suit your skin’s needs
What skin concerns does it help with?
The treatment can help improve:
- Dull skin
- Dehydration
- Uneven skin tone
- Fine lines
- Rough texture
- Enlarged pores
- Mild congestion
- Loss of radiance
Does the treatment hurt?
No. Most clients find the treatment extremely relaxing. You may feel gentle suction during hydrodermabrasion and a warming sensation during radio frequency.
Will I see results immediately?
You’ll notice an instant improvement in your skin’s hydration, radiance and smoothness as soon as you leave your appointment.
Over the following 24–48 hours, your skin often appears even brighter and more luminous as the hydrating ingredients continue to absorb, helping create the signature glass skin glow.
How long do results last?
Results typically last one to two weeks, depending on your skin type, skincare routine and lifestyle. Regular monthly treatments can help maintain long-term improvements in hydration and skin texture.
How often should I have a Glass Skin Facial?
For healthy, glowing skin all year round, we recommend having a Korean Glass Facial every 4–6 weeks. If you’re preparing for a wedding, holiday or special occasion, a treatment 2–3 days beforehand can help your skin look its absolute best.
Can I wear Makeup after a Glass Skin Facial?
You can, but we recommend allowing your skin to breathe for the rest of the day whenever possible to maximise the benefits of the treatment.
Is there any recovery time after a Korean Glass Facial?
There’s little to no downtime, so you can return to your normal routine straight after your appointment. Your skin may appear slightly pink for a short time, particularly if you’ve had exfoliation, but this usually settles within a few hours, leaving behind a fresh, healthy glow.
Will my skin peel after a Korean Glass Facial?
No. Unlike some chemical peels, a Korean Glass Facial isn’t designed to make your skin peel. The focus is on hydration, radiance and improving skin texture, so most clients simply enjoy smoother, healthier-looking skin with no visible peeling.

Step 1
Skin Analysis
Every facial at The Face Lab begins with a thorough skin analysis to assess hydration levels, sensitivity, congestion and your skin goals. This allows the facial to be tailored specifically to your skin.
Step 2
Double Cleanse
A double-cleanse with Korean Medicube cleanser to lift makeup and sebum, followed by a Medicube Hypochlorous Acid spray Cleanse to clear pores.
5mins
Step 3
Korean Mud Mask
The next step involves the Viral Medicube mud mask to draw out all those unsightly blackheads.
As the mask works its magic on the T zone, an exfoliating Medicube diamond shot serum is applied to the face, neck and decolletage.
10mins
Step 4
Hydrodermabrasion
Using our hydrodermabrasion device, the skin is gently exfoliated while simultaneously cleansing pores and infusing hydrating active ingredients.
This removes dead skin cells, helps reduce congestion and instantly leaves the complexion smoother and brighter.
15mins
Step 5
Korean Oxygen Bubble Mask + Oxygen Therapy
A luxurious Korean Medicube oxygenating bubble mask creates thousands of micro-bubbles that gently lift away impurities while oxygenating the skin’s surface.
This step helps leave the complexion looking brighter, smoother and visibly revitalised.
5mins
Step 6
Multi-Layer Korean Serum Infusion
A carefully selected combination of Korean-inspired serums is layered onto the skin.
Serums include the Medicube Exosome Shot PDRN Pink Collagen, Medicube Retinol Boosting Serum, Medicube Triple Collagen Serum, and Medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Peptide Serum

Step 7
Ultrasonic Infusion
Ultrasonic technology gently encourages the active ingredients to penetrate more effectively while stimulating the skin without discomfort.
5mins
Step 8
Radio Frequency Tightening
Gentle radio frequency energy warms the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging new collagen and elastin production while improving circulation. This helps firm the skin, soften fine lines, and create the lifted, luminous finish that Korean Glass Skin treatments are known for.
Medicube NAD EGF Firming Serum for Face & Neck is used alongside the gliding gel

Step 9
Cooling Cryo Hammer + Mask
A Korean Medicube collagen mask is then applied to the face, while the cold hammer is used to soothe the skin, reduce redness, tighten the appearance of pores and lock in hydration.
10 mins
Step 10
LED Red Light Therapy + Mask
A clear Medicube collagen jelly mask is applied to the face.
Red LED light then helps support collagen production, calm inflammation and promote healthier-looking skin while enhancing the post-treatment glow.
10mins
Step 11
Korean Contour Massage
A relaxing Korean facial massage combines lifting and lymphatic drainage techniques to improve circulation, reduce puffiness and encourage a naturally radiant glow.
Korean contouring facial massage uses Medicube AGE-R Glutathione Glow Serum and deep manual pressure, lymphatic drainage, and bone-stimulation techniques like Golki to sculpt the face, reduce puffiness, and improve symmetry.
