About Glass Skin
Achieving radiant, smooth, and refined skin, commonly referred to as glass skin, requires more than a single treatment. While the Glass Skin Facial at Manhattan Aesthetics, performed with the LaseMD Ultra, delivers visible improvement in tone and texture, long-term maintenance is essential to preserve and enhance your results.
If you’ve been searching for the best Glass Skin Facial in New York City, you’re in the right place. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we help clients every day who want smoother texture, smaller-looking pores, brighter tone, and that unmistakable glow that looks almost reflective. Glass skin isn’t about heavy makeup or filters—it’s about healthy, hydrated, refined skin that looks luminous in any light.
Our signature Glass Skin Facial combines advanced laser technology with customized medical-grade skincare to create real, visible results. We use the powerful LaseMD Ultra laser to improve tone and texture from within—so your glow doesn’t wash off at the end of the day.
With a consistent skincare routine and periodic treatments, your skin can continue to look healthy, hydrated, and luminous.
What is Glass Skin and How Do You Get It?
The term “glass skin” comes from Korean skincare trends and refers to a complexion that looks smooth, poreless, intensely hydrated, and almost translucent. Think radiant, even-toned, and lit-from-within. While many products promise this look, achieving true glass skin requires more than topical skincare alone.
At Manhattan Aesthetics in New York City, our Glass Skin Facial is performed using the LaseMD Ultra, a non-ablative fractional laser. This advanced technology creates controlled microchannels in the skin, which:
- Stimulate collagen production
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Reduce pigmentation and sun damage
- Enhance absorption of customized serums
- Refine pores and smooth fine lines
Immediately after the laser treatment, we apply targeted serums that penetrate deeply through the microchannels. This combination approach is what gives our New York City clients that signature glass-like glow.
Why NYC Clients Love the Glass Skin Facial
Living in New York City is exciting—but it can be tough on your skin. Pollution, stress, long work hours, and seasonal weather changes all contribute to dullness, breakouts, dehydration, and uneven tone.
Many of my clients come in saying:
- “My skin looks tired.”
- “My pores look larger than they used to.”
- “I can’t get that glow no matter what I use.”
The Glass Skin Facial is one of our favorite treatments to recommend because it addresses multiple concerns at once. Furthermore, it’s ideal for busy NYC professionals, brides-to-be, content creators, and anyone who wants their skin to look polished and luminous without heavy makeup.
Plus, it’s non-invasive and requires minimal downtime—perfect for fitting into a packed Manhattan schedule.
What to Expect During Your Glass Skin Facial in New York City
1. Personalized Consultation
Every treatment at Manhattan Aesthetics begins with a consultation. we’ll assess your skin type, concerns, and goals. Whether you’re struggling with pigmentation, fine lines, acne scars, or general dullness, we customize your Glass Skin Facial accordingly.
2. LaseMD Ultra Laser Treatment
The LaseMD Ultra delivers gentle, fractionated laser energy into the skin. Most clients describe the sensation as warm and mildly prickly. Overall, the treatment is well tolerated, and we can apply a topical numbing cream if needed.
The laser:
- Encourages collagen remodeling
- Improves skin clarity
- Targets discoloration
- Smooths rough texture
3. Customized Serum Infusion
Immediately after the laser, we apply targeted serums selected specifically for your skin. Because the microchannels are open, the active ingredients penetrate more effectively than they would with a traditional facial.
4. Post-Treatment Care
After your Glass Skin Facial, your skin may look slightly pink—similar to a mild sunburn—for 24 to 48 hours. Most NYC clients return to work the next day. Then, within a few days, you’ll start noticing smoother texture and a brighter glow.
How to Maintain Your Glass Skin Results
Daily Skincare Routine
Maintaining your Glass Skin Facial results at home is essential. We guide all of my NYC clients through a simple but effective regimen:
- Gentle cleanser to protect your skin barrier
- Hydrating toner or essence
- Vitamin C serum for antioxidant protection
- Hyaluronic acid for hydration
- Medical-grade moisturizer
- Broad-spectrum SPF every single morning
Sunscreen is especially important in New York City, where daily UV exposure contributes to pigmentation and premature aging—even in winter.
Weekly Maintenance
- Hydrating masks once or twice per week
- Gentle exfoliation to prevent buildup
In-Office Treatments
To extend your glow, I often recommend pairing your Glass Skin Facial with:
- Medical-grade facials
- Dermaplaning
- Seasonal laser touch-ups
An annual LaseMD Ultra maintenance session can help sustain collagen production and keep pigmentation under control.
Once you have achieved glass skin results, maintaining them requires a structured plan that includes home care, weekly upkeep, and periodic professional treatments.
Daily Skincare Routine
Consistent daily skincare is essential to preserve your results. Key steps include:
- Gentle cleanser to remove impurities without compromising the skin barrier
- A hydrating toner or essence to prepare the skin for deeper absorption
- Vitamin C or other antioxidant serums to defend against environmental damage
- Moisturizer with humectants such as hyaluronic acid to maintain hydration
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning and reapplied consistently to protect against UV-related pigmentation and aging
Annual Laser Touch-Up
To sustain the deeper benefits of the LaseMD Ultra, consider scheduling a touch-up session once a year. This will help maintain collagen levels, reduce new pigmentation, and restore the radiance associated with the initial treatment.
