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.
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?
Glass skin refers to a complexion that appears exceptionally smooth, even-toned, and deeply hydrated, giving it a reflective, almost transparent quality. Originally popularized by Korean skincare trends, this look reflects optimal skin health and hydration.
At Manhattan Aesthetics, the Glass Skin Facial uses the LaseMD Ultra, a non-ablative fractional laser that creates controlled microchannels in the skin. This process stimulates natural collagen production and enhances absorption of customized serums applied immediately after treatment.
The Best Skincare and Treatment Plan to Maintain Glass Skin
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
Weekly Maintenance
Weekly treatments help reinforce smoothness and hydration:
- Use hydrating masks once or twice a week to replenish moisture
- Incorporate gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and prevent dullness
Periodic Skin Rejuvenation
Professional treatments further enhance your skin’s clarity and texture:
- Medical-grade facials can be performed monthly or seasonally to address specific skin concerns and reinforce hydration
- Dermaplaning helps remove surface buildup and fine vellus hair, leaving the skin visibly smoother and more receptive to skincare products
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.
