What Concerns Can the Korean Glass Facial Address?
This treatment is commonly chosen by clients seeking:
- Overall skin glow and radiance — the “lit from within” look
- Improved skin texture and smoothness
- Enhanced hydration that lasts beyond a single day
- Reduction in fine surface lines and pore appearance
- Skin that looks refreshed and healthy without obvious “work”
- Pre-event skin preparation for a natural, dewy finish
- A complement to other treatments (needling, peels, HIFU)
If your primary concern is deep wrinkles, significant volume loss, or skin laxity, we may recommend alternative treatments during consultation.

What Is a Korean Glass Facial?
The Korean Glass Facial is a clinical-grade injectable treatment inspired by the Korean beauty philosophy of achieving flawless, translucent-looking skin — often described as “glass skin.”
Unlike a traditional facial that works on the surface, this treatment delivers active ingredients beneath the skin through precise microinjections. The protocol combines multiple elements in one session, which may include polynucleotides (salmon DNA fragments), hyaluronic acid for hydration, and small doses of wrinkle relaxer to refine skin texture at a micro level.
The result is a treatment that addresses hydration, texture, radiance, and refinement simultaneously — rather than targeting just one concern.
This is not a basic facial. It’s a medical aesthetic treatment administered by a qualified health professional. A consultation is required to confirm suitability and create a tailored plan.
Is this the same as a polynucleotide facial?
No. The Korean Glass Facial combines polynucleotides with other ingredients (including HA and wrinkle relaxer) in a multi-step protocol. A polynucleotide facial ($699) focuses on the regenerative benefits of polynucleotides alone.

What Makes It Special?
A traditional facial cleanses, exfoliates, and applies products to the skin’s surface. Results are temporary and primarily cosmetic.
The Korean Glass Facial works beneath the surface through injectable delivery, meaning active ingredients reach the dermal layers where they can have a more meaningful effect on skin quality.
Key differences:
- Injectable delivery — active ingredients are placed beneath the skin, not just on top
- Multi-ingredient protocol — combines polynucleotides, HA, and wrinkle relaxer in one session
- Cumulative results — skin quality improves over days and weeks as cellular renewal responds
- Clinical setting — administered by an AHPRA-registered health professional
- Tailored approach — your practitioner adjusts the protocol based on your skin assessment
Who is it suitable for?
Most adults wanting to improve skin glow, texture, and hydration. Consultation required. Not suitable for those with fish/seafood allergies or during pregnancy.

What is “glass skin”?
Glass skin refers to a complexion that appears smooth, dewy, and translucent — as if glowing from within. It originates from Korean beauty culture and has become one of the most sought-after skin goals worldwide.
Is there downtime?
Minimal. Most clients experience mild redness or small bumps for 1–2 days.
Is the Korean Glass Facial painful?
Topical numbing cream can be applied. Most clients describe the microinjections as a mild prickling sensation — generally well tolerated.
What’s the difference between this and a HydraFacial?
A HydraFacial ($149–$189) cleanses and hydrates the skin’s surface — no needles involved. The Korean Glass Facial ($999) delivers ingredients beneath the skin via injection for deeper, longer-lasting effects. They complement each other beautifully.
Is this available for men?
Absolutely. Skin quality concerns are universal. The Korean Glass Facial is suitable for all genders.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
We recommend avoiding makeup for 12 hours after treatment. After that, you can resume your normal routine.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes. This pairs well with HydraFacial (for surface prep), LED therapy (for enhanced healing), and skin needling. Your practitioner will advise on timing.
How long do results last?
Many clients enjoy the glass skin effect for several weeks to months after completing a course. Maintenance sessions help sustain results.
What ingredients are in the treatment?
The protocol may include polynucleotides (salmon DNA fragments), hyaluronic acid, and small amounts of wrinkle relaxer. The exact formulation is tailored during consultation. Note: wrinkle relaxer is a prescription medicine — product details are discussed in consultation per TGA requirements.
