Quick answer

What is a glass skin facial?

A glass skin facial is a customised skin treatment aimed at the smooth, clear and luminous look known as Korean glass skin. It focuses on deep hydration, gentle exfoliation and skin rejuvenation rather than on a single concern.

At Umi Clinic in Myeongdong, Seoul, the programme is built from your skin consultation and may combine hydration therapy, skin boosters, gentle resurfacing, pore-refining and brightening care, or collagen-stimulating treatments.

Your visit

How Glass skin facial works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

  1. Skin consultation

    The doctor checks hydration, pores, texture and sensitivity to decide which steps your skin needs.

  2. Cleanse and gentle exfoliation

    Dead skin cells are lifted gently so the skin reflects light more evenly.

  3. Hydration and boosters

    Hydrating, brightening or booster steps are added according to your skin.

  4. Soothe and protect

    A calming finish and sunscreen, with home-care advice for your trip.

FAQ

Glass skin facial questions

What is Korean glass skin?

It describes very clear, smooth and well-hydrated skin that reflects light evenly, as if it were glass.

Does a glass skin facial have downtime?

Usually little or none. If injectable boosters or resurfacing are included, mild redness or small bumps may last a day or two.

How many sessions do I need?

You may see a glow after one visit, but a short series usually gives longer-lasting hydration and smoother texture.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Often yes, with gentler steps. The doctor adjusts the programme after checking your skin.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
