Glass Facial in Midtown,NYC
Unveiling Radiant, Glass Skin
The Glass Facial Treatment is a cutting-edge aesthetic procedure that utilizes the Secret Duo device from Cutera, combining two powerful technologies: radiofrequency microneedling and a fractional 1540nm erbium glass. This holistic approach offers a comprehensive solution for a wide range of skin concerns, resulting in a noticeably smoother, more luminous complexion – a true "Glass Facial."
How Does the Glass Facial Work?
Radiofrequency Microneedling
Tiny needles create microscopic channels in the skin, triggering the body's natural wound healing response. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, key proteins that provide structure and firmness to the skin. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy is delivered through the needles, heating the deeper layers of the dermis and further enhancing collagen remodeling for skin tightening.
Erbium Glass
This fractional laser delivers precise pulses of energy to the skin's surface. It gently resurfaces the skin, removing damaged outer layers and promoting the growth of new, healthy tissue. The 1540nm wavelength is particularly effective in targeting pigmentation issues, such as sun spots and melasma, while minimizing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Achieving the "Glass Facial" Effect
The immediate result of this treatment is a dramatic improvement in skin radiance and luminosity. With the added innovative laser, this treatment effectively removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, more reflective surface. This creates an instant glow in our new york patients that can be compared to the appearance of polished glass.
