The Glass Facial Treatment: Revolutionising Microneedling for Smooth and Glowing Skin

There is a new trend in town called the Glass Facial treatment. In the ever-evolving realm of aesthetic advancements, the pursuit of ageless beauty takes on new dimensions with each groundbreaking innovation. The Glass Facial Treatment is a non-invasive cosmetic marvel that seamlessly blends the benefits of skin boosters, microneedling, and nutrient infusion. This treatment elevates your skincare routine by offering deep hydration and a transformative improvement in overall skin appearance.
Mr. Allen Rezai, leading Consultant Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon in Harley Street, London and in the UAE, explains in this article how Glass Facial elevates your anti-ageing routine with this groundbreaking treatment.

WHAT IS A GLASS FACIAL?

The glass facial involves the use of fine microneedles to perform skin booster micro-injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) and a micro-dose of toxin. These injections are combined with resurfacing modalities, nutrients, and plasma-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM). The solution is infused into the skin using a “mini injector,” ensuring that it reaches the depth required for optimal correction without losing the benefits of the product. This procedure not only deeply hydrates the skin but also makes it appear plumper, smoother, and more radiant.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A GLASS FACIAL?

This procedure is well-suited for individuals seeking to achieve:
Intensive skin hydration at a deep level

• Improved hydration, clarity, refined pores, and revitalised skin
• Enhanced skin texture and tone through the application of dermal hyaluronic acid
• Smoothing of wrinkles with a micro-dose of toxin solution
• Boosts collagen production by incorporating patient’s own plasma-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM)
• Reduction of sebum production in oily skin and T zones
• Treatment of the periorbital region, face, neck, and décolletage

Mr. Allen Rezai highlights that the Glass Facial treatment is not intended to replace Anti-Wrinkle Injections or Dermal Filler Procedures; rather, it complements rejuvenation treatments to enhance overall skin health. The Glass Facial treatment caters to individuals of all genders and skin types, offering a versatile solution for addressing a spectrum of skin concerns. It proves to be an adaptable option for many individuals in pursuit of anti-ageing or hydrating skin treatments. Furthermore, those in their 20s and 30s can derive preventive benefits from this procedure for a healthy and youthful skin radiance. For optimal results, the procedure can be repeated as frequently as every 6-12 weeks, and undergoing multiple sessions throughout the year contributes to the ongoing improvement of long-term skin quality.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING GLASS FACIAL TREATMENT?

To ensure the patient’s utmost comfort, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the targeted area, providing relief throughout the procedure. The technology employed in the Glass Facial treatment utilises a cutting edge device with micro-needles and suction. This advanced approach is designed to delicately stimulate cell renewal in the upper layer of the skin, employing small gentle punctures. Simultaneously, the infusion of hyaluronic acid, microdose toxin, and PRFM is precisely dispersed into the dermis, optimising the treatment’s efficacy and enhancing overall results. Mild redness and swelling is expected following the treatment, however this will commonly resolve within 7 days.

EXPERT’S ADVISE:

According to Mr. Allen Rezai of SkinCision By Allen Rezai MD, it’s important to note that using diluted or undiluted hyaluronic acid dermal fillers and botulinum toxin in the Glass Facial treatment is considered an off-label use. Although the FDA has not given specific approval for this purpose, medical professionals have the flexibility to use their judgment and discretion. Microinjections of dermal fillers can hydrate the skin, minimise fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance texture when applied in a specific pattern. Likewise, microinjections of botulinum toxin have demonstrated promising effects in reducing enlarged pores, controlling sebum production, alleviating redness, and enhancing overall skin texture.
