Is Glacē™ Painful?

Most patients find Glacē™ to be very comfortable. The treatment feels like gentle exfoliation with light suction, and many describe it as refreshing. Because hydration is infused throughout the process, irritation is minimal. This makes Glacē an excellent option for those seeking a relaxing yet effective treatment.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Your recommended number of Glacē™ sessions depends on your goals. Many patients start with a series of 2 treatments spaced a few weeks apart to improve texture and boost hydration. Once you achieve your desired results, maintenance sessions every few months help keep the skin bright and clear. We will create a schedule tailored to your skin needs.

How Long Until I See the Results?

You will likely see brighter, smoother skin immediately after your first Glacē™ treatment. The hydrating serums continue absorbing into the skin over the next few days, enhancing your glow even further. For long-term concerns such as congestion or uneven tone, a series of treatments may yield the best results. Regular visits keep your complexion looking healthy and refreshed.

Can I Combine Glacē™ with Other Procedures?

Yes, Glacē™ can be safely paired with other nonsurgical treatments including BOTOX or dermal fillers . Combining treatments can boost overall results and help you achieve more comprehensive skin rejuvenation when done to prep the skin for a laser and or 2 weeks after your laser treatment to hydrate the skin and remove any dead skin cells . During your consultation, we will recommend safe and effective pairings based on your skin type and goals.
