Glacē (pronounced “GLASS-ee”) is an advanced facial treatment developed by Candela, the medical device company behind Vbeam and several other established clinical lasers. It combines gentle exfoliation, serum infusion and a dual-mode cupping massage in one treatment, designed to support the smooth, luminous, hydrated look often described as “glass skin”.
Unlike a standard salon facial, each Glacē treatment is tailored to your skin. Your practitioner selects the exfoliation tip and serums to suit your skin type and goals, whether your skin is dry, dull, congested or sensitive.
Glacē can be enjoyed as a standalone facial or as part of a wider skin plan alongside treatments such as UltraClear, Secret RF or skin boosters.
Each Glacē treatment moves through a series of steps in one continuous session.
Glacē can treat the face, neck and décolletage.
Procedure time: 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your tailored protocol
Number of treatments: Single sessions, or every 2 to 4 weeks as a maintenance plan
Anaesthetic: Not required
Side Effects: Minimal; skin may look slightly flushed for a short time
Results: Visible glow straight after treatment 
Duration of Results: Temporary; regular sessions help maintain skin clarity and hydration
Your first visit begins with a consultation to understand your skin, medical history and goals. Your practitioner will then tailor the treatment, selecting the exfoliation tip and serums best suited to your skin. Most patients find Glacē relaxing, and you can apply make-up and return to your normal routine straight afterwards.
Protecting your skin barrier is the main focus after Glacē. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily and follow any skincare advice from your practitioner. If Glacē is combined with another treatment, you will be given aftercare for that treatment too.
Cheek fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, enhance contour, and lift the mid-face area. Using hyaluronic acid-based fillers, the treatment helps to create a more youthful and sculpted appearance by targeting areas that have lost volume due to ageing or weight loss.
Cheek fillers focus on adding volume and lift to the mid-face, enhancing the overall contour and providing support to the skin. Under-eye fillers, on the other hand, specifically target the tear trough area to reduce hollowness and dark circles. Both treatments can either use hyaluronic acid-based fillers or other skin boosting fillers such as polynucleotides.
HA Dermal fillers are remarkably effective for a variety of applications. These include restoring lost volume to areas of the face affected by the natural ageing process, enhancing the structure of the face—for example, augmenting the chin, jawline, or defining the cheekbones—and rejuvenating other areas such as the hands, knees, and smoothing body contours.
The longevity of the results varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual factors such as metabolism. Generally, cheek fillers can last between 12-18 months with collagen stimulators lasting longer. This varies depending on the product utilised so its best to consult the team to understand what is right for you.
There is minimal downtime associated with these treatments. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure. However, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous activities, alcohol, and exposure to extreme temperatures for the first 24-48 hours.
