What is Glacē?

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.

Glacē may help improve the appearance of:

  • Dull, tired-looking skin
  • Dehydrated skin
  • Rough or uneven skin texture
  • Congested pores
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Facial puffiness (temporary)

Glacē Technology

Each Glacē treatment moves through a series of steps in one continuous session.

  1. Cleanse and exfoliate. Single-use, diamond-integrated tips gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, lifting away dead skin cells and buildup without harsh abrasives.
  2. Infuse. A two-phase serum system works alongside exfoliation. The first phase cleanses and helps clear congested pores, while the second infuses nourishing, hydrating serums chosen for your skin.
  3. Sculpt and drain. A dual-mode cupping massage treats both sides of the face at once. One mode supports lymphatic drainage to reduce the look of puffiness, and the other gives a temporarily more sculpted appearance.
  4. Calm and finish. A soothing finishing step completes the treatment, designed to calm the skin and enhance its natural glow. [Clinic to confirm: LED, mask or skin-renewal wands]

Glacē can treat the face, neck and décolletage.

Your Glacē appointment

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.

After your treatment

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.

Glacē Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Contact our team who will be happy to answer any queries or concerns.

When will Glacē be available at Skin Medical?

We are launching Glacē with a VIP event on Saturday 14 November. Treatments will be bookable from the launch. Register your interest through our contact form and our team will be in touch with availability, pricing and any launch offers.

How do you pronounce Glacē?

Glacē is pronounced “GLASS-ee”. The name reflects the “glass skin” look the treatment is designed to support: skin that looks smooth, clear, hydrated and luminous.

Does Glacē hurt?

Glacē is designed to be comfortable, and most patients find it relaxing. The exfoliation is gentle and no numbing cream is needed. If anything feels uncomfortable, your practitioner can adjust the treatment as you go.

When will I see results?

Many patients notice smoother, brighter and more hydrated-looking skin straight after their first session. These effects are temporary, so regular treatments are usually recommended to help maintain skin clarity and glow. Results vary from person to person.

How often should I have Glacē?

Glacē can be booked as a one-off treatment, for example before an event, or as part of a regular skin maintenance plan. Your practitioner will recommend how often to return based on your skin and goals.

Is there any downtime?

Glacē has little to no downtime. Most patients can apply make-up and return to work or social plans straight after treatment. Your practitioner will advise you to use a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your skin.

How is Glacē different from HydraFacial?

Both treatments cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate the skin. Glacē adds single-use diamond-integrated exfoliation tips and a dual-mode cupping massage to support drainage and a temporarily sculpted look. Both are available at Skin Medical, and our team can help you decide which suits your skin best.

Can Glacē be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Glacē can be used on its own or alongside other treatments such as laser, radiofrequency microneedling or injectables. Your practitioner will advise on timing and whether treatments can be done on the same day.
