What does
Glass Skin Facial
target?

Dull complexion, dehydrated skin, uneven texture, enlarged pores, loss of radiance, and anyone who wants that lit-from-within glow associated with Korean skincare. This is our most popular facial and the treatment that defines our K-Beauty approach.

How does

work?

Treatment begins with a thorough cleanse followed by a revitalizing oxygen infusion that restores radiance and preps the skin for absorption. Multiple layers of hydrating serums, essences, and K-Beauty actives are applied using techniques that maximize penetration. The result is deeply hydrated, plump skin with a dewy, translucent finish.

How much does a Glass Skin Facial cost in Lincoln Park?

What is a Glass Skin Facial and how is it different from a regular facial?

A Glass Skin Facial is a multi-step Korean-inspired treatment focused on layered hydration, brightening, and barrier repair to achieve the luminous, poreless 'glass skin' finish. Unlike regular facials that often focus on extractions or aggressive exfoliation, the Glass Skin Facial prioritizes deep nourishment with clinical actives like EGF, glutathione, snail mucin, and PDRN for long-lasting skin health and glow.

Is the Glass Skin Facial good for sensitive skin?

Yes. The Glass Skin Facial is specifically designed to be gentle on all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin. Every step is customized to your skin's condition, and we use calming, barrier-supporting ingredients to avoid irritation. It's one of our most popular facials for clients with redness-prone or easily sensitized skin.

How often should I get a Glass Skin Facial?

For optimal results, we recommend Glass Skin Facials every 4–6 weeks, aligned with your skin's natural renewal cycle. Many clients maintain their glow with monthly sessions through our membership program. For event prep, your esthetician may recommend treatments 3–5 days before the event.

Is there any downtime after a Glass Skin Facial?

No downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately, including wearing makeup. Most clients leave with an instant glow that continues improving over 72 hours as the active ingredients work beneath the surface. It's often called a 'lunchtime facial' because it fits easily into a busy schedule.

Past Client Experiences

"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."

"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."

"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

Signature from Annie Y.
Austin, TX

"Outstanding service and spa."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

Signature from Ashley R.
Chicago, IL

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

Signature from Yuxin Z.
Chicago, IL

"The spa was clean, relaxing, and welcoming. My skin feels so smooth and fresh, and I left glowing."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

Signature from Gabrielle B.
Chicago, IL

"I am so grateful that I did my facial treatment at Better Med Spa, the place is very cozy and they are all professional with a warm personality."

"I had my facial treatment with Hailey. She provided me with comprehensive information about facial and its effects on my skin. I’m so happy, satisfied and delighted with the result. Her kindness and outstanding professionalism are truly INCREDIBLE."

Signature from Loreme R.

"From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. I noticed an immediate glow to my skin and am excited to see the long-term results as my skin continues to heal. Highly recommend!"

"My esthetician was incredibly nice and took the time to explain the entire process to me, which really put me at ease. I appreciated how she tailored the treatment to my skin's needs, ensuring I received the best possible results. After the session, she provided me with thorough aftercare instructions, which I found very helpful."

Signature from Cindy T.

"I went in with no clear expectations because it isn't something that I've ever done before. I will definitely be doing it again every time I'm in Chicago for another visit."

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."

Signature from Jacob B.

"Loved my experience at Better Med Spa! Super friendly, very informative, and excellent at what they do."

How the Glass Skin Facial Works

Born from the cutting-edge innovation of Korean skincare, the Glass Skin Facial begins with a deep cleanse and detailed skin analysis to prep your complexion. Hydrating essences and nutrient-rich serums — using advanced Korean ingredients like EGF, snail mucin, glutathione, and PDRN — are layered for deep moisture using K-Beauty delivery techniques. Gentle exfoliation smooths texture, while soothing masks nourish and brighten. The result: luminous, clear, and ultra-refreshed skin that reflects the iconic Korean glass skin glow.

What the Glass Skin Facial Targets

  • Dullness and dehydration: Multi-step hydration restores plump, dewy skin
  • Uneven tone and loss of radiance: Brightening actives like glutathione and arbutin even complexion
  • Fine lines and early aging signs: EGF and peptides support cell renewal and collagen
  • Rough or textured skin: Gentle exfoliation refines surface for a smooth finish
  • Visible pores and congestion: Deep cleansing and barrier repair minimize pore appearance
  • Redness and sensitivity: Calming botanicals and snail mucin soothe reactive skin

Glass Skin Facial Benefits

  • Remarkably radiant, "glass-like" glow visible immediately
  • Deep hydration for plump, soft, and supple skin
  • Minimized pores and visibly smoother texture
  • More even skin tone with reduced redness or spots
  • Rested, fresh finish — no makeup required
  • Zero downtime with cumulative results from regular treatments
  • Results continue improving over 72 hours as actives work beneath the surface

What to Expect at Your Appointment

  1. Skin analysis and consultation: Your esthetician evaluates your skin type, concerns, and goals to customize every step of the facial.
  2. Deep cleansing: Gentle, non-stripping cleansers remove makeup, SPF, and pollution without disrupting your barrier.
  3. Exfoliation: Dermaplaning or gentle enzymatic exfoliation sweeps away dead skin cells for a smooth, receptive canvas.
  4. Treatment layers: Hydrating essences, brightening serums, and clinical actives (EGF, glutathione, snail mucin, PDRN) are layered using K-Beauty techniques for maximum absorption.
  5. Hydro-jelly mask: A collagen-rich cooling mask locks in all active ingredients and delivers deep hydration.
  6. Finishing care + SPF: Moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen protect your fresh glow as you step back into the city.

Most clients leave feeling relaxed, with skin that looks dewy and refreshed immediately. Results continue improving over the following 72 hours.

  • Dry, dehydrated skin: Ideal for restoring plumpness and glow after Chicago's dry winters
