General

What exactly is Korean Glass Skin?

A facial based on the Korean skincare philosophy. Your skin is treated in layers, with the aim of making it look smooth, hydrated, fresh and radiant. The result: the unlimited glow.

Can I book a course of treatments?

Yes, we recommend it. We start with the dermaplaning version so your skin can get used to the Korean products. Microneedling follows a few weeks later. You can, of course, book individual treatments too.

When is a treatment unsuitable?

If you have an active skin infection or acne, take Roaccutane, have an allergy to peptides or cow’s milk, eczema or psoriasis, skin cancer or an open wound. Unsure? Get in touch and we will talk it through together.

What should I do after the treatment?

Avoid direct sunlight, skip scrubs and peels for a week, apply SPF daily and keep your skin well hydrated.

Is dermaplaning the same as shaving your face?

No. With dermaplaning we use a sterile blade to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and the fine vellus hairs. It is first and foremost an exfoliation: your skin is instantly smoother and absorbs the products that follow much better. The vellus hairs do not grow back thicker or darker.

What are the downsides of dermaplaning?

After the treatment your skin is more sensitive to the sun, so you leave with SPF on and avoid sunbeds. For two weeks you skip scrubs, peels, retinol and acids. We do not perform the treatment if you have an active skin infection, acne, eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area, or if you take Roaccutane.

How often can you have dermaplaning?

That depends on your skin; we discuss what suits you during the intake. If you would like a course, we start with this dermaplaning version so your skin gets used to the Korean products, and follow with the Korean Glass Skin Microneedling a few weeks later.

What is the difference with Korean Glass Skin Microneedling?

Both treatments use the same Korean formula with colostrum exosomes, collagen, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. The dermaplaning version exfoliates with a blade; the microneedling version delivers the serum deeper into the skin through fine microchannels. Dermaplaning is the gentle start, microneedling the more intensive next step.

What exactly does microneedling do?

Fine needles create microchannels in the skin. This stimulates the skin and allows the serum with colostrum exosomes, collagen and hyaluronic acid to be absorbed far better than when you simply apply it.

Is a single microneedling treatment worth it?

Yes: straight after the treatment your skin is hydrated, smoother and fresher. For skin texture and firmness a course works better, because those improvements become visible gradually.

What will I notice after the treatment?

Your skin may feel red and warm for a while; this settles within hours to days. No make-up, exercise, sauna or swimming for the first 24 to 48 hours, and no scrubs, peels, retinol or acids for two weeks. SPF 30 to 50 every day.

How often can you have microneedling?

We leave a few weeks between treatments so your skin can fully recover. During the intake we agree on a rhythm that suits your skin.

What does a microneedling treatment do?

Through fine microchannels we deliver an intensely hydrating serum into the skin. The skin is stimulated and absorbs the active ingredients far better. A calming mask, day cream and SPF follow.

Is a single treatment worth it?

Yes, your skin is instantly hydrated, smoother and fresher. Improvements in skin texture and firmness become visible gradually with a course.

What are the downsides of microneedling?

Your skin needs recovery time: no make-up, exercise, sauna or swimming for the first 24 to 48 hours, and no scrubs, retinol or acids for two weeks. We do not perform the treatment if you have an active skin infection, severe acne, a tendency to keloids, are pregnant, take blood thinners or recently had Botox or fillers.

Brow Lamination & Hybrid Dye

What does brow lamination involve?

The brow hairs are styled in the desired direction in two steps, so the brows look fuller and lifted. We then colour them with Hybrid Dye, which subtly tints both the hairs and the skin.

How long does brow lamination last?

Until the styled hairs have been replaced by new ones, usually a number of weeks. Exactly how long differs per person and hair growth; we will tell you at your appointment.

How much does brow lamination cost?

The Brow Lamination & Hybrid Dye takes 60 minutes and costs € 75, including shaping, styling and a nourishing finishing treatment.

What is a lash lift?

Your own lashes get a natural curl and lift from the root in three steps, and are tinted. Nothing is added: only your natural upper lashes are lifted.

How long does a lash lift last?

Until the lifted lashes have been replaced by new ones, usually a number of weeks. It differs per person; we discuss it at your appointment.

What is the difference with lash extensions?

With extensions, artificial lashes are glued onto your own. With a lash lift we only work with your natural lashes: lifting, curling and tinting. No extension maintenance, but an open, awake look.

What is the difference between powder brows and microblading?

Microblading draws individual hair strokes into the skin. With powder brows we apply pigment in tiny dots, layer by layer, creating a soft, powdery fill that looks like a lightly made-up brow. Powder brows suit every skin type.

How long do powder brows last?

Over time the colour softens. A touch-up refreshes it; the touch-up rate applies up to 24 months after your treatment. The follow-up after six to eight weeks is included in the price.

What are the downsides of powder brows?

Straight after the treatment the brows are darker than the final result, small scabs form after three to seven days, and for two weeks you apply nothing to the brows and avoid the sauna, hot tub and sunbed. We do not perform the treatment during pregnancy, with blood thinners, a tendency to keloids or recent Botox.

How much do powder brows cost?

€ 385 for 150 minutes, including the follow-up after six to eight weeks. A touch-up costs € 185 and applies up to 24 months after the treatment. Permanent make-up is done in Zevenhoven.

What is an infralash treatment?

With a fine needle we place pigment between the lash hairs themselves. This creates no eyeliner line, but a darker lash base: your lashes look fuller and closer together.

What is the difference between infralash and a PMU eyeliner?

A classic PMU eyeliner places a visible line on the eyelid. Infralash stays within the lash line and is designed so you do not look made-up.

Does infralash hurt?

The lash line may be a little red and slightly swollen straight after the treatment; this settles over the following days. Sensitivity differs per person; we discuss it during the intake.

What are the downsides of infralash?

No eye make-up for fourteen days, no sauna, hot tub or sunbed for two weeks, and no lash curler or extensions for six weeks. We do not perform the treatment if you have an eye infection, glaucoma, recent eye surgery or are pregnant.
