Chicago's premiere facial & body non-surgical aesthetics
Tiktok is certainly the place to learn about skincare trends and perhaps the biggest breakout star of the social media phenomenon is Korean glass skin. While social media has many faults, one of the more positive aspects is how it unites us across the globe and introduces us to foods from other cultures, different forms of cultural dress and even different skincare techniques – enter Korean skincare.
In all corners of Tiktok and Instagram, creators have learned and have tried to emulate Korean skin techniques- whether that was snail mucus and slugging, everyone wanted to have the Korean flawless glass skin look. Here at Aesthetic Skin Winnetka we cannot promise to transport you to Korea but we can at least make it look like your skin is from there.
One of the best tools for achieving that glass Korean skin is the Pico lazer. Dr.Sameea Chughtai, while she is not Korean, she hails from Filipino and Pakistani descent, she is extremely well versed in the intricacies of skin textures, skin colors of the Fitzpatrick scale – especially with Asian skin. Asia is an extremely vast continent with many different religions, languages and cultures. There are even extremely different dialects within the same country and vastly different cultural norms within the same region – there are also extremely different skin tones and textures within the similar regions which is why it is so incredibly important to only see a licensed laser provider who understands this.
Another laser to add to your arsenal if you’re looking to achieve that Korean glass skin is the CoolPeel laser. The CoolPeel laser is an extremely unique tool as it is safe and effective for any skin color, texture or thickness. The CoolPeel laser is safe enough to use on very fair Japanese skin tones at the same time giving the patient exceptional results while still being safe for a Filipino patient with a richer skin tone.
Another component of achieving the sought after Korean glass skin is the proper medical grade skincare. In both the Aesthetic Skin Winnetka and Aesthetic Skin Chicago there are an array of products that will not only keep your skin glowing but keep it youthful. To start, Dr.Sameea will always recommend a retinol. Dr.Shah has his own line of retinol which is a time released formula which means your skin will not dry out or become irritated like most retinoids on the market. Dr. Sameea also recommends a series of growth factors to keep your skin looking like glass – her favorite is Plated. And finally one of Dr.Sameea’s favorite skincare lines, which is safe for the palest Korean skin tones to the richer skin tones of east Asia, is Defenage. Defenage has amazing barrier creams and serums that will keep your skin looking like your slugged all day.
In both Aesthetic Skin Winnetka and Aesthetic Skin Chicago all our providers are extremely well skilled in appropriately treating all skin tones and types. The atmosphere will always be welcoming and inviting. Please whatever your skin tone, skin texture, ethnic background do not hesitate to schedule a consultation the entire staff is ready to welcome you!
