Combining Skin Boosters With Lasers for Glass Skin in SG
Introduction
The pursuit of “glass skin” — that flawless, luminous, and poreless look popularised by Korean beauty trends — has captured the attention of beauty lovers worldwide, especially in Singapore. Achieving this radiant, translucent complexion goes beyond makeup and skincare; it’s about improving skin health from within.
In recent years, a combination approach using skin boosters and laser treatments has become one of the most effective ways to achieve true glass skin. These two technologies complement each other beautifully — lasers resurface and clarify the skin, while skin boosters restore hydration and plumpness at a cellular level.
In this complete 2025 guide, we’ll explain how lasers and skin boosters work together to transform your skin’s tone, texture, and glow. You’ll learn which laser types are best suited for your needs, the different brands of skin boosters available in Singapore, what to expect from combination sessions, treatment costs, and how Dr Plus Clinic Singapore designs personalised programs to deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results.
What Is “Glass Skin”?
The term “glass skin” originates from Korea and describes skin that appears clear, luminous, smooth, and naturally radiant, with a light-reflective glow similar to glass.
Key Characteristics of Glass Skin:
- Even tone and refined pores
- Deep hydration and plumpness
- Smooth, soft texture
- Subtle radiance without oiliness
To achieve glass skin, skincare alone often isn’t enough. Daily exposure to UV rays, pollution, and air conditioning can dull your complexion and weaken your skin barrier. That’s where medical aesthetic treatments like lasers and skin boosters come in — they repair the skin from within, not just on the surface.
The Science Behind Combining Skin Boosters and Lasers
Why Combination Treatments Work Better
Both treatments target different layers of the skin:
- Lasers work on the epidermis and upper dermis, addressing pigmentation, redness, and uneven texture.
- Skin boosters work on the deeper dermis, improving hydration, elasticity, and collagen formation.
By combining them, you treat both the surface and structure of the skin simultaneously — resulting in stronger, brighter, and healthier skin.
Synergistic Benefits
- Laser: Removes damaged cells and refines texture.
- Skin Booster: Rehydrates and strengthens new cells after laser renewal.
This synergy promotes faster healing and magnifies the “glow” effect, giving you that highly coveted glass-skin finish.
Understanding Skin Boosters
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are microinjections of hyaluronic acid (HA) and other nutrients that replenish hydration deep within the skin layers. They are sometimes described as “injectable moisturisers” that work from the inside out.
How Skin Boosters Help Achieve Glass Skin
- Hydration: HA attracts and retains up to 1,000x its weight in water, keeping the skin supple.
- Elasticity: Stimulates collagen and elastin for firmer skin.
- Radiance: Smooth, hydrated skin reflects light better for a natural glow.
- Texture Improvement: Reduces fine lines, dryness, and roughness.
Popular Skin Booster Brands in Singapore (2025)
| Brand | Main Ingredient | Best For | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profhilo® | Hybrid hyaluronic acid | Firmness & elasticity | 6–9 months |
| Rejuran Healer | Polynucleotides (PN) | Repair & rejuvenation | 6–12 months |
| Restylane Vital | Stabilised HA | Deep hydration & glow | 6–9 months |
| Teosyal Redensity I | HA + antioxidants | Brightness & tone | 6–9 months |
| Juvelook / Lenisna | PDLA + HA | Collagen stimulation | Up to 18 months |
Each product works differently, and your doctor at Dr Plus Clinic Singapore will recommend the most suitable one for your skin condition and goals.
Understanding Laser Treatments
What Lasers Do
Laser treatments use controlled light energy to target specific skin concerns such as pigmentation, enlarged pores, dullness, or fine lines. They work by creating micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging cell turnover and collagen regeneration.
Common Types of Lasers for Glass Skin
1. Pico Laser
Delivers ultra-short energy pulses to break down pigmentation and stimulate collagen without damaging surrounding tissue.
Benefits:
- Reduces pigmentation and acne scars
- Brightens skin tone
- Refines texture
- Safe for Asian skin tones
2. Laser Toning
Uses low-energy Q-switched lasers to gently lighten uneven skin tone and stimulate dermal repair.
Benefits:
- Evens out complexion
- Improves radiance and smoothness
- Reduces enlarged pores
3. Fractional Laser (e.g., Fraxel, CO2)
Creates microscopic columns of laser injury to trigger collagen rebuilding.
Benefits:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Smooths rough texture and acne scars
- Tightens and rejuvenates skin
4. Long-Pulse Nd:YAG Laser
Targets deep layers for collagen tightening and redness reduction.
Benefits:
- Firms skin
- Shrinks visible pores
- Improves overall tone
Why Combine Lasers and Skin Boosters?
1. Holistic Skin Rejuvenation
Lasers resurface the top layer while skin boosters nourish the dermis, creating a full-spectrum approach to renewal.
2. Faster Healing After Lasers
Skin boosters infused post-laser help accelerate recovery and reduce redness or dryness.
3. Enhanced Collagen Regeneration
The combined stimulation from laser energy and injectable nutrients doubles the collagen-building response.
4. Longer-Lasting Radiance
Skin boosters help maintain results from lasers for months, extending your glow.
5. Reduced Pigmentation & Improved Clarity
Together, they even out tone, fade freckles, and reduce post-inflammatory marks more effectively than either treatment alone.
The Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Consultation
At Dr Plus Clinic Singapore, your journey begins with a detailed skin assessment. The doctor evaluates your hydration levels, pigmentation, and skin texture before designing a customised treatment plan.
Step 2: Laser Treatment
Your skin is cleansed and numbed. The chosen laser (e.g., Pico or laser toning) is applied to target pigmentation, scars, or texture.
Step 3: Cooling & Preparation
After the laser session, your skin is cooled and prepared for the next step.
Step 4: Skin Booster Injection
Microinjections of your selected booster (Profhilo, Rejuran, etc.) are delivered into the dermis. This replenishes moisture, soothes irritation, and amplifies glow.
Step 5: Recovery & Post-Treatment Care
A soothing mask or LED light therapy may be applied to reduce redness.
Step 6: Follow-Up
You’ll receive aftercare instructions and a personalised schedule for maintenance.
What to Expect After Treatment
| Timeframe | Skin Response |
|---|---|
| Immediately After | Mild redness or warmth; hydration levels start to rise |
| 1–3 Days | Skin feels smoother, brighter, and less inflamed |
| 1–2 Weeks | Glow becomes more visible; pores appear refined |
| 4–6 Weeks | Peak collagen production — skin appears firmer and more radiant |
Recommended Treatment Schedule
| Phase | Frequency | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Initial | 3 laser + 3 skin booster sessions (3–4 weeks apart) | Build strong foundation |
| Maintenance | 1 session every 6 months | Sustain collagen and glow |
This structured program helps maintain the glass skin effect long-term.
