Korean glass skin by celebrity Korean doctor suitable even for acne-prone

MANILA, Philippines — “Who doesn’t want to have glass skin? I also want to have glass skin!”

Such was how Korean doctor Young Cho reacted when asked to describe Korean glass skin.

Specifically, he described “glass skin” as “clean” in texture, small in pores, and brighter in skin tone.

More than just an influence of Korean pop culture, glass skin is very sought after, he believed, as it gives the person more confidence and makes him or her feel trendy.

“Actually, the ratio of our clients is 50-50 right now,” he said, pinpointing the percentage of women and men asking to achieve glass skin from Cho’s Hernel Korean Aesthetic Clinic at the ground floor of Seibu Tower, 24th corner 6th Avenues, Taguig City.

“I think more and more males are also starting to get interested in aesthetic procedures, grooming,” said the Korean doctor to Korean stars, who hails from the beauty capital of Gangnam in Seoul. One of his Korean celebrity clients, who he said is “bigger than Lee Min Ho,” is going to visit Hernel soon.

Cho has established his aesthetic clinic in South Korea for seven years and two years in the United States, before moving to the Philippines two years ago due to stiff competition in South Korea. He came to the Philippines after visiting several times one of his cousins who has been successfully running a business in the country.

“He encouraged me to open a clinic with him because there’s so much potential in this market, as compared to Korea… In Korea, competition is really, really high. I don’t see that much competition in the Philippines and I see that not all procedures and solutions are yet introduced in the Philippine market so I’d like to introduce some of these new stuff we’re using in Korea,” Dr. Cho told Philstar.com in an interview exclusive.

Hernel Korean Aesthetic Clinic offers authentic K-beauty treatments. Since opening in July last year, the clinic has been the go-to place among local politicians and international beauty queens and celebrities.

For photo-ready skin, Dr. Cho has two top picks: Glass Skin Booster and Juvelook Volume. These are both well-loved treatments in
