The Glacial Skin Procedure
Glacial Skin Recovery Timeline
Your Glacial Skin Results
Achieving Natural-Looking Results
Glacial Skin works with your body’s biology rather than against it. By gently calming inflammation and encouraging healthy cell turnover, the treatment reveals your own skin’s radiance rather than creating artificial changes. Results depend on baseline redness, pigment, and collagen levels, as well as adherence to sun protection and skincare. Because we customize cooling intensity and serum selection, improvements look authentic—simply a clearer, more luminous version of you.
Where Are the Incisions?
Glacial Skin is completely non-invasive and does not involve incisions.
Is Scarring a Concern?
Because no skin is cut or punctured, scarring is not a concern with Glacial Skin. Temporary redness or mild swelling typically resolves within 24-48 hours.
Skin Response Timeline
Here’s what to expect as your skin responds:
Hours 0-24
Skin may look slightly flushed, then return to its baseline tone.
Days 2-7
Glow increases as exfoliation progresses.
Weeks 2-4
Redness and pigmentation continue to fade.
Following recommended skincare and daily SPF maximizes results and supports a healthy barrier.
Understanding Risks and Safety
Understanding Risks and Safety
Glacial Skin is generally safe when performed by trained professionals in an accredited facility. Potential side effects are minor and short-lived.
Potential risks may include:
• Temporary redness or swelling
• Mild darkening of pigment before it lightens
• Dryness or tightness
• Rare sensitivity or allergic reaction to topical products
• Temporary numbness or tingling
• Unintended pigmentation changes if post-care is ignored
Your provider will review these risks with you in detail during your consultation and explain how they are minimized through careful technique and follow-up care.
Reducing Your Risk
Your safety is a top priority at South Coast Plastic Surgery. Steps taken to support a safe glacial skin experience include:
• Thorough skin assessment and patch testing if needed
• Customized cooling parameters based on skin sensitivity
• Use of physician-approved topical products
• Detailed at-home care instructions and product recommendations
By following your provider’s guidelines and protecting your skin from UV exposure, most patients enjoy a smooth, complication-free recovery.

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.
Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
