Glacé™ Microdermabrasion in Lafayette, LA
What Is Glacé™ Skin Therapy?
Glacé™ is a customizable skin therapy designed to address your skin’s needs at different stages of your treatment plan. Rather than following the same set of steps for every patient, each session can combine precision microdermabrasion, hydro-infusion with targeted serums, sculpting massage, LED therapy, and warming or cooling technology based on what your skin needs most.
At Elle, Glacé™ can be used as a standalone treatment to exfoliate, decongest, hydrate, and restore a healthy glow. It can also be incorporated before laser, IPL, or radiofrequency treatments to prepare the skin, or afterward to help soothe and support recovery. Because the treatment is so versatile, Glacé™ may serve different purposes throughout your overall skin care plan.
Glacé™ Before and Afters
Subtle improvements in brightness, hydration, and overall skin quality can become more noticeable over time. View patient results to see examples across different treatments and areas. Individual results may vary.
How Glacé™ Skin Therapy Works
The exfoliation phase uses diamond-integrated tips at one of four abrasion levels, selected for your skin’s sensitivity and condition that day. Hydro-infusion follows, clearing congestion while delivering serums chosen from six targeted formulations across two phases.
Finishing options include sculpting cupping massage, LED therapy, and thermal or cooling skin-renewal wands. Up to four modalities can be combined in a single session, and which ones are used depends on what your skin needs rather than on which package you booked.
The Three Ways Glacé™ Is Used at Elle
As a Standalone Treatment
Glacé™ on its own is a customized treatment for skin needing exfoliation, decongesting, hydration, and glow. The protocol is built at the appointment, drawing on four abrasion levels, hydro-infusion and extraction, Phase A and Phase B serums selected from six formulations, sculpting cupping massage, and a finishing phase with LED or the skin-renewal wands.
A standalone session runs approximately 60 minutes. Results typically hold three to four weeks, which is why most patients treating this way come monthly.
Before a Laser, IPL, or Radiofrequency Treatment
Exfoliating the surface and optimizing hydration before an energy-based treatment provides a cleaner, more uniform canvas. Skin that is properly prepared going into a laser session responds more predictably to the energy being delivered.
Used this way, Glacé™ adds approximately 10 minutes to your appointment.
After a Treatment, to Support Recovery
Serum infusion paired with LED therapy or the cooling wands calms, hydrates, and soothes skin that has just been through an energy-based treatment. This use adds approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
When Glacé™ follows a laser or radiofrequency treatment, the aftercare instructions for that treatment govern rather than the standalone guidance.

Areas Glacé™ Skin Therapy Treats
Treatment focuses on the face and extends to nearby areas where congestion and skin quality are also concerns. At Elle Medical & Aesthetics in Lafayette, LA, commonly treated areas include:
- Full Face: Addressing exfoliation, congestion, hydration, and overall glow in one session
- Forehead: Clearing buildup in an area prone to congestion
- Nose and Chin: Where clogged pores and blackheads concentrate

- Décolletage: Treating texture and dehydration on chest skin
Abrasion level and serum selection are adjusted by area based on skin thickness and sensitivity.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Glacé™ Skin Therapy?
- Your skin needs exfoliation and hydration: The core of what a standalone Glacé™ session delivers.
- You have congestion or clogged pores: Hydro-infusion clears buildup while delivering serums.
- You are preparing for or recovering from a laser treatment: Glacé™ is built to sit on either side of energy-based work.
- You want zero downtime: Skin looks brighter immediately, and makeup goes on right away.
- You prefer monthly maintenance: Standalone results holding three to four weeks suit a regular rhythm.
Your skin condition, sensitivity, current skincare, and recent treatments are all assessed before the protocol is selected.
Who Performs Glacé™ Skin Therapy at Elle
As a standalone treatment, Glacé™ is performed by Elle’s licensed esthetician under the supervision of Crystal Fontenot, ANP-BC, a board-certified adult nurse practitioner who also holds a Licensed Esthetician credential in the State of Louisiana.
When Glacé™ is part of a combined plan alongside laser or radiofrequency work, Crystal performs or directs it herself as one component of the plan she builds with you. That way, the sequencing of what comes before and after the energy-based treatment is decided by the person delivering it. You can read more about the practice and the other laser treatments available at Elle Medical & Aesthetics.
What to Expect During Your Glacé™ Appointment
- Consultation: For a standalone treatment, your esthetician assesses skin condition, sensitivity, current skincare, and recent treatments, then selects the serum protocol. When Glacé™ is part of a larger plan, the sequencing is decided at Crystal’s consultation alongside the laser or radiofrequency work it supports.
- Exfoliation: Performed at one of four abrasion levels using diamond-integrated tips, which are single-use for every patient.
- Hydro-infusion and extraction: Clears congestion while delivering Phase A and Phase B serums chosen from six targeted formulations.
- Sculpting cupping massage: Included where appropriate for your protocol.
- Finishing phase: LED therapy or the thermal and cooling skin-renewal wands, selected based on what your skin needs.
A standalone session runs approximately 60 minutes. Used as pre-treatment preparation, it adds roughly 10 minutes, and as post-treatment support, it adds roughly 10 to 15 minutes.
Afterward, there is no downtime in any of the three contexts. Skin looks brighter and more hydrated immediately, and makeup can go on right away. Skip retinoids and acids for three days, and use daily SPF as always. When Glacé™ follows a laser or radiofrequency treatment, that treatment’s aftercare instructions govern.
Glacé™ Skin Therapy Results and Timeline
Skin looks brighter and more hydrated immediately after treatment, which is one reason Glacé™ works well before an event.
Standalone results typically hold three to four weeks, which is why most patients treating this way come monthly. When Glacé™ is used to prepare or support an energy-based treatment, its contribution shows up in how that treatment performs and how comfortably you recover. Individual results may vary.
Glacé™ Skin Therapy Risks and Safety
Glacé™ involves no downtime in any of its three contexts, and most patients experience nothing beyond brighter, more hydrated-looking skin immediately afterward.
Skip retinoids and acids for three days following treatment, and continue daily SPF. When Glacé™ follows a laser or radiofrequency treatment, that treatment’s aftercare instructions take precedence over these.
Your skin condition, sensitivity, current skincare, and recent treatments are assessed before the protocol is selected, which is how abrasion level and serum choice get matched to what your skin can comfortably tolerate.
Glacé™ Pricing and Financing in Lafayette, LA

How often should I get a Glacé™ treatment?
