This year&#8217;s global heatwave made things worse: weeks of relentless sun and humidity left my skin overproducing oil at the T-zone while quietly dehydrating underneath, the two working against each other in a way no single product in my bathroom cabinet seemed able to fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result was a complexion that looked tired even on days I felt fine, congested in places, dull in others, and lacking the clarity I remembered from a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the human nature of getting older. Noticing it is not vanity, it is awareness, and for a modern gentleman, awareness is where good decisions begin. Self-investment stopped being an indulgence long ago and became part of how we show up, in a boardroom, at a family dinner, or simply in the mirror before we leave the house. So when I booked myself in for&nbsp;<strong>Glac\u0113<\/strong>&nbsp;skin-rejuvenating treatment at&nbsp;<strong>The M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219 Clinic<\/strong>, Great Eastern Mall in Ampang, I went less as a beauty writer chasing a trend and more as a man curious whether science could genuinely undo what a punishing few years of weather and time had done to my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001043-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001043-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001043-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001043-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001043.jpg 1425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219 Clinic GE entrance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The clinic itself<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219 Clinic<\/strong>&nbsp;at Great Eastern Mall, does not try to overwhelm you with theatrics. The consultation room was calm, clinical without being cold, and the therapist walked me through each stage of Glac\u0113 before switching on a single machine. That mattered to me. I have sat through enough aesthetic consultations dressed up in vague promises to appreciate one that simply explained the mechanics: what the diamond tips do, what the cupping does, what the LED does, and why the sequence matters. There was no pressure to add on extras, no rushed upsell. It felt like a clinic, which, at its core, is exactly what it is meant to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001068-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Dr._Hew_introduces_first_Glace_skin_treatment_in_Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-1002\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6669980278664079;width:563px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001068-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001068-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001068-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001068-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001068-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000001068-scaled.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr Hew Yin Keat, Founder &amp; Medical Director, The M.A.C.

It is built on the South Korean philosophy of&nbsp;<strong>yuri-pibu<\/strong>, or glass skin: a complexion so smooth and hydrated it reflects light like polished glass. What makes it interesting clinically is that it is not one treatment but three, layered into a single session. It begins with hydrodermabrasion using precision diamond tips, which exfoliates while stimulating collagen production and drawing out embedded dirt and dead skin the way a gentle vacuum cleaner lifts dust out of upholstery, thorough, but never harsh, all while infusing the skin with antioxidant-rich serums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next comes a dual-mode cupping massage: a pulsed setting that encourages lymphatic drainage, depuffs the face, and reduces sagginess, followed by a continuous setting that works the contours to slim the jawline and sculpt a firmer look. The session closes with Glac\u0113Finish, LED light therapy paired with a bio-cellulose mask that calms the skin, protects the barrier, and locks in hydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire process took a little over&nbsp;<strong>an hour<\/strong>, which felt reasonable given how much ground it was covering. There was no pain or discomfort worth mentioning, and crucially, no downtime. I walked out of&nbsp;<strong>The M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219 Clinic<\/strong>&nbsp;and went straight back into my day, which for a man with a calendar that rarely has empty slots, matters as much as the result itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219_clinic_Ambassador_-Sanjna_-Suri_at_LIVE_-Demo_Glace_skin_treatment_launch-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219_clinic_Ambassador_-Sanjna_-Suri_at_LIVE_-Demo_Glace_skin_treatment_launc\" class=\"wp-image-1003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219_clinic_Ambassador_-Sanjna_-Suri_at_LIVE_-Demo_Glace_skin_treatment_launch-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219_clinic_Ambassador_-Sanjna_-Suri_at_LIVE_-Demo_Glace_skin_treatment_launch-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219_clinic_Ambassador_-Sanjna_-Suri_at_LIVE_-Demo_Glace_skin_treatment_launch-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219_clinic_Ambassador_-Sanjna_-Suri_at_LIVE_-Demo_Glace_skin_treatment_launch-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219_clinic_Ambassador_-Sanjna_-Suri_at_LIVE_-Demo_Glace_skin_treatment_launch-2048x1365.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219 Clinic Ambassador Sanjna Suri at the LIVE Demo of Glace to media and guests.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What I Saw<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before I left the clinic, the staff told me something I found hard to believe at the time: that visible results could show as fast as a day after the session. My God, what an improvement it turned out to be. By the next morning, the change was unmistakable, not a subtle shift I had to convince myself of, but the kind of difference that makes you do a double take in the bathroom mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am cautious about before-and-after claims, having read enough marketing material to know how flattering lighting can do a lot of the work. So I looked closely at my own photographs, taken under the same clinical lighting, same angle, same towel draped the same way, and the difference was not subtle. The skin around the cheek and under-eye area, which had carried visible texture and a faint patchiness before the session, appeared noticeably smoother and more even in tone afterward. The small blemishes and areas of redness that had been sitting stubbornly near the jawline were visibly calmer. Most striking to me was the light. My skin had that mirror-like quality the treatment promises, a genuine glow rather than the oily sheen I had grown used to during the heatwave. It looked hydrated from within, not just topically shiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subjectively, my skin felt roughly&nbsp;<strong>five years younger<\/strong>&nbsp;to the touch, firmer, calmer, and less congested than it had in months. I did not expect a single one-hour session to move the needle that much, and I say that as someone who tends to under-promise the effects of any aesthetic treatment in writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Before-After-GLACE-skin-treatment-Mac-clinic-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Before_After_GLACE_skin_treatment_Mac_clinic_Ampang\" class=\"wp-image-1005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Before-After-GLACE-skin-treatment-Mac-clinic-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Before-After-GLACE-skin-treatment-Mac-clinic-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Before-After-GLACE-skin-treatment-Mac-clinic-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Before-After-GLACE-skin-treatment-Mac-clinic-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.mac-clinic.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Before-After-GLACE-skin-treatment-Mac-clinic.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Before &amp; After GLACE skin treatment <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Verdict That Mattered Most<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reviews from clinics are one thing. The reaction of the person who sees your face every single day is another. My wife noticed within minutes of me walking through the door, before I said a word about where I had been. She looked at me twice, the way you look at someone when something has changed but you cannot immediately place what. That, more than any clinical language about hydrodermabrasion or LED wavelengths, told me the treatment had done its job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why This Matters for the Modern Gentleman<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think there is an old-fashioned idea that skincare and aesthetic treatments belong to a different demographic altogether. That idea no longer holds, and frankly, it never should have. A gentleman who takes his health, his fitness, and his wardrobe seriously has every reason to take his skin seriously too. Presence is not only about manner, tailoring and posture. It is also about walking into a room with a complexion that reflects the discipline you bring to everything else in your life. We spend on the watch, the suit, the grooming appointment, the gym membership, and yet the face, the thing every single person we meet actually looks at first, is too often the last item on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Glac\u0113<\/strong>&nbsp;is a well-engineered, three-in-one clinical treatment that delivers a real, visible improvement in texture, tone, and radiance, with zero downtime and results you can verify with your own eyes, and in my case, your own wife&#8217;s reaction. For a man past forty navigating oily skin, occasional flare-ups, and a climate that shows no mercy, that is not a small thing. It is self-investment you can see reflected back at you, and in a season when the heat outside has been working against every one of us, that is worth more than vanity. It is worth calling maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Glac\u0113 is available exclusively at The M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219 Clinic Great Eastern Mall.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?sca_esv=874d96469ac7fc14&amp;sxsrf=APpeQnsudAYrP8rVx_iOAWRHQuJ3VhZRZw:1784706228050&amp;q=m%E2%88%99a%E2%88%99c%E2%88%99+clinic+ampang+skin+aesthetic+%26+laser+kuala+lumpur+address&amp;ludocid=17036677868567179714&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiBg4Hm5OWVAxXwUGwGHREVNMQQ6BN6BAgnEAI\">Address<\/a>:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>Lot 4A, Level 4, 303, Jln Ampang, Desa Pahlawan, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur<\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Phone:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=mac+clinic+ge+mall&amp;oq=mac+clinic&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCAgBEEUYJxg7MgYIABBFGDkyCAgBEEUYJxg7MhAIAhAuGK8BGMcBGIAEGI4FMgcIAxAAGIAEMhAIBBAuGK8BGMcBGIAEGI4FMgcIBRAAGIAEMgcIBhAAGIAEMgcIBxAAGIAEMgcICBAAGIAEMgcICRAAGIAE0gEIMjI3NWowajeoAgCwAgA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;source=chrome.ob&amp;ie=UTF-8#\">012-502 8212<\/a><\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original Article:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gentlemanscodes.com\/grooming\/glac%C4%93-review-at-the-m%E2%88%99a%E2%88%99c%E2%88%99-clinic-the-skin-treatment-that-left-me-both-speechless-looking-younger\">https:\/\/gentlemanscodes.com\/grooming\/glac%C4%93-review-at-the-m%E2%88%99a%E2%88%99c%E2%88%99-clinic-the-skin-treatment-that-left-me-both-speechless-looking-younger<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Author: Raja Izz- Gentleman&#8217;s Code Magazine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Published Date: 22.07.2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glac\u0113 skin-rejuvenating treatment at The M\u2219A\u2219C\u2219 Clinic, Great Eastern Mall Ampang, promises South Korea&#8217;s coveted &#8220;glass skin&#8221; in one session.
