SA lady takes Mzansi on skin journey in South Korea
A young Xhosa lady, Litha Mayile, travelled across the globe to marry the love of her life and achieve what Korean people and youngsters call glass skin. This type of look is when the face is blemish-free with a radiant glow as though you were a squeaky clean glass.

Mayile vlogged her realistic first session with her dermatologist. The lady visited a luxurious clinic 30 minutes before her appointment and prepped her face by washing it and trying out the AI skin analysis.
Mayile finally met the woman who’d be working on her face and got right into business without wasting time. After her consultation with the dermatologist, the Mzansi lady got escorted to her personal room where she got prepped for the painful procedure.
Mayile’s doctor applied a generous amount of numbing cream all over her face before introducing the laser treatment, this procedure is called the Pico Laser toning to improve a patient's skin tone, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, erasing skin discolouration, and even removing tattoos.
To prepare for the next procedure, the doctor first cooled down Mayile’s face and moved on to the Double Tite treatment that had the patient rethinking her visit to the clinic. According to Good Clinics Korea, in this anti-ageing treatment, radiofrequency energy is used to rejuvenate the skin from deep within while tightening and rejuvenating the skin at the same time using skin boosters. On the face, this means that the face will be lifted, tightened, and more firm.
Mayile gave viewers an idea of the pain she went through by saying:
“I saw flames, my goodness.”
The lady also cried and begged her dermatologist to stop. After the aftercare, she shared footage of her face which looked puffy and red:
“A hot mess, okay? Apparently, I’m going to glow in a week.”
She shared the clip with the caption:
“I hope the glow will be worth it.”
Mayile also explained the costs of the procedure in the comments section:
“Procedures like this range between 700kwon - R2 million, depending on the clinic.”
