The Fire and Ice Facial goes by many names, such as the Hollywood Facial or Red Carpet Facial. Simply put, it is a legendary facial treatment that the stars swear by to address a wide array of skin concerns. This treatment is designed to rapidly, but safely, resurface your skin with little to no downtime. With iS Clinical, the Fire and Ice Facial is a truly luxurious, intensive option for clients seeking something special.

What is the Fire and Ice Facial?

This facial treatment sets itself apart by focusing on two masks. They are distinctly different, and are administered during your appointment in multiple steps. The goal of the Fire and Ice Facial is to treat a wide range of skin concerns and rejuvenate your skin into a more youthful complexion.

Where to get the treatment

Since its introduction, this facial treatment has been adopted by many estheticians all over the world. Due to its popularity, there are even home versions of the facial that you can purchase. However, if you want optimal results, you want to go to a licensed professional to get the full experience.

The benefits of a Fire and Ice Facial

More so than other traditional facial treatments, the Fire and Ice Facial tries to provide multiple benefits. It combines the benefits of a regular facial, and of a mild chemical peel to be a wholly unique option for clients.

Skin concerns that are helped

No matter your skin type or skin concern, this facial has something for everyone. Some common concerns that are lessened by this facial include:

Helps to reduce hyperpigmentation
Lessens fine lines and wrinkles
Helps to facilitate faster cell renewal
Reduce appearance of scars, rosacea, and inflammation

Other benefits

If you’re simply looking for your skin to look it’s best, there are additional benefits:

Go back to your daily routine right after your treatment
Youthful, radiant complexion immediately after your facial
Perfect facial to get right before big events
Unclogs pores and increases microcirculation

What to expect during a Fire and Ice Facial appointment

Like most facial appointments, you can expect a very relaxing hour where your skin is completely taken care of. By the end of your treatment, your skin will be glowing! Follow any instructions provided by your esthetician to start preparing for your facial.

Preparing for your appointment

Thankfully, there’s little that you need to do before getting a Fire and Ice Facial. Read up on any FAQs or recommendations that your esthetician provides upon booking. Otherwise, all you need to do is show up on time, and be ready for rejuvenation!

The “Fire” portion of the facial

To start with, the treatment begins with a thorough, double cleanse of your face. The cleanse includes a treatment to clear your face of any dirt, debris, and sweat accumulated throughout the day. Then, your face is exfoliated to open your pores and ensure that your skin absorbs all the ingredients and treatments about to be applied.

Finally, we come to the first mask of the facial. It’s an exfoliating and resurfacing mask that instantly smooths and brightens your skin. Due to the combination of niacin, retinol, botanical acids, and antioxidants, you experience a slight tingling or burning sensation. While it may be an intense feeling, it isn’t painful. After a few minutes, your face is cleansed again, and then manual extractions of whiteheads and blackheads are performed as needed.

The second, “Ice” portion of the facial

Next, it’s time for the rejuvenating part of the facial! The second mask is the “ice” part of the treatment because of the soothing, cooling ingredients that make up the mask. Green tea extract, aloe vera, rosemary extract, grapeseed, and hyaluronic acid combine to soothe any redness or irritation that your skin is experiencing.

Also included is a facial massage to aid with lymphatic drainage, and LED light therapy for additional anti-aging benefits. Finally, your skin is treated with serums depending on your skin’s needs. A moisturizer locks in all of the wonderful treatments, and sunscreen is applied to protect your skin from any damage.

Results and aftercare for the treatment

Immediately after your facial is over, you see noticeable results. Expect to receive plenty of compliments for a couple weeks after your appointment. We’ll leave it up to you whether or not you let them in on your secret!

Proper facial aftercare

If there’s any good advice to take home after your facial, it’s just to continue your daily skincare routine right after. You’ll lengthen the amount of time your results last for, but besides that, it’s just important for your skin’s overall health! You should avoid products with retinol or acid for five days after, and any facial waxing for five days before your appointment to ensure the best possible results.
