While the name ‘Fire and Ice’ conjures up either an image of something quite extreme (or Bonnie Tyler), iS Clinical’s Fire and Ice Facial really does leave you red-carpet-ready to walk out the door.
The doctors at Clinic 42 often get requests for pre-event spruce-ups and sadly this is when they tend to dissuade patients as time-pressured treatments are not ideal. This is where Fire and Ice is perfect as it’s a rejuvenating experience that combines a unique blend of intensive serums with a stimulating facial mask that leaves the skin positively glowing.
Designed to resurface the skin rapidly and safely, this professional treatment involves the combination of warming and cooling sensations that will leave your skin feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Without giving away too many secrets, the treatment involves a series of cleanses, an intensive resurfacing masque to heat up the skin, several serums to refine the skin texture, diminish the look of blemishes and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and then the process is concluded by a rejuvenating masque to cool down.
At each stage, a gentle massage helps you relax and stimulates circulation within the skin.
The entire treatment is designed to improve the texture and tone of your skin, while also reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Taking only 45 minutes, this treatment bridges the gap between mild facial and invasive peel, leaving the skin with a lit from within effect that lasts for days with some patients feeling like they don’t even want to wear makeup.
Be sure, however, to keep up your daily SPF routine and reapply frequently.
Mild enough to be suitable for all skin types, it’s recommended that you wait four weeks before repeating the Fire and Ice facial. Usually, we would tell you how frequently to have a treatment but so far, we have had to hold back our staff members!
The doctors think this will be the perfect complement to the cosmetic treatments and medical peels available at the clinic and can’t wait to see how it’s received. I think it’s also going to make the ultimate gift this season as it’s suitable for all ages and stages of life, including dad this month—we can always work around those beards!
