Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Fire & Ice Facial.

Most sessions last about 30 to 45 minutes depending on skin condition and any add-ons. The glycolic resurfacing is brief and followed by the cooling mask, delivering noticeable results with minimal discomfort and no required downtime.

Most clients experience mild tingling during the glycolic application; any warmth is temporary. The intense cooling phase immediately soothes the skin, reducing irritation. Overall it’s well-tolerated, with redness resolving quickly and minimal sensitivity afterward.

We recommend monthly treatments for ongoing resurfacing and maintenance. Many clients also book Fire & Ice facials between HydraFacial sessions to boost radiance and extend results. Your clinician will tailor frequency based on skin type and specific concerns.

Most skin types can benefit, but those with active infections, open wounds, or certain conditions like severe rosacea may need alternatives. A consultation and skin assessment determine suitability and allow customization of glycolic strength for safe, effective results.

You may notice mild redness or a warm sensation that subsides quickly thanks to the cooling mask. Skin typically looks brighter, smoother, and more even-toned immediately, with continued improvement over days as cell turnover increases.

Avoid retinoids, heavy exfoliation, and prolonged sun exposure for several days before and after treatment. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, moisturize regularly, and follow any personalized homecare your clinician recommends to protect results and support healing.
