FIRE AND ICE TREATMENT
What is the Fire & Ice Treatment?
Pioneered in Beverly Hills and coveted by A Listers globally, this intensive resurfacing treatment is clinically formulated with the purest pharmaceutical grade ingredients and designed to rapidly and safely resurface the skin, reduce fine lines, address problematic skin and encourage cellular renewal. The Fire & Ice treatment bridges the gap between mild facials and invasive peels, and it is likely you will feel heat and tingling whilst the peel is in contact with the skin.
How does it work?
The treatment encompasses two professional treatment masques featuring Glycolic Acid, Retinol & Niacinamide whilst the rejuvenating Masque formulated with potent antioxidants, Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera, Green Tea & Rosemary Extract, soothes, hydrates and nourishes.
