WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR FIRE & ICE FACIAL
The Fire & Ice Facial rapidly resurfaces and hydrates the skin with no downtime. Here is what to expect during your session at Boston Beautox:
- Deep Cleansing: Your provider cleanses your skin to remove surface oils and prepare your skin barrier.
- The Intensive Resurfacing Masque (The "Fire"): A warming mask featuring glycolic acid and retinol is applied. You will feel a noticeable heat and tingling sensation as it exfoliates dead skin cells.
- Neutralization and Extraction: The peeling mask is removed with a cool compress, followed by gentle extractions if you have pore congestion.
- The Rejuvenating Masque (The "Ice"): A soothing, luxurious mask with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera instantly cools the skin, calms redness, and drives deep hydration into the tissue.
- Post-Treatment Serums: The session finishes with targeted iS Clinical serums and a protective sunscreen.
Immediately afterward, your skin will feel tighter, firmer, and smooth. Any slight, temporary flush usually fades within an hour.
CANDIDACY AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
This facial is safe for all skin types, but we check every patient against specific clinical guidelines to ensure total safety.
- Ideal Candidates: Anyone dealing with fine lines, uneven texture, or dullness. Because it gives immediate results with zero downtime, it’s a favorite right before major events.
- Known Contraindications: You should delay booking this treatment if you have active cold sores, open facial wounds, severe cystic acne, a current sunburn, or if you’ve used Accutane within the past 6 months. We also recommend stopping topical retinoids 3 to 5 days before your visit.
TAKE YOUR SKIN FURTHER
Results from your iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial can be sustained longer when paired with other modalities like Lumecca IPL and Morpheus8 RF Microneedling. Lumecca IPL addresses pigmentation and sun damage, while Morpheus8 is ideal for more aggressive anti-aging results beyond what a facial can provide. Your provider can help establish a custom treatment protocol designed to help you reach your skincare goals. Book your facial appointment with Boston Beautox today!
FIRE + ICE FACIAL FAQS
What is the iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial and why is it called the "Red Carpet Facial"?
The iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial is a professional resurfacing treatment using a warming intensive masque followed by a cooling hydrating masque, developed by iS Clinical (Innovative Skincare). It earned the nickname "Red Carpet Facial" because it delivers immediately visible skin improvements including brighter tone, smoother texture, and luminous glow — with no downtime, making it popular as a pre-event treatment.
What does the iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial actually do for your skin?
The Fire & Ice Facial addresses fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, enlarged pores, blemishes, and mild hyperpigmentation. The warming resurfacing masque exfoliates and stimulates circulation, while the cooling masque hydrates and soothes the skin. Results are visible immediately: most patients leave with a noticeably brighter, smoother, and more refreshed complexion. Individual results vary.
Is there any downtime after the Fire & Ice Facial?
The Fire & Ice Facial is designed for visible results with minimal downtime. Most patients experience mild redness and warmth that subsides within a few hours. Unlike more aggressive chemical peels or laser treatments, the Fire & Ice Facial typically does not cause visible peeling, making it suitable before events or for patients who cannot take time off for recovery. Individual responses vary.
Who is a good candidate for the iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial?
The iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, including patients with fine lines, dullness, uneven texture, mild acne, or those seeking a glowing pre-event skin refresh. It is generally appropriate for patients who want professional resurfacing results without aggressive downtime. A brief consultation with your provider at Boston Beautox will confirm suitability for your specific skin type and any contraindications.
How is the Fire & Ice Facial different from a HydraFacial?
The iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial uses a two-phase masque system — a warming resurfacing masque that exfoliates and resurfaces, followed by a cooling hydrating masque — to deliver skin renewal. HydraFacial uses patented vortex suction technology to simultaneously cleanse, extract pore congestion, and infuse serums. Both are low-downtime treatments; the Fire & Ice focuses more on chemical resurfacing and glow, while HydraFacial focuses on deep cleansing, hydration, and pore extraction.
How long does the iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial take?
A Fire & Ice Facial typically 45–60 minutes. The treatment requires no downtime, so patients can schedule it during a lunch break or before an event. Boston Beautox recommends arriving a few minutes early for a brief consultation before your first treatment.
