Our brand new facial
A dynamic duo – sweet and sour, light and dark, hot and cold at the same time. The fire and ice facial has been taking the beauty community by storm because of its combined use of the heat-inducing functions of an acid exfoliant and the chill of a cooling mask. This service is highly effective for skin resurfacing and inducing skin turnover. At Advanced Plastic Surgery, our medical spa has created its own iteration of the fire and ice facial by combining a glycolic acid treatment with cooling ice rollers.
Glycolic acid
The glycolic acid can, as our aesthetician describes, “Pac-Man style eat up dry, dead skin cells”, effectively removing them from the surface. Glycolic acid can also specifically target sunspots and hyperpigmentation in the skin, so the patient will observe an evening of skin tone. After the heat of the acid is felt, ice rollers are applied across the face. The drastic change in temperature not only soothes the skin after the acid, but it increases circulation to the surface of the skin. Ice also allows for products to penetrate more deeply into the dermal layers, so this service will produce effects with both an immediate and long-term payoff.
Hot towel cleanse and lymph-stimulating massage
The entire service, complete with a hot towel cleanse, lymph-stimulating massage, and the procedure itself takes under an hour. Additionally, our aesthetician evaluates the state of your skin and address any concerns you may have that are not necessarily correctable with the fire and ice facial. Acne, rosacea and other forms of hyperpigmentation are better suited for something heavier like a cosmeceutical chemical peel or microdermabrasion. Our erbium laser lunch peel treatment is also recommended for more penetrative resurfacing. Allow yourself to enjoy new, fresh, dewy skin with minimal downtime through your custom choice of service!
