iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial

It’s a clinical-grade resurfacing facial famous for delivering an instant, red-carpet glow. It combines an intensive resurfacing ‘fire’ masque with a soothing, rejuvenating ‘ice’ masque to smooth texture, refresh tired skin and leave you visibly radiant.

Many patients have it monthly, or before a special occasion for an instant glow. Having it as a course builds a more cumulative improvement in skin brightness and texture over time.

It’s excellent for dullness, uneven texture, congestion and fine lines, giving brighter, smoother, healthier-looking skin. It’s a favourite as both a pre-event glow and a regular skin reset.

It suits most skin types, but if you have very sensitive or reactive skin, or active breakouts. A quick consultation confirms it’s suitable and safe for you.

No, the Fire phase creates a warm, tingling sensation for a few minutes, immediately relieved by the cooling Ice masque. Most patients find it invigorating rather than uncomfortable.

No. This is a no-downtime treatment, which is part of why it’s so popular before events. You may feel a warming, tingling sensation during the ‘fire’ stage and notice mild redness afterwards, but this settles quickly.

The glow typically lasts about one skin cycle, roughly a month, which is why monthly treatments are recommended to maintain it. Individual results vary with skin type and lifestyle.

Because it's famously used by celebrities and their facialists ahead of premieres and award shows — instant, camera-ready results with zero recovery time.

Fire & Ice may not be suitable if you have sensitive or reactive skin, a rosacea or eczema flare-up in the treatment area, a known sensitivity to glycolic acid, retinol or salicylates, recent sunburn, a fresh tan or a recent resurfacing treatment, or an active skin infection or cold sore outbreak. For pregnant and breastfeeding patients individual health needs may vary, suitability is strictly subject to clinic policy. A mandatory pre-treatment consultation is required to assess your suitability and we may need to adapt or substitute the protocol.

Both exfoliate and renew the skin, but the Fire & Ice Facial is a two-mask resurfacing facial designed for an immediate glow and smoothing with no downtime, while a chemical peel can work more deeply and may involve some shedding and downtime.

The iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial with Dr Arti Singh starts from £125. Any add-ons or course options are explained at your appointment.

Yes, you can wear makeup straight after. It's important to keep the skin hydrated, avoid strong actives such as retinoids and acids for a couple of days and wear daily broad-spectrum SPF, as the skin is freshly resurfaced.
