How does the Fire and Ice Peel work?

Having undertaken a Visia Scan and consultation and determined the most appropriate treatment plan for you, the Fire and Ice Peel will be administered. While you lie back in the relaxing clinic environment your skin will be cleansed in preparation for the resurfacing fire peel, this will be left on the skin for a maximum of five minutes and is counterbalanced by the rejuvenating Ice masque which provides a calming and restorative end to the procedure.

What are the benefits of the Fire and Ice treatment?

It is generally recommended to have a course of treatments which can help with the following skin complaints

How long do the results last?

• The immediate skin improvements will last for several days and can be maintained by using our recommended
daily skincare products.
