The first step of the facial is to throughly cleanse the skin with iS Clinical Cleansing Complex.
This is followed by the ‘Fire’ part of the facial - an Intensive Resurfacing Masque combining sugar cane extract (glycolic acid) with retinol (vitamin A) & niacinamide (vitamin B3) to provide rapid & controlled exfoliation without peeling or downtime.
The skin is then neutralised.
The next stage is the ‘Ice’ Rejuvenating Masque which infuses skin with hyaluronic acid & antioxidants to soothe, reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen synthesis & boost hydration after resurfacing of the skin.
A unique combination of pharmaceutical grade serums & complexes are then applied to leave the skin looking hydrated & radiant.
-
Not at all. It is likely you will feel a pleasant tingling & warmth whilst the Intensive Resurfacing ‘Fire’ Masque is in contact with the skin. This can increase after the masque is removed but is quickly soothed after neutralisation & application of the Rejuvenating ‘Ice’ Masque.

AlumierMD® chemical peels
A chemical peel is a treatment used to improve skin tone, texture & radiance.
It involves applying acids to the skin to lower the pH. This loosens the connections between healthy & dead skin cells, inducing exfoliation & stimulating new cell growth. This process causes superficial layers of the skin to peel off, revealing a smoother & more radiant complexion.
Chemical peels improve skin texture & firmness, decreasing fine lines & wrinkles. Peels also even out skin tone, improve acne-prone skin & reduce pore size appearance.
I offer the exclusive selection of AlumierMD® peels, known for their excellent results & safety profile.
Procedure time
45 minutes.
Results
Visible from 48-72 hours.
No. of treatments
3-6 recommended, every 4 weeks.
Downtime
Minimal to none. May cause slight redness, tightness, peeling, flaking or temporary dryness.
