Fire & Ice Clinical Facial in Martinsville, VA
When it comes to glowing, radiant skin, few treatments have achieved the celebrity status of the Fire & Ice Clinical Facial. Known as the “Red Carpet Facial,” this treatment is loved by Hollywood stars for its ability to deliver smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin — all without downtime. At Uptown Aesthetics & Wellness, we are proud to bring the Clinical Fire & Ice Facial in Martinsville, VA, to our clients. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or simply want to refresh your complexion, this results-driven treatment can help you feel confident in your skin.
What Makes It "Fire & Ice"?
The Fire & Ice Facial is built on a unique dual masque system that provides both resurfacing and rejuvenation in a single treatment.
- The “Fire” Phase: This step uses a powerful combination of glycolic acid, other exfoliating agents, and retinol. It gently resurfaces the skin, encouraging cellular turnover and smoothing fine lines while addressing acne and uneven texture. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation as the masque works to deeply exfoliate.
- The “Ice” Phase: Once the exfoliation is complete, a soothing masque is applied to hydrate and calm the skin. Infused with hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, green tea extract, licorice, and rosemary, this step delivers a cooling, refreshing sensation that leaves your skin balanced and radiant.
This carefully designed system provides dramatic results without harsh peeling or extended recovery.

Treatment Process & Timing
Your Fire & Ice Facial in Martinsville, VA typically lasts 30–60 minutes, making it easy to fit into even the busiest schedules.
Here’s what to expect:
- Cleansing: The skin is gently prepared and cleared of impurities.
- Fire Phase: A warm, exfoliating masque is applied, creating a mild tingling or heat sensation as it resurfaces the skin.
- Rinse & Transition: The masque is carefully removed.
- Ice Phase: A hydrating, cooling masque is applied to soothe, refresh, and calm the skin.
- Finishing Touches: Moisturizer and sunscreen are applied to protect your results.

Aftercare & Frequency
One of the most significant advantages of the Fire & Ice Facial is its minimal downtime. You can apply makeup the same day if desired, making it a perfect pre-event treatment.
Aftercare tips include:
- Avoid using exfoliants, retinols, or harsh active skincare products for at least 3 days before and after your treatment.
- Stay hydrated and apply sunscreen daily.
- Stick to gentle, nourishing skincare recommended by your provider.
For long-term benefits, monthly sessions are ideal. With regular treatments, clients often notice continued improvement in texture, tone, and overall radiance.
Comparisons & Add-Ons
Compared to Chemical Peels, the Fire & Ice Facial offers similar resurfacing results but in a gentler, more comfortable format with zero downtime. While peels may provide deeper correction, Fire & Ice is perfect for patients seeking immediate glow with minimal disruption.
For enhanced results, this treatment pairs beautifully with:
- Dermaplane to remove peach fuzz and boost product penetration
- LED Therapy for added skin-calming and healing benefits
- Hydrating boosters to lock in moisture and extend your glow
Your provider may recommend combining Fire & Ice with other treatments like Microneedling with SkinPen or Facials depending on your skin goals.
