Fire & Ice Facial: Pre + Post Treatment Instructions

Pre Treatment

  • Please advise your Hela Medical Spa aesthetician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding prior to your Fire & Ice facial treatment.

  • You should avoid waxing or any other laser usage on skin for about 72 hours prior to the treatment.

  • Stop using any of your daily skin care products that contain vitamin A/retinol, glycolic acid, or any other ingredient that is used for resurfacing and exfoliating. Such products must be stopped from being used three to five days prior to the treatment.

  • Please advise your hēla medical aesthetician about any medications that you’re taking. Use of some medications won’t allow you to get this treatment.

Post Treatment

  • “Fire & Ice Facial” has no downtime. This means you will not experience any skin shredding, redness, inflammation or irritation at all.

  • It is expected that after the treatment your skin may seem flushed, but this effect will wear off within the next 4 to 6 hours.

  • It is recommended that you wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30-50 daily.
