How many treatments will I need?

Glacial Skin can be done as a one-time treatment, added to other services, or in a series. Best results come from consistent sessions as part of an ongoing skin wellness routine — we'll build a plan together during your consultation.

What does a typical treatment plan look like?

Your plan is customized to your skin. Glacial Gloss sessions are commonly scheduled four weeks apart and can be combined with Glacial Glide. Glacial Glide can also be added to any facial or aesthetic treatment as a calming finisher.

What should I expect after treatment?

Most clients describe it as one of the most relaxing treatments they've experienced. Your skin will look immediately brighter, more hydrated, and visibly refreshed — with zero downtime.

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes. Glacial Skin is safe for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. The controlled cooling has a naturally calming effect, making it especially well-suited for reactive skin.

Glacial fx is my cryo-cooling technology — not a standalone facial, but the engine I build into the treatments where it does the most good. Controlled cooling, active ingredients, and lymphatic drainage, combined for real results.

What is Glacial fx?

Glacial fx controlled cooling device used at The Skin Tune

Glacial fx uses controlled cooling to calm inflammation, boost circulation, and deliver active ingredients deeper into the skin. It's the technology behind some of my most effective facials — not a treatment you book on its own, but the reason certain facials work as well as they do.

I use it in two forms, depending on the facial and your skin's needs.

Two forms

Glacial Gloss

Cryotherapy + a gentle 8% peel + lymphatic drainage. The peel resurfaces while the cooling calms — used in facials where I'm clearing congestion or brightening tone.

Built into: Clear, Brighten

Glacial Glide

Cryotherapy + lymphatic drainage only — no peel. Pure cooling and circulation for reactive, sensitive skin that can't tolerate acids.

Built into: Calm

What it does for your skin

Calms redness and soothes inflamed, reactive skin
De-puffs and moves circulation through lymphatic drainage
Boosts absorption of active ingredients
Refines texture and brightens overall tone
Preps skin to receive the rest of the facial more effectively
Safe for sensitive, acne-prone, and rosacea-prone skin

Frequently asked questions

Is Glacial fx a facial on its own?

No — it's the cryo-cooling technology I build into my Clear, Brighten, and Calm facials. You don't book Glacial fx separately; you book the facial that uses it. The technology is part of what makes those facials work.

Is the cold uncomfortable?

Not at all. Most clients describe it as one of the most relaxing parts of the facial. The cooling is controlled and gentle — refreshing, not shocking.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. The Glacial Glide form (used in the Calm facial) is specifically designed for reactive and sensitive skin — no peel, no acids, just cooling and lymphatic drainage. It's the gentlest option I offer.

What does the cryo actually do?

Controlled cooling constricts blood vessels to reduce redness and puffiness, then triggers a rebound circulation boost that delivers nutrients and oxygen to the skin. It also helps active ingredients penetrate more effectively and calms inflammation at the source.
