You’ve said “yes,” set the date, and started planning every detail of your wedding—but what about your skin? With all eyes (and cameras) on you, achieving a clear, glowing complexion before your big day is likely near the top of your bridal beauty checklist. Whether you’re the bride, groom, or part of the wedding party, prepping your skin matters.
That’s where the Fire and Ice chemical peel steps in. Known as a celebrity-favorite facial treatment, this non-invasive skincare solution offers visible results without the downtime—making it ideal for wedding timelines. At San Carlos IV Bar in San Carlos, CA, this treatment is designed for those seeking real results without disrupting their busy schedule.
Let’s explore why this rejuvenating peel has earned its place in countless wedding prep routines.
What Is a Fire and Ice Chemical Peel?
The Fire and Ice chemical peel is a two-step facial treatment combining the benefits of resurfacing and hydration. It’s designed to target dullness, fine lines, acne, and uneven skin tone while restoring balance and glow. This treatment uses two distinct masques:
- The “Fire” masque acts as an intensive exfoliator, boosting cellular turnover and smoothing the skin’s surface.
- The “Ice” masque calms, soothes, and deeply hydrates, leaving the skin refreshed and radiant.
This non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure is often dubbed the “Red Carpet Facial” for a reason: results are immediate, and there’s no peeling, flaking, or downtime. That makes it especially popular with soon-to-be-weds and professionals alike.

If you’re preparing for your wedding—or just looking to refresh your skin—this treatment delivers in more ways than one. Here’s how it supports your skincare goals:

What to Expect (Process, Timeline, Results)
Pre-Treatment Prep
There’s little you need to do before the session, but it’s best to:
- Avoid retinoids and strong exfoliants for a few days prior
- Skip tanning or sunburns
- Let your provider know if you have any recent skin treatments
A consultation at San Carlos IV Bar ensures your skin is in optimal condition and that the treatment is tailored for your needs. Don’t hesitate to contact us and start planning your perfect pre-wedding skincare routine.
Treatment Day
A typical session lasts 30 to 60 minutes and involves:
- Gentle cleansing of the skin
- Application of the “Fire” masque—expect a tingling sensation as it works
- Application of the “Ice” masque to cool and hydrate
- Finishing products to lock in moisture and protect your glow
Most clients describe the experience as invigorating yet comfortable. The “fire” portion may feel slightly warm, but the “ice” masque soothes instantly.
Downtime and Recovery
- No recovery time is needed—you can get back to your routine directly
- Temporary redness is possible but often disappears later the same day
- Skin looks and feels refreshed almost immediately
Results Timeline
- You’ll see brighter, smoother skin immediately after treatment
- Optimal glow and tone improvement develop over the next few days
- For best results, schedule your peel 4–7 days before your event
- A series of treatments may be recommended for deeper concerns

Yes, but it’s far gentler than traditional peels. It uses mild exfoliants and soothing agents, offering rejuvenation without peeling or downtime.
Can I wear makeup after the treatment?
Yes, although many people feel confident going makeup-free. If you do apply makeup, wait a few hours to allow the products to settle.
