The Frozen Facial is a one-hour Crystal Clear treatment that delivers ice-cold, oxygen-infused f10 peptide serum into the skin through thousands of tiny micro-channels. It is designed to firm and brighten, and it works best as a course of six sessions, two weeks apart. At Escape Beauty in Truro it costs £80 per session.
If you have seen it on Instagram and wondered what actually happens, this guide walks you through the appointment step by step, what results to expect and how many sessions make sense.

What is the Frozen Facial?
The Frozen Facial is one of three treatments we offer using the Crystal Clear COMCIT TDO system. If you are new to COMCIT, our guide to what COMCIT TDO is explains the technology in more detail.
In short, a roller with very fine points glides over the skin, creating microscopic channels. At the same time, chilled serum rich in dissolved oxygen is delivered through the roller, so it can travel deeper than skincare applied from a jar. The serum used in the Frozen Facial is Crystal Clear's f10 peptide formula.
What is f10?
f10 is Crystal Clear's peptide complex. The brand describes it as "the satellite navigation system for the skin", telling the other ingredients where to go to make a difference. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins such as collagen, and they are widely used in professional skincare to support firmer, smoother-looking skin.
The micro-channels open the door, the cold oxygen refreshes the skin, and the f10 peptides do the long-term work. That is why the Frozen Facial is designed as a course rather than a one-off.
What happens during your appointment
1. Consultation
On your first visit we talk through your skin, your goals and a few health questions, to make sure the treatment is right for you.
2. Cleanse and prepare
Your skin is thoroughly cleansed so the serum can be delivered onto a clean surface.
3. Cryo-oxygen and micro-channelling
This is the main event. The COMCIT roller moves across the face, neck and jawline in careful passes while the chilled f10 serum is delivered. Expect cold, then a light tingle.
4. Finish and protect
We finish with soothing Crystal Clear skincare and SPF, and talk you through aftercare before you leave.

Crystal Clear designed the Frozen Facial to help improve the appearance of:
- Loss of firmness, especially around the jawline and cheeks
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Uneven tone and pigmentation
- Dehydration
Skin often looks plumper and more awake straight after the first session, thanks to the hydration and the cold. The firmer, smoother changes take longer, because they rely on the skin's own renewal over several weeks. Results vary from person to person and depend on your skin, your age and your lifestyle.
How many sessions do you need?
Crystal Clear recommends a course of six Frozen Facials, one every two weeks. That spacing gives the skin time to renew between sessions while keeping momentum going.
| Stage | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Session 1 Week 0 |
Skin looks hydrated, fresher and more awake. |
| Sessions 2 to 3 Weeks 2 to 4 |
Glow lasts longer between visits. Texture often starts to feel smoother. |
| Sessions 4 to 6 Weeks 6 to 10 |
The firming and brightening work builds. This is where a course earns its keep. |
| Afterwards | A maintenance facial every 4 to 8 weeks helps keep skin on track. |
Six sessions at £80 each is £480. Ask us about current course offers when you book.
Frozen Facial or Advanced Facial?
Both use the COMCIT roller and f10 peptides. The Advanced Facial (1 hr, £100) adds microdermabrasion at the start to resurface the skin, so it suits people who also want to work on rough texture, congestion or the look of scarring. The Frozen Facial focuses on firming and brightening. If you mainly want an instant glow for an event, the H2O Glow Facial is the one-off option.
Aftercare: the first 24 hours
- Leave your skin make-up free for the rest of the day.
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths and hard exercise for 24 hours.
- Pause retinol, acids and exfoliants for a couple of days.
- Wear SPF every day.
- Keep skin moisturised and drink plenty of water.
Who is it not suitable for?
We would wait or suggest an alternative during pregnancy, with active skin infections, open wounds or cold sores, or while taking certain medications. Your consultation covers all of this before we begin.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Frozen Facial?
The Frozen Facial is a one-hour Crystal Clear COMCIT TDO treatment. Chilled, oxygen-infused f10 peptide serum is delivered into the skin through tiny micro-channels created by a fine roller. It is designed to firm and brighten the skin over a course of treatments.
Why is it called the Frozen Facial?
Because the oxygen serum is delivered ice-cold. The chill is the part clients remember most. It feels bracing and refreshing, and helps the skin look instantly awake.
How many Frozen Facials do I need?
Crystal Clear recommends a course of six treatments, one every two weeks, so roughly three months in total. Skin often looks fresher and more hydrated after the first session, while changes in firmness and texture build over the course.
Does the Frozen Facial hurt?
Most clients describe it as cold and tingly rather than painful. The roller creates a light prickling feeling and your therapist checks in with you throughout.
Can I wear make-up after a Frozen Facial?
We recommend leaving your skin make-up free for the rest of the day so the micro-channels can settle. You can wear make-up as normal the next day.
How much is the Frozen Facial in Truro?
