We Tried the Ice Sculpting Facial with AMEŌN in LA — Here’s Why You’ll Want to Book It

If your dream facial includes lifted cheekbones, a sculpted jawline, and that post-vacation glow—minus the flight—consider AMEŌN’s Natural Facelift Sculpting & Remodeling Facial your new go-to. This multi-modality treatment blends a variety of expert techniques—lymphatic drainage, facial sculpting massage, acupressure—with cold therapy in the form of AMEŌN’s signature Glow Manifesto Ice Cubes. It’s one of those rare facials that feels deeply therapeutic while delivering noticeable, immediate results.

As someone who swears by the benefits of lymphatic massage (anything to move stagnation and de-puff tired skin), I was intrigued the moment I learned this treatment combines that kind of sculpting with cryotherapy. Naturally, I had to book.

What to Expect from the AMEŌN Ice Sculpting Facial

The treatment begins with a focused lymphatic massage, designed to reduce puffiness and move built-up fluid through the face’s natural drainage pathways. From there, the therapist works through a combination of facial sculpting, acupressure, and gentle lifting techniques—all aimed at encouraging circulation and releasing the tension we often hold around the jaw, cheekbones, and brow.

It’s not just relaxing—it’s intentional. You can feel your face begin to shift and reawaken as the massage progresses, bringing subtle definition and clarity to your natural features.

Then comes the ice sculpting step, where AMEŌN’s Glow Manifesto Ice Cubes are smoothed over the face in long, cooling strokes. The chilled formula helps calm inflammation and tone the skin, delivering a refreshing boost that instantly depuffs and energizes. These aren’t just frozen water cubes—the formula is packed with plant extracts, antioxidants, and skin-nourishing ingredients that elevate the entire experience.

The treatment finishes with red light therapy, which supports collagen production and allows the skin to fully absorb the essence left behind by the cubes. You leave looking lifted and luminous—with that hard-to-pin-down, just-had-a-facial glow that somehow makes your whole face look more awake.

A Skincare Ritual Rooted in Resilience

For AMEŌN founder Alina Mehrle, the ritual of skin icing is personal. In 2019, while living in New York and working as an architect, she was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 30 years old. As she underwent chemotherapy and a double mastectomy, her daily routines became more about grounding than aesthetics.

“During treatment, my oncologist introduced me to cryotherapy, and I started experimenting with herbal ice blends at home,” she says. “I would massage them onto my face every morning. It became a way to care for myself and calm my nervous system. It was skincare, but it was also survival.”

That morning ritual became the foundation for AMEŌN—a brand rooted in both healing and high-performance skincare. Alina spent over two years developing the line alongside a team of researchers, focusing specifically on how stress—from life, illness, or the environment—impacts skin over time.

“We created AMEŌN for people who’ve gone through something, even if that something is just everyday stress,” she explains. “Our formulas are designed to be gentle, effective, and supportive of skin that needs a little extra care.”

Why Glow Matters in This Facial

The Glow Manifesto Ice Cubes aren’t just a finishing touch—they’re the heart of the facial. Used at the ideal moment, after massage but before red light therapy, they bring together the benefits of cold therapy and topical treatment in one refined step.

“The ice helps reduce inflammation and puffiness, but the real power is in the formula,” Alina explains. “It’s designed to support skin that’s overwhelmed or depleted—whether from too much screen time, travel, or emotional stress.”

Infused with a blend of antioxidant-rich botanicals and adaptogens, the cubes help tighten pores, support circulation, and leave the skin calm, bright, and toned. It’s a moment of cooling clarity—especially following the warmth of massage—and it leaves you glowing in a way that feels completely natural.

Who This Facial Is For

The beauty of AMEŌN’s Natural Facelift Facial is that it meets you where you are. Whether you’re in your twenties and starting to think about long-term skin health, or you’re looking for a natural way to maintain lift and tone, this facial supports the face’s structure, circulation, and resilience—without being aggressive or overcomplicated.

“We all age differently, but one thing is universal—our facial muscles weaken over time,” Alina says. “This treatment helps preserve what’s already there and supports your skin’s ability to regenerate itself.”

It’s an ideal option for anyone looking for an alternative to more invasive treatments—or anyone craving a little reconnection with their skin.

Taking the Ritual Home

While the in-person facial is worth experiencing, AMEŌN’s products are designed to carry the glow into your everyday routine. The Glow Manifesto Ice Cubes are available for at-home use and make a beautiful weekly ritual, especially when your skin feels puffy, dull, or overstimulated.

“I use them at least twice a week, and I keep them in the freezer,” Alina says. “They’ve even helped reduce the appearance of surgical scars when paired with LED light. It’s a small ritual, but it has a big emotional impact.”

To complete the experience, she recommends following with AMEŌN’s Aurora Glow Serum—a lightweight, hydrating layer that smooths texture and adds a radiant finish. “I even apply it around the eyes,” she adds. “Especially if it’s been chilled—it feels amazing after the cubes.”

The Bottom Line

If you’re craving a facial that leaves you looking more lifted, less puffy, and deeply refreshed—AMEŌN’s Natural Facelift Facial is worth the visit. It’s a sculpting, circulation-boosting, glow-enhancing experience rooted in ritual, not trend. And while it delivers real results, it also gives you a moment to slow down and reconnect with your skin.

And if you’re not nearby or want to keep the glow going between sessions, the Glow Manifesto Ice Cubes are a thoughtful way to extend the benefits—and the energy—of the facial ritual, at home.
