Cold Hammer Facial in Fort Myers
The cold hammer is a chilled metal handpiece that glides over your face at the end of a facial. The cool sensation helps calm the look of redness, de-puff tired skin and give a firm, refreshed finish. It is one of the most satisfying steps of the visit, and it feels wonderful on a warm Florida day.

What is a cold hammer facial?
It is a handpiece with a rounded metal head that is kept cool, which your esthetician glides across the face and neck in smooth strokes. Because it is cold rather than hot, it feels like a refreshing close to the treatment. It never pulls or presses hard, so it suits most skin types.
What does it do for your skin?
- Calms the look of redness after exfoliation
- Helps skin look de-puffed and refreshed
- Gives a firm, smooth-looking finish
- Seals in the feel of serums for a comfortable close

Cold hammer questions
Is it too cold?
It feels refreshingly cool, not icy. Your esthetician tests it on your skin first and keeps it moving so you stay comfortable.
Is it good for sensitive-looking skin?
Many clients with reactive-looking skin love it, because it is calming and does not press hard. Tell us about any cold sensitivity or conditions, and we will adjust.
Will it reduce puffiness?
It can help skin look less puffy and more refreshed for a while after your visit. Results are cosmetic, temporary and vary from person to person.
Which Hydra Spa facials include the cold hammer?
The cold hammer is part of the Express Hydrate (as the cool finish), Deluxe and Ultra Glow facials. The Signature, Clarify and Brighten facials can add it with the Cold Hammer Finish add-on, which is never booked alone. Kira confirms the steps that suit your skin at your consultation.
Who should skip the cold hammer?
Tell us if you are very sensitive to cold, have active irritation or sunburn, or have had a recent procedure. Your esthetician will choose a gentler finishing step if the cold hammer is not right for you that day.
