What is the Hollywood Carbon laser Peel?

Is a gentle skin rejuvenation technique using  the Spectra laser and a carbon lotion. It gives a luminous and radiant complexion, and it is great for having a beautiful and healthy skin glow. It is called ‘Hollywood’  carbon laser peel as it is a perfect ‘red carpet’ treatment … to shine like a star!

The technique consists of applying a carbon lotion on the skin (black-grey face mask based on carbon) that has to dry for 10 min. Then the actual laser treatment can begin and involves 3 phases:

• During the first phase, the skin is slightly heated by the laser to melt the carbon lotion deeper into skin pores. The carbon layer adheres to all impurities in the skin.
• The second phase consists of removing the carbon layer with the laser, causing a soft skin exfoliation (‘soft peel’).
• During the third and final phase, several more laser passes are performed to heat the skin and to stimulate collagen synthesis. This is the so called ‘Revital treatment’.
  
  

What is the Hollywood Carbon Peel used for?

Next to giving a glowing complexion, it is used to even out skin tone, reduce pigmentation, treat active acne and improve wide pores.
It is a gentle and safe procedure for all skin types. 

Is the Hollywood Carbon Peel painful?

The laser procedure can be slightly uncomfortable, but is not painful.

How do I look after the treatment?

The skin can be slightly red for 30 minutes up to a few hours but there is no downtime.

When do I see the results?

A single session can be used to achieve a radiant complexion, e.g. for a special occasion to look your best. The result of the treatment is seen after a couple of days. Ideally we recommend to plan a session 3 to 7 days before a special event. 

For acne and pigment treatment multiple sessions are required to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions varies depending on the indication. Sessions can be repeated with an interval of about 3-4 weeks.

For preventive rejuvenations and maintenance of healthy complexion sessions are usually repeated every 2-3 months.
