Treatment Overview
What is the Carbon Spectra / Hollywood Peel?
The Hollywood Peel applies a liquid carbon nano-particle lotion to the face, which penetrates into pores and absorbs onto the skin surface. A Nd:YAG laser (1064nm) pre-heats the carbon, then a second high-energy pass (1064nm Q-switched/Picosecond) vaporizes it along with the oil, debris, and dead cells within the pores. The result is visibly cleaner pores, reduced oiliness, a brightened complexion, and stimulated mild collagen remodeling, all without any downtime. It is particularly well-suited to Fitzpatrick types III to V.
