How does a Hollywood peel work?
The laser energy works in two ways:
-
Targets the melanin (pigmentation) in the cells, breaking it up to be removed naturally.
-
Heats deep into the dermis, causing the skin to counteract and stimulate collagen.
The treatment is gentle enough to be performed every month. With each treatment, you will notice your skin improving and because of the collagen stimulation, you maintain your youthful look.
What to expect during your treatment?
-
A light layer of SPECTRA Carbon Lotion is applied to your skin and needs to set for 10 - 15 minutes. One pass of the laser sets the carbon onto the skin.
-
You will hear snapping sounds when the laser is fired and will feel a slight tingling or warmth as the laser removes the carbon along with a very fine layer of skin.
-
The entire procedure lasts 30 minutes.
