What Is the Hollywood Facial and How Does It Work?

The Hollywood Facial, also referred to as a Carbon Peel Laser, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that combines medical-grade carbon with laser technology. It is designed to support skin cleansing in a medically supervised environment.

The treatment involves two key steps:

  1. Carbon Application
    A thin layer of carbon lotion is applied to the skin. This carbon is intended to penetrate the pores and bind to impurities such as excess oil, dead skin cells, and debris.
  2. Laser Activation
    A laser is passed over the treated area, heating and breaking down the carbon particles. As the laser energy interacts with the carbon, it gently exfoliates the skin and stimulates a natural response in the deeper layers of the skin.

This process may help improve skin texture, assist in oil management, and support overall skin clarity. Results and suitability vary from person to person and will be discussed during your consultation.

What to Expect from Treatment

Before Treatment

Your skin will be assessed by our doctors to ensure the treatment is suitable for you. You may be advised to avoid sun exposure or active skincare ingredients before your appointment.

During Treatment

Most clients describe the sensation as mild warmth or a light snapping feeling as the laser passes over the skin. The session typically takes around 30 minutes.

After Treatment

You may notice temporary redness or sensitivity. These effects usually resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. You’ll be given aftercare instructions, including avoiding direct sun exposure and using sunscreen.

Depending on your skin goals, your provider may recommend a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
