What is the Spectra Carbon Peel?
The Spectra Carbon Peel is an innovative facial treatment that rejuvenates dull or damaged skin instantly revealing a more radiant complexion. It is a comfortable, no downtime carbon assisted laser rejuvenation treatment, that is safe for most skin types.
This treatment is also referred to as the “Hollywood Facial” or “Hollywood Laser Peel” as it is known globally to help restore damaged skin and instantly provide a more youthful glow, making it a favourite pre-event facial.
The Spectra Carbon Peel can be provided as:
- a single Glow & Go fresh ‘n up treatment for that pre-event glow (day or two prior to event) or
- a series of treatments for more anti-aging benefits.
The Spectra Carbon Peel targets both the epidermal and dermal skin layers to effectively correct or improve many skin conditions such as:
- Fine Lines (Stimulates Collagen Production)
- Uneven Skin Tone & Texture
- Enlarged Pores/Clogged Pores
- Oily skin/Over Active Sebaceous Glands
- Blackheads
- Superficial scarring including PIH(post inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
Technology Does Make a Difference
The Spectra is a dual-mode Q-switched Nd: YAG Laser, that has been expertly engineered for performance.
Its power options allow for both millisecond(Spectra mode) and nanosecond(1064nm & 532nm) options.
The uniform top hat beam profile ensures that the energy is delivered efficiently to maximize the effect on the treatment area, while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues.
What To Expect During Your Treatment
Three steps to a glowing complexion that everyone will surely notice!*
Photo Enhancing Effect
First, we apply a thin layer of the Spectra Patented Carbon Lotion to cleansed skin. The carbon lotion is left on the skin for several minutes to allow penetration into your pores.*
Photothermal Effect
Second, we use the 1064nm Spectra laser mode to complete a full pass over the carbon treated area. The Spectra laser mode provides photothermal stimulation of the epidermis and dermis by gently heating the skin allowing deeper penetration of the carbon particles and stimulating cell regeneration.*
Photomechanical Peeling Effect
Third, we use the 1064nm Q-switched laser mode to complete multiple passes which removes the Spectra carbon lotion by vaporizing the carbon particles (photomechanical reaction) within the pores to reduce pore size, oils and exfoliate the dead skin cells, leaving you with the perfect healthy glow!*
