How does it work?

Our expert Medical Aestheticians use the Hollywood Spectra Laser with AcnePeel™ by Lutronic to combat acne and reveal your skin’s natural brilliance. This advanced, patented treatment tackles the root causes of acne, such as an increase in oil production in your sebaceous glands due to hormonal imbalances. The AcnePeel™ employs a two-step laser technique: we apply a carbon lotion to your skin, followed by microsecond and nanosecond laser pulses. This process sterilises acne bacteria, unclogs oil-filled pores, and reduces inflammation, delivering a comprehensive solution for inflammatory acne. The result? A noticeable reduction in sebum, fewer breakouts, and a brighter, more even complexion.

A Personalized Assessment

Before the procedure, our experienced staff will walk you through the process and answer any questions to ensure you're comfortable and fully informed. During a personalized assessment your treatment provider will work with you to create a treatment plan to meet your unique skin goals.

Carbon Lotion Application

A light layer of Spectra carbon lotion will be applied to your skin. This lotion has a carbon base, so your skin will look as if you are wearing a mud mask. The carbon will penetrate deep into the pores, creating a target for the laser energy.

Proceed with Treatment

• Delivering of Laser Pulses: The Spectra Laser uses a sub-millisecond pulse to warm your skin gently, binding the carbon to pore openings, followed by a 5ns pulse to remove the carbon and exfoliate the skin. You will hear slight snapping sounds when the laser is fired and may feel a slight tingling or warmth. Multiple passes will be required over your skin until the carbon base is completely gone.
• Targeting Acne Causes: This process opens clogged pores, reduces sebum levels, sterilises acne bacilli, and diminishes inflammation.
• Enhancing Skin: It also minimises pigmentation, stimulates collagen and gives your skin a fresh, luminous glow.

FAQ

Which areas can be treated?
Any area where there is acne present
What does the treatment feel like?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the AcnePeel™. You’ll feel a warm, prickly sensation as the laser delivers energy, often accompanied by a quick snapping sound. No anaesthesia or numbing is typically needed, even for those sensitive to discomfort, making it a comfortable experience.
How many treatments will I need?
Active acne requires a consistent approach. We’ll tailor a treatment plan to your acne type and severity, often recommending a series of 3-6 sessions for lasting results. Sessions are quick—about 20 minutes—and spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and regenerate. Many clients start seeing improvements after just a few treatments, with optimal clarity over time.

Is there any downtime associated with the Hollywood™?
You can return to your daily activities with virtually no downtime. Your skin may show slight redness, typically fading within a few hours. Over the following days, expect enhanced exfoliation as your skin sheds impurities, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion. Many clients also notice diminished pigmentation and an overall improvement in skin condition. We’ll customise your plan to ensure the best outcome for your unique needs.

Aftercare Tips

To support your skin’s healing, use a gentle cleanser, hydrate your skin, and apply SPF daily. Avoid occlusive or exfoliating products for a few days, and we’ll provide personalised guidance to maintain your results.
