Big event, tired skin, no time to recover? Here's what a Hollywood Facial involves, step by step.
It's a situation we see all the time: a wedding, an engagement party or a big night out is a few days away, and your skin is showing the effects of stress, late nights and the odd breakout. You want something quick, effective and gentle, not a treatment that leaves you red or peeling before the big day.
That's exactly what the Hollywood Facial was made for.
The Hollywood Facial is another name for the carbon laser facial. It uses a carbon lotion and laser energy to exfoliate, deep-clean the pores and refresh the skin. It's designed to:
A thin layer of carbon lotion is applied. It settles into the pores and binds with oil, dead skin cells and surface impurities.
Laser energy is passed across the skin, targeting the carbon. As the carbon is lifted away, it takes that build-up with it and gently exfoliates the surface. Most people feel a warm, tingling sensation.
Once the carbon is removed, skin typically looks brighter, smoother and clearer. Many people leave happy to go makeup-free.
That's the big appeal. For most people there's no peeling and no recovery period, so you can book it a few days before an event and go straight back to your day.
