The Hollywood Facial. The red-carpet skin secret.
You may have heard it called the Hollywood Facial or a Carbon Laser Peel. Both names have become associated with the same thing: skin that looks exceptionally clean, smooth, refined and camera-ready.
The treatment gets its names from its reputation as a quick pre-event facial, particularly among celebrities and models preparing for red-carpet and camera appearances.
But the black carbon mask isn't just for the photo.
We apply a layer of carbon to the skin, where it works its way into the pores and is designed to bind with oil, dead skin cells and surface impurities. Laser energy is then passed across the skin, targeting the carbon and helping lift away what it has attached to.
The result is a treatment that cleans the appearance of congested pores, exfoliates the skin and refines the look of enlarged pores, while the laser's heat may also help support collagen.
Before: skin can feel rough, oily, congested or dull. Pores can look larger and texture can feel uneven.
After: skin feels exceptionally smooth, clean and soft. Pores look more refined, the surface looks more even and the complexion has that unmistakable fresh, polished glow.
It's the sort of treatment you book when you want your skin to look really bloody good — before an event, a night out, a photoshoot, or simply because you want that feeling of freshly polished skin.
No waiting for your skin to peel. Little to no recovery time. Just beautifully polished skin.
A fine layer of carbon lotion is applied to the skin, followed by laser treatment that targets the carbon. Your technician will explain the process and aftercare before treatment.
Individual experiences vary. Your technician can discuss the likely response and whether a course of treatments may be appropriate for your skin goals.
A simplified look at what happens during treatment, from the first layer of carbon to clearer-looking skin.


A thin layer of carbon lotion is applied and settles into the pores.

The big spot handpiece delivers light that is absorbed by the carbon layer.

The carbon breaks into tiny particles, lifting away trapped oil, dead skin cells and debris.

Pores are left cleaner and skin looks clearer.

Skin can look smoother and more radiant, with improved tone and texture.
