In this complete guide, Alora Wellness and Spa explores what makes this buzzworthy facial a go-to favorite for stars and skincare lovers alike, how it works, and why it’s earned the nickname “the lunchtime facial” among the A-list. Whether you're prepping for an event or just want to treat your skin to something spectacular, this is your backstage pass to the glow-up.
What Is a Carbon Laser Peel and How Is It Different from Traditional Peels?
While both
traditional chemical peels
and carbon laser peels aim to rejuvenate the skin, they differ significantly in approach and recovery. Traditional peels use acids to chemically exfoliate the outer layers of skin, often resulting in noticeable peeling and several days of downtime. In contrast, the
carbon laser peel, often referred to as the Hollywood peel, uses a laser in combination with a carbon solution to gently resurface the skin with minimal irritation, offering a quicker recovery and instant glow. It’s a gentler, cutting-edge option that reveals glowing skin without putting a pause on your daily skincare routine.
Skincare Concerns Targeted By a Hollywood Peel
The Hollywood peel isn’t just a red-carpet trend. It’s a versatile treatment that targets a variety of common skin concerns to help you achieve a refreshed, glowing complexion. Whether you're battling breakouts or just looking to boost radiance, this peel has you covered. Here’s what it can help with:
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Enlarged or congested pores
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of aging
- Oily or acne-prone skin
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
What To Expect During Your Hollywood Peel Treatment
Your Hollywood peel begins with a light layer of medical-grade carbon applied to the skin, which dries and draws out impurities and dead skin cells. Once dry and set, a specialized laser heats the carbon and subdermal tissue, resulting in deep exfoliation and the peeling of skin immediately after the treatment. This exfoliation helps minimize pores, evens out skin tone, and stimulates collagen production. The result is a smoother, more luminous complexion with little to no downtime. And the best part? Most treatments take around 45 minutes, making it an ideal glow-up you can squeeze into your lunch break.
Tips To Get the Most Out of Your Carbon Peel Treatment
After a laser carbon peel, it’s important to treat your skin with care. This aftercare begins with the application of daily moisturizer, especially if you are experiencing flaking and dryness. While you should always apply sunscreen, be sure to apply at least a 30 SPF sunscreen for the few days after your carbon peel. Avoid retinol products for at least five days and pause exfoliating or abrasive treatments for a full week. For oily skin, acne-targeting products can help maintain results, while those with fine lines or sun-damaged skin may benefit from collagen-rich skincare, supplements, or a collagen-boosting diet.
