Hollywood
Carbon Laser Peel

Restore your skin’s natural glow with the Hollywood Laser Peel, a quick and comfortable carbon laser procedure. This treatment is designed to reduce unwanted pigmentation, exfoliate for a softer tone and texture, and stimulate collagen production, resulting in a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion. Whether you want to enhance your daily skincare regimen or achieve that special “glow” before an event, the Hollywood Laser Peel offers zero downtime, making it the perfect addition to your routine.

The process begins with a patented carbon lotion that preps your skin and activates with the laser, ensuring a strong bond with your outer skin cells. A follow-up laser sweep lifts away the lotion along with dead skin and debris, flushing out impurities from your pores and revealing a revitalized, radiant complexion. Enjoy fast treatments with minimal discomfort, as this procedure effectively exfoliates the skin, reduces unwanted pigmentation, boosts collagen synthesis, and refines your overall skin tone and texture.

Hollywood
Acne Peel

The patented Hollywood Laser Peel (AcnePeel) treatment effectively addresses the causes of active acne, including hormonal influences, clogged pores, and heredity. Using a carbon lotion, this technique involves applying microsecond and nanosecond laser pulses to exfoliate the outer skin layer, sterilize acne-causing bacteria, and unclog pores, resulting in clearer skin.

The Hollywood Spectra laser system, combined with the carbon lotion, targets pores and enhances laser energy absorption. The treatment gently warms the skin, allowing the carbon particles to bind effectively. The subsequent laser pulse removes these particles, reducing sebum levels and brightening the complexion. Patients can expect a fresh skin luminosity that lasts for weeks.

Quick and comfortable, the AcnePeel treatment takes about 20 minutes with virtually no downtime. Many patients choose to complete a series of treatments for maximum benefits, as this method efficiently manages active acne while also exfoliating the skin and stimulating collagen production. Experience a renewed glow and confidence—schedule your Hollywood Laser AcnePeel treatment today!

Melasma Management

The “gold standard” Spectra Laser is FDA-approved and highly effective in reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, brown spots, freckles, and deeper pigments such as melasma on the face. Unlike conventional IPL devices, Spectra targets and breaks down pigment into smaller particles that can be naturally eliminated by the body, leaving the skin warm, bright, and smooth. Treatments typically involve minimal to no downtime, though some patients may experience temporary redness and mild sunburn-like effects that can last from 2 to 24 hours post-treatment.

Pigmented lesions may lead to prolonged heat, puffiness, and mild crusting, depending on the treatment level. Additionally, pigmentation in areas treated for melasma may temporarily darken as the laser targets the pigment, but this darkening will resolve within 4 to 6 weeks. Individuals receiving treatment should always wear sunscreen and avoid sun and heat exposure, as these can retrigger pigmentation.

What is Botox?

Botox injections are shots that use a toxin to prevent a muscle from moving for a limited time. These shots are often used to smooth wrinkles on the face. They’re also used to treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye and other conditions. Botox shots also may help prevent migraines and can assist with TMJ. But most importantly Botox helps us to relax the muscles that are bothersome when we look in the mirror, the frown that we don’t mean to have when we are concentrating and it life’s our brows when we feel like we can never get enough sleep! It gives your youth back with no downtime and it starts working in as little as a few days.
How long does Botox last?

The effects of Botox typically last between 3 to 4 months, though this can vary based on factors like the area treated, the individual’s metabolism, and the number of treatments they've had.
Is Botox safe?

Yes, Botox is considered safe when administered by a trained and certified professional. Side effects are usually minimal, but may include mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.
Does Botox hurt?

Most people experience only mild discomfort during Botox injections. The needles used are very small, and some clinics offer numbing cream or ice to minimize any discomfort.
How long does it take to see results?

Results typically begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible within 1 to 2 weeks after treatment.
Will my face look "frozen" or unnatural?

When performed by a skilled injector, Botox should look natural, softening lines without limiting normal facial expression. Discussing your desired look with your provider can ensure results that align with your preferences.
What does Botox feel like afterward?

Immediately following your Botox treatment, you might experience a slight stinging sensation at the injection sites, with small, red bumps forming in those areas. These effects are generally mild and should subside quickly. In some rare cases, you may develop a mild headache post-treatment, but it’s usually short-lived and can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain medication.
Is bruising after Botox normal?

Bruising after Botox injections is uncommon, but it can happen. Bruising occurs when the needle accidentally hits a blood vessel, allowing blood to pool beneath the skin, which results in a bruise. Even highly experienced practitioners can cause this, so it’s not a reflection of their skill. Certain factors can increase your likelihood of bruising, such as taking blood-thinning medications (like ibuprofen or aspirin), having thinner skin, or having underlying medical conditions that affect blood clotting. Be sure to share your medical history with your practitioner to ensure they can provide the safest and most appropriate treatment for you. If you're on blood-thinning medication or have medical conditions that might increase your bruising risk, consult your doctor before undergoing Botox treatments.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle. What dermal fillers can do: Plump thin lips Enhance shallow contours Soften facial creases and wrinkles Improve the appearance of recessed scars Reconstruct contour deformities in the face Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging, or as a value-added part of facial rejuvenation surgery.
What’s the difference between botox & fillers?

Dermal fillers are injected under the skin to smooth lines or add fullness to the face or hands. Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is injected into specific muscles to relax them. It can be used to flatten wrinkles as well as a number of other medical conditions. The side effects of dermal fillers and Botox are usually mild. Filler works immediately while Botox takes a few days to settle in.
When will I see the final results from dermal fillers?

You may notice immediate improvements, but full results typically take up to 4 weeks as any swelling subsides and the filler integrates for a natural look.
How long do dermal fillers last?

Dermal fillers can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler and the treatment area. Lip fillers may last around 12 months, while cheek or jawline fillers can last up to 18 months or more.
How can I make my dermal fillers last longer?

To prolong your results, stay hydrated, use sunscreen, avoid excessive sun exposure, and follow a consistent skincare routine. Avoiding smoking can also help extend the life of your fillers.

IV therapy uses a type of tiny plastic tubing (cannula) that goes into the vein, a needle, and plastic tubing that connects the set-up to a bag of fluid. Altogether, the pieces are called an “IV.” IV fluid often contains water, glucose (sugar), and electrolytes (potassium, sodium, and chloride). An IV may allow more than one fluid to be given at the same time and into the same place
Why is IV THERAPY more efficient than taking oral vitamins?

While your body ordinarily absorbs nutrients slowly, vitamin IV therapy allows it to rapidly absorb nutrients at higher doses.

What should I expect after my IV THERAPY treatment?

This typically goes away quite quickly, but you will notice almost immediately that you feel refreshed, energized and hydrated.
