Hollywood Peel

The Hollywood Peel ® has been popularized by stars such as Angelina Jolie and Kim Kardashian. Thanks to its almost immediate effect on the complexion, with no side effects, it can be used between two lunchtime meetings, or before climbing the steps of a festival palace, in front of the world's cameras.

This innovative, all-in-one peel revisits the traditional fruit acid peel with a risk-free technology, combined with a carbon lotion and the latest-generation Hollywood Spectra® laser.

Find out why this peel is so different from anything you've experienced before.

How does the Hollywood Peel ® laser work?

The aim of a peel is to remove part of the skin's thickness, so that it can regenerate and restore a baby's skin, younger, brighter and more sensual.

While most peels are chemical peels with acidic compounds, the Hollywood peel is based on a very different approach, combining a thermal effect with a mechanical one.

This unique, patented approach involves using the Hollywood Spectra laser, the only one to offer triple technology:

  • the Spectra mode, with a wavelength of 1064 nm, heats a carbon lotion applied to the skin in 0.3 ms bursts: this thermal effect acts as a medium peel, stimulating remodeling stem cells in the dermis;
  • the Spectra QS mode, on the same wavelength, will vaporize carbon particles and dead keratinocytes in very short 5 ns bursts, without any thermal effect. This exfoliation by vaporization acts like a superficial peel, smoothing skin texture and homogenizing it perfectly.
  • Hypersurge® mode, which brings photons into resonance, generating high-pressure vibrations: this mechanical effect stimulates neocollagenesis, producing new fibers that firm skin and tone volumes.

This triple action provides a 3-in-1 effect that enhances facial radiance, firms and remodels tissues, rejuvenating them.

How does the Hollywood Peel work?

The peel takes just 20 minutes and is performed in three stages.

It requires a trained practitioner, equipped with a Spectra Hollywood laser developed by Lutronic: this is the only laser that combines the luminous energy of photons with the mechanical energy of resonance, the key to a successful peel.

  1. On cleansed, make-up-free skin, Dr Santini begins by applying CARBON PEEL™ carbon lotion, specially designed by Lutronic® to be reactive to its laser waves.
  2. This totally non-toxic paste of activated charcoal and mineral particles is designed to absorb photon energy, acting as a carrier.
    It is left on for 12 minutes, to fully impregnate skin tissue.
  3. In a second step, Dr Santini uses the handpiece in Spectra mode to heat the carbon lotion for 4 minutes. This heat is transferred to the dermis, with a dual effect: an immediate tightening effect as collagen fibers retract, and a delayed effect as hyperthermia activates the regenerating stem cells responsible for neo-collagenesis.
  4. Finally, Dr Santin performs a physical laser peel in Spectra QS mode for a further 4 minutes: this second pass vaporizes the dead cells with the surface skin film, smoothing out the skin texture to make it even, with a soft, satiny feel.

Just 20 minutes is all it takes to achieve a spectacular double effect on the skin, with the glow effect and the slight tightening effect.
The skin is softer, brighter and slightly more toned, enhancing the sensuality of the face.

Why have the Hollywood Peel?

The Hollywood peel is ideal when you're looking for a quick, painless, risk-free effect, with an immediate impact on facial radiance.

The complexion becomes fresh and luminous as soon as the session is over, leaving you with a soothed, positive face: ideal before a big event such as a family or friends party, or an appointment where you want to look your best.

This physical carbon peel can also be used to treat pigmentation spots, acne pimples and any other small imperfections on the face that impair its beauty, with the certainty of regaining baby-smooth, radiant skin.

Here's a secret from those stars with perfect skin, now available to everyone!
