Hollywood Carbon Facial
Overview
Reschedule Policy
Number of Sessions: 3–5 sessions for optimal refinement and radiance. Interval Between Sessions: Every 2–3 weeks to allow skin recovery and collagen stimulation. Maintenance: Touch-ups every 1–2 months sustain glow and texture improvements.
Purity Ritual
A double cleanse lifts away sunscreen, makeup, and excess oil — leaving your skin fresh, balanced, and ready for transformation.
The Carbon Veil
A fine layer of activated carbon lotion is brushed over the skin. This “magnet” binds to excess oil, impurities, and surface tan, prepping for precision laser action.
Precision Light Activation
Controlled laser energy first heats the carbon to purify and stimulate collagen, then vaporises it to sweep away debris, dullness, and tan — revealing a smooth, radiant canvas.
Cooling Infusion
A soothing papaya gel calms and hydrates the skin immediately after laser refinement.
The Glow Mask
A soothing mask locks in hydration, recharges tired skin with an instant plump, dewy finish.
Renewal Massage
A light massage with a nutrient botanical oil blend restores suppleness, supports barrier repair, and enhances circulation for lasting radiance.
The Final Shield
Moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF seal in the glow and provide essential protection.
