Mechanism of action

The Hollywood Spectra laser uses advanced technology based on ultra-short light pulses to target and treat various concerns. The laser beam penetrates deeply into the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue. The light energy is absorbed by the pigments and the elements responsible for skin imperfections, leading to their fragmentation and natural elimination by the body.
The laser also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which accelerates skin regeneration and improves texture, tone, and elasticity.
These mechanisms of action allow a wide range of aesthetic concerns to be treated.

What happens during a Hollywood Spectra laser session ?

Avant le début du traitement, une consultation a lieu afin de déterminer les objectifs esthétiques du patient, d’éliminer les contre-indications et d’évaluer sa peau.

Le jour de la séance, le visage est nettoyé minutieusement pour éliminer toute trace de maquillage, d’huile ou de saleté. Une crème anesthésiante peut être appliquée sur la zone à traiter.

Doctor Romano adjusts the laser settings according to the patient's skin type and specific needs. During treatment, the laser beam is swept over the targeted area.
Throughout the session, the patient may feel slight warmth or a tingling sensation.

The session lasts between 20 and 30 minutes.
Afterward, a healing cream is applied, and the patient can immediately resume normal activities.

Recommendations before and after Hollywood Spectra laser treatment

Pour garantir des résultats optimaux et minimiser les risques d’effets secondaires, il est essentiel de suivre certaines recommandations avant et après le traitement.

Avant la séance, il est conseillé d’éviter toute exposition au soleil et de ne pas utiliser d’autobronzants. Les patients doivent également cesser l’utilisation de produits exfoliants ou irritants, comme les rétinoïdes, au moins une semaine avant le traitement. Une consultation préalable avec le médecin permettra de discuter des antécédents médicaux et de tout médicament en cours, afin de s’assurer qu’il n’y a pas de contre-indications.

Après le traitement, il est essentiel de protéger la peau traitée en appliquant régulièrement un écran solaire à large spectre, même par temps nuageux, pour prévenir l’hyperpigmentation et les dommages causés par les UV. Une crème hydratante douce devrait être utilisée pour apaiser et maintenir l’hydratation de la peau. Il est également recommandé d’éviter les activités qui pourraient provoquer une transpiration excessive, comme l’exercice intense, ainsi que les bains chauds et les saunas pendant les premiers jours suivant le traitement.
