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 ?

Before beginning treatment, a consultation is conducted to determine the patient’s aesthetic goals, eliminate any contraindications, and assess the skin.

On the day of the session, the face is thoroughly cleansed to remove any traces of makeup, oil, or debris. A numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area.

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

To ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of side effects, certain recommendations must be followed before and after treatment.

Before the session, avoid sun exposure and do not use self-tanners. Patients should also stop using exfoliating or irritating products, such as retinoids, at least one week before the procedure. A prior consultation with the doctor will help assess medical history and current medications to ensure there are no contraindications.

After the treatment, it’s essential to protect the treated skin by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly, even on cloudy days, to prevent hyperpigmentation and UV damage. A gentle moisturizer should be used to soothe and maintain hydration. It's also recommended to avoid activities that may cause excessive sweating, such as intense exercise, as well as hot baths and saunas during the first few days after the session.
